Green Diamonds : Rare and Coveted Elegance
If you ask a jeweler how many times green diamonds have crossed the path of his store, chances are he can barely count them on the fingers of one hand ! Mined colored diamonds are extremely rare in nature and sell for exorbitant prices. However, the arrival of laboratory diamonds is revolutionizing the market, offering stones with rare and sometimes unique hues, obtained through sophisticated processes of controlled color alteration. Among these exceptional colors, green stands out for its exquisite, bewitching nuances. But what makes these diamonds so desirable ?
The Symbolism of Green
Green embodies fertility, vitality and hope. A symbol of spring and new beginnings, this hue is ideal for an engagement ring diamond. It's a color that invites rebirth and prosperity, values cherished by lovers looking for a meaningful piece of jewelry.
A Color that Stands Out
Opting for a stone of a rare color means choosing to stand out and express your unique personality. For those for whom green has a special resonance, it's an opportunity to symbolize that special significance within their relationship.
The Myth of the Dresden Green
The most famous natural green diamond, the Dresden Green, weighs 40.70 carats. It is the largest green diamond ever discovered. Named after the Saxon capital where it was displayed for over 200 years, this legendary stone was mined in India before reaching England in the early 18th century.

Stars and the Green
Green diamonds also appeal to celebrities. One of the most memorable, a yellowish-green diamond adorning a ring, was given to Jennifer Lopez by Ben Affleck at the time, capturing the attention of fans and media alike. This rare, radiant hue had found an ambassador of choice.
The Ethics of Cultured Diamonds
Laboratory-grown diamonds not only offer an environmentally-friendly alternative, but also bypass the neo-colonial issues associated with foreign mining companies in mineral-rich countries. With these ethical stones, you can wear unique jewelry, whether rings, necklaces or earrings, while guaranteeing impeccable traceability.
