Fancy diamonds are an industry term used to describe coloured diamond variants. Unique in every way, fancy diamonds come in a variety of shades.
Just like clear diamonds, fancy diamonds are natural diamonds that are GIA certified. Different colours are more rare than others.
The new coloured diamonds range offered by GS Diamonds is available both online and in-store.
Start with a coloured diamond, or start with a settle - the choice is yours (or your partners). We create truly bespoke rings and designs to suit every aesthetic.

Unlike traditional clear diamonds, coloured diamonds are formed with distinctive pigments, resulting in captivating, vibrant tones of pink, yellow, green, blue and red. Whether it be within an engagement ring, diamond pendant, or droplet earrings, a coloured diamond as the centrepiece of jewellery makes for a unique piece with a touch of your personality.
With GS Diamonds, we offer bespoke diamond jewellery services for you to create customised coloured diamond jewellery. You can browse the options online and in-store to create the perfect piece for yourself or your loved one.
Types of Coloured Diamonds
Though they may look similar to their gem counterparts, naturally coloured diamonds are much rarer due to the number of elements that need to be present for their creation deep in the earth. Each coloured diamond is placed in a certain range of colours that determines its value.
Yellow-coloured diamonds are one of the most popular variants, forming in the presence of nitrogen. Because of their bright lustre, they are best used as centrepieces in jewellery, such as the main gem of a necklace. Yellow diamonds are often a symbol of happiness, friendship, and hope.
Blue diamonds are highly prized for their exceptional rarity and brilliant appearance. Formed in the presence of boron, diamonds with a blue hue make for an ideal choice in engagement rings or wedding rings due to their symbolic relationship with eternity, devotion, and truth.
Orange diamonds are sometimes referred to as “pumpkin diamonds” due to their rich and bright shine. They are generally considered one of the rarer types of coloured diamonds. Orange diamonds typically represent energy and zest.
Brown diamonds are among the more common types of colour diamonds, accounting for almost 15% of naturally mined diamonds. Despite their common nature, this more mellow shade of diamond has become increasingly popular in Australia becasue of its versatility in matching almost any type of skin tone, earning it the moniker of “chocolate diamond”.
Red and pink are the rarest shades of coloured diamonds available and are highly valued, especially for engagement rings. Symbolic of love and passion, naturally occuring red or pink coloured diamonds are very difficult to find and can cost up to several thousand.
Black diamonds, also known as carbonados, are naturally occurring diamonds that are prized for their otherworldly appearance. In fact, diamond research is currently undecided on how these black diamonds are formed, with some proposing that part of the material comes from outer space, giving these diamonds a mysterious and glamorous reputation.
