Comment: Often requested, often postponed: "Natural Colored Diamonds" at WildFish, the key-words being 'natural' and 'colored'. We will stay away from the white diamond-scam of last century. We will not touch treated or artificially colored gems but offer only naturally colored, and of course untreated, diamonds. Therefore, fear not fracture filling, laser drills, surface coating, KM lasering, or various heat treatments in combination with the one thousand and one color enhancement technics, irradiation, annealing, or graphite deposits, nor.... and here goes my breath, with the list getting longer by the week. With us, as always, every gem is nothing but a gem, 100% as found in the rough, cut and polished but not manipulated for color or clarity, less transformed from worthless pebble to 'precious gem'. It comes with a respected and qualified third party lab report, guaranteeing you and your ancestor's claim on quality and reliability. We start our new section with this glorious orange, so-called "pumpkin-diamond", a deep orange hue, small but sparkly, close to 4x3mm and 32 points, a still respected size in colored diamonds, big enough for a slender ladies' ring. All WildFish rules and privileges, from WLT land-purchase to return-policies, all remain the same. Cutting standards are higher for diamonds than for colored gemstones, no surprise but needs mentioning. This 0.32 would get a 'very good' cut grade in a sapphire or ruby, yet IGI grades this cutting as only 'good'. The same goes for clarity, our 'lens clean' = free of inclusions under 10x fold lens is sub-divided into IF-S, but all that is eye-clean in colored gems, nothing to see. You can judge yourself from our show-all-images.
P.S. We use official "color description" of the diamond trade where useful but mark them with "..."
