The Rob Red Diamond assumes its name from the name of its owner Mr. Robert Bogel. It is the most important red diamond in the world. What makes this diminutive diamond so important? Answer to this question lies in the observation of Mr. Stephen Hofer, the renowned gemologist and colored stone specialist about this gemstone.

“The Rob Red Diamond is the most saturated and purest red diamond measured visually & instrumentally to date in the world,” says Stephen Hofer, the renowned gemologist, color scientist, and author of the book Collecting and Classifying Fancy Color Diamonds. Hofer further opines that the 0.59-carat pear-shape Rob Red diamond merits the color grade of Fancy Intense Red, surpassing the saturation & purity red in the famed Hancock Red Diamond.

Fancy Red diamonds are unanimously regarded as the rarest diamonds on Earth. Diamonds displaying other colors like champagne and yellow are relatively more plentiful in nature and also available in larger sizes. But red diamonds occur in pretty small sizes. Akin to other color diamonds, fancy red diamonds rarely occur in a pure color. More often than not, they show secondary hues like Orangish, Purplish & Brownish.

These days, red diamonds are mostly quarried in Kimberley [located in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa] and more consistently from Argyle Mines in Western Australia. Then again, their incidence is less than 0.1 % of all rough diamonds mined from such sources.
Red diamonds are type IIa diamonds, devoid of Nitrogen impurities. Type IIa diamonds are characterized by flawlessly formed crystals. They are completely colorless and graded as the top D-color diamonds. A tiny percentage of these quality diamonds undergo a distortion in their crystal structure during their formative eons. Extraordinarily extreme temperature and pressure conditions in the womb of mother earth create this deformation. The warped zones impart valuable colors like purple, pink and red to the diamonds. As light passes through the irregular lattice it bends and bathes the diamond in a ruby like red color.
