COLOR ENHANCED DIAMONDS ARE REAL DIAMONDS

Color-enhanced diamonds are not synthetic diamonds. The common color enhanced diamond begins its life as an almost colorless diamond in a raw state. The diamond is then put through a very scientific process, involving irradiation, known as HPHT (high temperature, high pressure). Read more about the HPHT process.
White diamonds are more expensive than color enhanced diamonds because the best candidates for enhanced color diamonds are the diamonds that already have some coloring and are not entirely white. The diamonds selected to be color enhanced are not flawed. Color enhanced diamonds were invented due to the increasing demand for naturally colored diamonds, and the industry could not meet the demand. Simple supply and demand economics. As the demand increased so did the price due to the scarcity of the diamonds. Developed in 1904 and becoming popular in the 1950s, color enhanced diamonds made diamonds increasing affordable and available to the general public. Current technological advancements have increased the range of colors available.
