| Jeweler on Consignment | May be able to fetch a good price by reaching a targeted audience of consumers. | The jeweler likely will not specialize in fancy colored diamonds and may undervalue your good. Lengthy process. Fees involved. Many jewelers will struggle to sell such an expensive diamond. |

What makes violet diamonds so unique is their rare color. Though violet diamonds may be somewhat similar in appearance to purple or blue diamonds, they are distinguished from purple and blue diamonds by the manner in which they form. While purple diamonds are the result of a deformation in the diamond’s structure and blue diamonds are the result of the presence of boron within, violet diamonds stem from trace amounts of hydrogen in the diamond’s crystal lattice structure.
Violet diamonds often exhibit a noticeable gray or blue hue. If your violet diamond exhibits a secondary hue, it may be given a slightly different label. For example, if your violet diamond exhibits hues of gray, it could be labelled a:
“Grayish violet” diamond – exhibits some gray color but is primarily violet (ie. 25% gray and 75% violet)
“Gray violet” diamond – exhibits more gray color but is still mostly violet (ie. 40% gray and 60% violet)
When describing a violet diamond, the first adjective (in the above examples grayish or gray) is called the modifier and violet is called the primary color. It is very common for violet diamonds to appear with modifying colors. The more pure your violet diamond color, the more valuable your violet diamond is.

| Attribute | Effect on Price |
| Color | Color has the greatest effect on your violet diamond’s value. The more intense the color of your diamond, the more it is worth. |
| Cut | A diamond’s cut can alter the way a diamond reflects light, maximizing a diamond’s color intensity and making it more visually appealing. A good cut will increase the worth of your violet diamond. |
| Clarity | Diamonds are graded based on their clarity, or how flawless they are. The more inclusions (flaws within the diamond) and blemishes (flaws on the surface of the diamond), the lower the diamond’s value. The more flawless your violet diamond, the more prized it is. |
| Carat Weight | The greater the carat weight of your diamond, the more it will be worth on the market. As carat weight increases, price-per-carat increases dramatically. |
| Market Conditions | While violet diamonds are always valuable, certain market conditions will affect their worth. If your type of diamond is in demand on the market at the time of sale, it will fetch a high price. |
