Diamond color enhancing firm Briza, recently unveiled their latest creation – pine colored diamonds – in Ramat Gan, Israel. The company enhances the color of natural diamonds using an electronic beam and high temperatures.

Briza enhance the color of a diamond, but to do so the diamond has to have specific color properties – the minerals that affect the diamonds color – in it to start with. “We are accelerating the natural process,” said Briza’s Lior and Shai Barak.

“If the diamond wasn’t mined, and the conditions, such as temperature, were right, in a few million years these colors would have appeared in the diamonds,” they said.

The company uses their technique to create 14 different colors including blue, green, yellow, gold, and black.

These fancy color diamonds are marked in EGL certificates as color enhanced. To further underline the process, the company inscribes the color hue names on the girdle.
