Yes! They are absolutely real diamonds and come certified from the most respected grading laboratories in the world, such as GIA.
At Kyllonen, we only sell 100% geniune untreated Fancy Color Diamonds. You can find this information on a GIA certificate, which specifies our diamonds as natural even color. I would be very difficult to trust a retailer claiming to sell fancy color diamonds and not provide a reputable certificate such as GIA or AGS.
Not if it receives a Fancy Grade from GIA. Most diamonds on the market today are called white diamonds, but are actually transparent in color. These diamonds are graded on a scale of D-Z based on their lack of color. D color diamond means it is colorless, which is extremely rare and valuable. Z color diamond, on the other hand, is a diamond that has a noticeable tinge of yellow. When yellow in the diamond goes beyond the Z range, there are now fancy color diamonds. This is because they have reached a level in color which is rare and is no longer a tinge, but a noticeable color. If you want to checkout D-Z color scale with examples, click here.
