FANCY INTENSE PINK
Ever since its emergence on the earth’s surface centuries ago, diamond has been regarded as one of nature’s most wondrous gifts. In addition to beauty, diamond possesses gemmological characteristics that distinguish it in a world rich in striking and unusual gemstones. For example, its structure of strongly bonded carbon atoms makes it the hardest substance known to mankind. Because of this quality, the gems are often cherished as emblems of eternity, and regularly adorn engagement rings as marks of love and devotion.

The Gemmological Institute of America (GIA) has had released a research years ago, stating the rareness of the very little 0.5% of pink diamond could be rated as Fancy Intense Pink in pink diamond. To create a stone of Fancy Intense Pink, it requires a highly contradictive criterion of combination.
By reflecting and refracting the surrounding panorama of light to the viewer’s eye, the 8 carats Fancy Intense Pink diamond shows amazing brilliance and fire in a mosaic and artistic composition, full of vibrancy and vitality.
