Tactl and T&ftaciet about jea&tly-By Jay C, Hansen FALLACY: The addition of color makes a diamond more valuable. FACT: It depends on how the color gets there. Natural colored diamonds can be rare and valuable. Modem methods of bombardment have also been used to enhance a color tone. This color is within the structure of the diamond and increases its value and beauty. But beware of painted diamonds . merely coated with color. CONCLUSION: Never gamble on the purchase of a diamond.
