Beautiful, Rich Colors of Diamonds - Part Two

Natural diamonds can be color enhanced by one of two well known methods.   In “Part One” of Beautiful, Rich Colors of Diamonds, we addressed one of the types of permanent diamond enhancement – radiation.  In this post we are addressing the second type of enhancement – HTHP.   HTHP stands for High Temperature High Pressure.  It is a type of treatment that first came about in late 1990s - early 2000.  It’s almost like returning the diamond back to the environment from which it started - in heat and under pressure millions of years ago.

HTHP treatment takes a natural diamond that is of poor color quality, removes the undesirable color (usually brown) and turns it into a beautiful vivid yellow, yellow-green, green, and very occasionally a pink brown or blue color. 

So, why buy HTHP enhanced diamonds?  Primarily cost.  Keep in mind that the HTHP process is permanent and it is undetectable without highly technical equipment, so your friends will never know.  But you get the cost savings when you create your beautiful and colorful creation full of colorful diamonds.  Why not complement a top quality center diamond or color gemstone with vibrant HTHP enhanced diamonds and be the envy of all your friends?  Only you, your jewelry and your bank account will know. We promise not to tell.
