​​Color diamonds, often referred to as fancy color diamonds, are gemstones that exhibit vibrant hues beyond the traditional colorless range. These diamonds derive their colors from chemical impurities, structural anomalies, or exposure to natural elements during formation.​​​

Natural pink diamonds are amongst the rarest and most coveted color diamonds. There are numerous hues associated with pink diamonds, including fancy pink, fancy orangy pink and fancy deep pinkish brown. Their unique coloration, their association with love and romance, and their scarcity, make them one of the most sought-after diamond colors.

Natural pink diamonds ​are​more expensive than colorless diamonds or other more accessible colors such as brown diamonds. The pricing of a diamond takes into account four crucial factors, commonly known as the 4C's: Color, Clarity, Cut, and Carats. The intensity and purity of the diamond's hue (Color), its ​transparency/flawlessness​​​ (Clarity), the precision of its cut (Cut), and its weight measured in carats (Carats) all play pivotal roles in determining its value. 

Yes, our natural pink diamonds are real diamonds. When a diamond is labeled as “natural,” it indicates that no treatment has altered its color. Pink diamonds stand out as unique because, unlike other color diamonds, they lack trace elements. Instead, their pink hue results from distinctive qualities and distortions in the diamond’s crystal lattice, shaped by intense heat and pressure after the stone's formation.

​​There are several hues associated with pink diamonds​. The ​Gemological Institute of America's (GIA)​​.​classifies colors based on their intensity such as ​Deep Pink, Fancy Pink, Vivid Pink, and Intense Pink. ​​​Among our inventory, you’ll see a broad range of pink diamonds that includes all these variations.​​​​Furthermore, you will see ​that pink diamonds commonly have a ​secondary modifying color ​that can be ​purple, orange, yellow, or brown​. At Langerman we name the colors with natural terms that will help the visualization. Some of our pinks include ​baby pink, raspberry, and burgundy. These modifiers ​contribute ​​to ​the nuances of our range of pink diamonds. These variations not only evoke sentiments of love and romance but also allow for a personalized choice that resonates with the unique personality of the diamond's recipient.
