The Formation of Colored Diamonds
Diamonds form under intense heat and pressure deep within the earth’s crust over millions of years. During this process, trace elements alter the color of some diamonds. Uneek Jewelry highlights how these naturally colored diamonds—ranging from yellow to pink—provide options for customized designs.
Yellow Diamonds: Nitrogen’s Influence
The yellow color in diamonds results from nitrogen atoms bonding with carbon, which absorbs blue light and produces a yellow hue. Uneek Jewelry features yellow diamond designs, including rings from their Eternity and Natural collections.
One design includes a ring set with 19 oval-shaped yellow diamonds totaling 6.39 carats, mounted on a yellow-gold band. Another engagement ring features a 3.55-carat yellow diamond, framed by two cadillac-cut white diamonds on a white-gold band, combining classic and contemporary elements.
Light Yellow Diamonds: Subtle Tones
Light yellow diamonds offer a softer hue compared to their deeper-colored counterparts. One of Uneek’s designs pairs a light yellow diamond with a green emerald, each set on a double-banded yellow and white gold ring. This piece also features nearly 200 smaller diamonds, underscoring Uneek’s focus on intricate craftsmanship.
Pink Diamonds: Rare and Mysterious
Pink diamonds are among the rarest, and their coloration is still not fully understood. Their soft pastel hue distinguishes them from rubies or pink sapphires. Uneek Jewelry’s pink diamond engagement ring features a 0.9-carat central diamond surrounded by halos of additional pink and white diamonds on a white-gold band.
