The most uncommon diamond in the world, as well as the most valuable diamond in the world, is the pink diamond. Approximately 1% of all diamonds are considered pink. The white diamond, for years, was considered the most attractive diamond in the world until the pink diamond became popular. Once the pink diamond caught fire around the world, it quickly became the world's most rare diamond. The colored diamonds have actually been around as long as the white diamond, but never caught on until the Argyle diamond was discovered. The Argyle diamond possessed an intense pink shade, which was on not comparable to other pink diamonds we've seen in the past. Therefore, bringing lots of interest and demand making it the most sought diamond in the world.

Pink diamonds come in varieties ranging from pastel-rose to purple-reds. The value of the diamond is generated by its intensity of color. These diamonds are polished in many varieties of cuts. The cuts range from oval, round, pear, and marquise. These diamonds are available in any standard size.

There are white diamonds with a secondary pink color that are produced from several mines. The price per carat is more expensive due to its flashes of pink within the stone and pink is the most uncommon color in diamonds.

A champagne diamond is naturally colored and comes in several different colors. Pink champagne diamonds with a secondary pink color have a higher price per carat than your standard champagne diamond.
