  1. Should You Opt for High Pressure, High Temperature Treated Diamonds? Treated stones do not necessarily equate to damaged or faulty stones. Most of the time treatments are done to increase the aesthetic appeal for customers and also to minimize inclusions or change color of the stone. There are various treatments available for diamonds, such as surface coating, irradiation, and High Pressure, High-Temperature treatments (HPHT); HPHT is the one which is usually used most commonly for diamond jewelry in Buffalo. Diamonds that have been surface coated or irradiated, pose the risk of the oxide film damage and lighting of the color after irradiation due to high temperatures. These types of treatments do not allow the stone to be recut or polished without damaging the surface coating or changing the color of the stone after irradiations. High Pressure, High-Temperature treatments (HPHT) HPHT is when the stones are undergoing high pressure and high temperature in a confined environment, similar to the conditions under which it was formed. Diamond frequently goes through this treatment to remove visible inclusions in the stones and also to change the color of the brown stone to colorless, making them more appealing and expensive to sell to potential customers for diamond engagement rings in Buffalo. Common changes that are visible after this treatment mean that brown diamond changes to a yellow one, an orange-yellow diamond will become more yellow-green. The treatments technically change and lighten the color. This is the only treatment for gemstones that permanently changes the stone color and requires no special handling for care and therefore, is a good option for custom engagement rings in Buffalo.
