In the early days of color diamonds were not named as they are now. During the past few days colored diamonds were named after the location specific location of each. This led to much confusion as there are many places where diamonds are extracted specific color.
A near Diamond Colorless to be called "Golconda" since most of the diamonds found in this mining area in India is colorless. Others pointed to other colorless diamonds as "river". This was due to the stones of the riverbed, near colorless recovery are most times. Outside India, the mine Jagerfonstein in South Africa also produces diamonds with a bloom of blue color and diamonds were called 'shooters'.
Dimaonds with a yellow it is assumed that from the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa and therefore were called as "threshold", according to this system. However, the product from Cape of Good Hope, had variations ranging from a light tone to dark yellow and these were differentiated with names like silver layer upper layer of light, silver layer, layer dark or simple, single layer.
It is quite obvious from the description of how the historical naming convention was not perfect and allowed several of misunderstanding and miscommunication. When a specific term of diamonds, as Jager is used, nobody could be sure about the level of the diamond blue dye Colorless may have.
A single location or source of diamonds diamonds do not always produce exactly the same color and quality. There are differences that can occur in the same batch of diamonds. Therefore, even when you're talking about a yellow diamond as the top layer of silver, chances are that the quality of diamonds can vary. This is also very evident when studying the characteristics of diamonds that has been produced by the Premier mine. Although most diamonds come from yellow This mine has strong blue fluorescence, the same mine has produced famous colored diamonds such as pink Cullinan and Premier. World's largest diamond facets, yellow-brown Golden Jubilee also comes from the same mines.
Even when a colored diamond of a place is classified by the specific color there is potential for communication failures. Therefore, interpretations of the Golconda diamonds color may be different based on past experience that the jeweler may have had with diamonds from the mine.
Descriptive as the blue-white, GEM-white, pink, red and blue-green can also be misleading because there is no guarantee or explanation of the amount of each specific color. The blue-white label has been misused, the maximum and has been used to describe diamonds colorless and yellow diamonds. In fact, the high incidence of abuse of this name led to the Federal Trade Commission USA to make a statement regarding the bad the floor and attempted to use it in fraud cases. The "brown up" is another name that has caused great confusion on this naming system. This is mainly used to refer to small diamonds to Indian manufacturers. These diamonds are almost white when studded but have a slight brown color when viewed from the table.
With all the disadvantages of the old style of names, it was used for a good amount of time. But with the best technology and systematization of color grading system has been developed. The modern system does not depend on subjective interpretations of words and colors as the 'Canaries', 'river' or 'purple'. This new classification system also takes into account different levels of color narrow and therefore every nuance delta is classified.
The aspect of this system is the fact that leaves no ambiguity in the minds of the people involved in the trade about what concerns when a classification nomenclature used to define the color of the diamond. The F color diamond has the same meaning for everyone, regardless of their past associations, the country and subjective interpretation.
