• The Types of diamond classification system
  divides stones according to their chemical and
  physical properties. Gemologists can determine
  the atomic composition to analyze its growth,
  color, and, more importantly, whether it has been
  treated or synthetically altered. Many think of
  diamonds as a whole when the word is spoken, but
  diamonds can be categorized very differently
  depending on their makeup. Below is a list of
  what you expect when talking about the different
  types.

1. Natural Diamonds

• When people think of natural diamonds, they
  usually think of the basic clear/white type of
  diamond when in reality, it is a bit more
  complicated than that. Every natural diamond is
  unique just like a snowflake, no two are alike.
  A diamond is a mineral created by nature composed
  mostly of carbon making them the hardest
  naturally occurring substance on Earth. Natural
  diamonds form under rare conditions of extreme
  heat and pressure inside the Earth that causes
  the carbon atoms to crystalize.

2. Lab-Grown Diamonds

• The popularity of lab-grown diamonds, also known
  as manufactured diamonds, has increased over the
  last few years. It is a technology product, just
  like other gadgets. A laboratory-grown diamond is
  a manufactured product that shares natural
  diamonds' chemical and optical properties but
  whose origin differs greatly. These diamonds have
  become more affordable to produce as technology
  has improved. Lab-grown diamonds are produced in
  factories in approximately 2-3 weeks. Although
  lab-grown diamonds cost 30 more than regular
  diamonds, they are now 50-60 less expensive,
  and some predict that they will be even cheaper
  in coming years.

3. Treated Diamonds

• These diamonds were mined in the same way as
  regular diamonds, but their characteristics were
  artificially altered or manipulated to make them
  look better. For example, inclusion filling is a
  technique that "hides" or enhances color. These
  treatments are often done to diamonds that are
  not available for sale and are significantly less
  expensive than natural untreated diamonds.

4. Natural Fancy Color Diamonds

• Last but not least are the beautiful colored
  diamonds. The number of colored diamonds is much
  lower than regular diamonds, with only about
  1-10,000. However, as celebrities began to wear
  them, the awareness and demand for colored
  diamonds grew. There are many dazzling colors in
  diamonds. These diamonds are rare and costly and
  can be divided into three subsets Natural
  colored diamonds (treated diamonds), Lab-grown
  colored diamonds (natural colored diamonds),
  Lab-grown colored diamonds. Black diamonds being
  the most well-known for color but also very rare.
