origins of color


Look up into a clear, cloudless blue sky and wonder, “What makes it blue?” Look quickly there after a fresh summer rain and see the incredible rainbow. What makes such a dazzling display of color? How do my eyes work and what makes me see? Vision and color, such wonderful miracles in life both depend on what many believe is the primary origin of all life....pure light.

It is the existence of light that brings form from void, sight from non-sight, working in magical ways on molecules of air-borne water that brings forth the rainbow. And it is pure light reaching the internal essence of a color diamond that brings forth the full spectrum of nature's palette to entice and envelop our sight. One time blue, one time yellow, or brown, or olive or….the possibilities are endless in hue, combination, intensity, saturation. But there is more at work here than pure light and the world of natural color 

diamonds reveals its complexities, subtleties and mystique.
