Seven Facts About Irradiated Diamonds
- Irradiated diamonds are not lab created, they are natural and real diamonds.
- Although irradiated diamonds have color, they still have the same refractive index, because they are natural diamonds.
- Irradiated diamonds come in blue, green, canary yellow, or even pink as well as many other colors.
- Because this process is permanent, the G.I.A. will grade and certify irradiated diamonds and can also laser inscribe the diamond to notify any potential buyer that the diamond has been irradiated.
- All diamonds have been exposed to natural radiation over the millennia before man unearthed them, so technically all diamonds have been “irradiated”.
- Irradiated Diamonds are treated only for the color that means that the overall clarity and or imperfections of irradiated diamonds won’t change with this process. However, the imperfections will likely remain hidden than if they were they to remain colorless.
- If re-exposed to extreme heat such as during a repair which includes boiling, the color can change. Because of this, the treatment is not 100% guaranteed to keep its new color, however the diamond will never lose its overall coloration and become near colorless again.
