Most common color enhancing process is known as irradiation. Brown and yellow diamonds are transformed into fancy colored diamonds by controlled exposure to periods of radiation. The color change is permanent unless the diamond is subjected to extreme heat.

High Pressure High Temperature treatment (HPHT) is another common color changing process in the diamond industry. Through exposure to extreme pressure and heat, similar to a diamond’s natural environment, yellowish diamonds can become more desirable fancy colored diamonds. Today, this process is also used to turn brownish diamonds into more costly colorless diamonds. HPHT is also a permanent color enhancing process.

Color enhanced diamonds are inspected and labeled by the all reputable labs (EGL, IGI, GIA, etc). Colored diamonds enhanced by radiation or high pressure and temperature are just as beautiful as a natural fancy colored diamond and much more affordable.

Clarity enhanced diamonds are real, naturally mined diamonds from the ground, and are just as strong and reliable as a non-clarity enhanced diamond. The popularity of clarity enhanced diamonds has just begun, and is starting to become more mainstream. Therefore, the prices you receive for these are remarkably lower than a non clarity enhanced diamond with the same specs. However, the more mainstream clarity enhanced diamonds become over the years, the higher the cost will be. Therefore, not only will you be receiving the deal of a lifetime now, but consider it an investment for the future, when clarity enhanced diamonds will rise in cost! Don't wait any longer; purchase the same looking real natural diamond for a fraction of the price.

All clarity enhanced diamonds at Chris Yard Store should be worn and cared for like all other diamonds. The enhancement process is not completely irreversible, and can be reversed in boiling acids, ammonia, and open flames like a jewelers torch (rule of thumb is temperatures over 1500 degrees). Ultra sonic, steam cleaning and non-ammonia liquid jewelry cleaners are safe means for cleaning your clarity enhanced diamonds and jewelry. If your clarity enhanced diamond jewelry should need repair, merely inform the jeweler that your diamond is clarity enhanced and the jeweler should take the necessary minor precautions.
