Anand Internationa Kurla, Mumbai, Maharashtra

Purples and pinks are some of our most asked- for colors but they are the most difficult to achieve. When we color enhance a thousand carats of the blues, greens, yellows and oranges we only achieve perhaps 2-3 carats of pinks and purples. Very few diamonds have the latent ability to turn pink or purple when irradiated or enhanced using HPHT, and even then most of them come in the more purplish shades which are less desirable and worth less than pinks. Pinks & Purples come in a range of shades having undertones of red, orange & brown. These undertones are not desirable and are at best avoided. The scarce availability of Rose Pinks makes them more expensive than the Purples.

Anand international offers a wide selection of Fancy Yellow, Canary Yellow, Golden Yellow and Lemon Yellow Diamonds. Yellow diamonds can come with undertones of green, brown or orange. None of these are particularly desirable; our aim is to create a diamond of the purest yellow possible. In order to do this, we use both the irradiation and HPHT processes. Because the HPHT process is quite difficult to carry out, our HPHT yellow diamonds are on the more expensive side of our price range. Also, black inclusions can easily be seen in a yellow diamond thereby these inclusions should be avoided.
