  Colored Diamonds

This incredibly large and exceptional 4.05-carat Natural Fancy Yellow-Green diamond ranks among the rarest gemstones in the world. The square, radiant-cut gemstone has a VS2 clarity and is accentuated by 40 full-cut natural pink diamonds. A myriad of shimmering white diamonds, totaling 1.90 carats, are set around the green gem and along the shank. Green diamonds occur only under the most exact conditions, and are second only to red diamonds in terms of rarity. To find a green diamond of this size, hue and clarity is to find an undeniable treasure of the natural world. Certified by the GIA to be Natural Fancy Yellow-Green. Set in platinum and 18K rose and yellow gold. 

The verdant hue is achieved via direct contact with radioactive elements over millions of years. Typically, such contact is able to affect only the outermost layers of the diamond, disappearing once the gem is cut and faceted. However, under extremely precise circumstances, if the gem is further radiated by beta, gamma rays and neutrons that are strong enough to penetrate the stone completely, a diamond which is green throughout is born. Since such conditions seldom occur naturally, green diamonds are one of the rarest gems. Rare colored diamonds can be found in many prestigious museums and royal collections throughout the world, but there is only one famous green diamond known, the 41-carat Dresden Green, which is currently housed in the Albertinum Museum in Dresden.
