The fascinating colors of diamonds

Live Online Talk

BY REGISTRATION ONLY — This online conversation will be broadcast live from L’ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts in Paris.

Long sought after for their hardness before being appreciated for their brilliance, it is now also by their color that diamonds turn heads around the world.

For several years natural colored diamonds have seen a growth in popularity amongst connoisseurs, in particular blue and pink diamonds, the most popular among them. But what is at the origin of their color? Can it be measured, quantified and appraised? Is rarity the only aspect to explain the infatuation they evoke? As numerous are the mysteries surrounding these gems, during this talk we will attempt to unlock some of their secrets together.
