The natural world of plant-life, mineral-rocks and animals might tell some important stories --- if we could just understand their language. For instance, the red dragon fruit might communicate with the Red Dragon FPR Diamond as both are naturally-grown natives from down-under in Australia.

Diamonds Have Their Own Language

and a true diamond aficionado will also tell you that diamonds communicate with humans too. More than once, a bride-to-be has said, “that’s the one! It speaks to me,” when finding the diamond after looking at several.

If any diamond can speak to collectors, it might be the scarce crimson ones. At one time, a red diamond was considered the rarest color in the world. The life-stirring vitality and smoldering desire emanating from red diamonds is palpable to those privileged enough to see this rarity.

Does Red Speak to You?

And no wonder people are universally drawn to the magnetism of red. This vibrant color speaks a language most of us welcome. It is said that red is the language of power, passion, and warmth.

Many of the finest stones produced at the legendary now-closed Argyle mine have a purple modifying color, but they seldom display purple as its main hue. Pure purple diamonds are an extreme rarity. The purple shade is more often a modifying color in stones emerging from South Africa too.

Yet, some of these alluring rarities have been found in Canada’s Diavik and Victor diamond mines. Most of them exhibit a pink modifying color like our 2.01 carat FP-P. The purple shade radiates with a subtle cool elegance that collector’s crave.

The Regal Language of Purple

The color purple is both bold and equally elegant. It’s historically associated with royalty, sovereignty, nobility, luxury and creativity. Britain’s beloved and longest reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II adored purple in all its lovely variations.

Her Majesty had a great flair for dressing as befitting a monarch. She was an expert at implementing the powerful language of color. The Queen often wore any number of variations of purple, lavender, and violet—all producing a powerful regal statement.

Notes of Violet

The violet tint is next-of-kin to a straight purple. In the diamond world, it’s nearly impossible to find a pure violet diamond. Those that have been found were often from the Argyle mine--- and most of those were modified with gray.

Natural colors and natural fragrances share a similar dilemma to genuine and synthetic diamonds.

No Substitute for Nature

Here’s my point, by way of an example. Producing just 1 liter of Bulgarian rose oil requires 3-5 tons of fresh rose petals of the Rosa Damascena variety. Pure Bulgarian rose oil called The Rose Otto (or attar of roses) is one of the most costly essential oils in the world. Its price can be compared to gold – with the natural rose oil selling at $7,500 US per liter.

Pure Bulgarian rose oil called The Rose Otto

This precious oil is absolutely critical for making certain luxury perfumes and cosmetics. No substitute performs like the real thing.

Then there is the synthetic version. A synthetic Bulgarian Rose oil has also been created. This one is petroleum based. But because it is synthetic, it lacks the desirable anti-aging, and anti-inflammatory properties of the real oil. It costs about $50 US a liter.

At first glance the synthetic one smells similar, actually nearly the same. But after that first superficial whiff, it lacks the complexity of aroma, and the medicinal benefits of the authentic natural rose oil.

Listening to the Language of Nature

We can extrapolate similarities between the world of natural color stones and the world of flavors and fragrances. There are simply no shortcuts to success in these areas. Natural will always dominate over the best synthetic.

It’s impossible to accurately reproduce a real G_D created natural product using synthetic lab-made ingredients. Even if they look or smell identical at first glance, at the end of the day, their short term benefits fail one by one. Then one is left with a disappointing bitter aftertaste.

Our loyalty will always be with the real thing, and we believe you feel the same way.
