A diamond that is categorised by a single word, generally a colour (black, white, brown, blue, pink, green, yellow, purple and red) is categorised as being very very rare. The diamonds that are usually found are almost colourless which is what makes these diamonds of such striking colour so sought after.
These diamonds with varied colours of different intensities often fetch record bids, as opposed to colourless diamonds which follow the rules of the market. There exists no price chart on the international market for coloured diamonds. Prices can vary from one sale to another. Determining the price or the value of a coloured diamond is a speciality in itself. The most rare and expensive diamond variety is undoubtedly the pure red diamond, which is often tainted by purple or brown.
