When is a "Pink Diamond" not 'Pink'?

All is not what it seems (allegedly) .... along with the many bizarre named synthetic gems (which we have to admit SOME are brilliant), the public are now faced with a new phenomena - coated diamonds - these are natural or lower quality man-made diamonds which have been specially coated in ["diamond" (sic)] the colour required (ie Pink, Blue, Red, etc).
But what is the problem? Natural (mined) Pink and Blue diamonds are much more expensive than their white counterparts - in the region of $100,000 to $250,000 per carat. If the subject diamond is 'coated' in the colour, surely the real value is almost the same as its donor diamond, after-all it is simply a coating? OK it may be a "diamond" coating but not through and through - just on the surface.
Our natural colour diamonds are not interfered with in any way, canary yellow is bright yellow and the 'Blues' range between Aqua and Sapphire.

Is it British??

Some things in life are not what they seem. If one was searching for 'Memorial Diamonds' in either Yahoo, Bing or Google, no-doubt one would come up with a page of names (companies) - some very similar, but who are the genuine Brit's and who are the foreigners pretending to be British. For example, we are known as 'Memorial-Diamonds.com' yet it is a fact that 'Memorialdiamonds.co.uk' are most definitely NOT us or remotely connected, for 1. they are ripping off our name, for 2. we are actually the only UK one of five 'MD' manufacturers in the world.
So, who would you be dealing with in reality? Russia?, America?, Europe? and if you were sending ashes, where would they be being processed - if processed at all!!!!
What guarantee would anyone have that a 'MD' is actually made using any 'cremains' at all - for man-made diamonds are very cheap, it would be very tempting to simply supply a good (or bad!) quality yellow diamond NOT made of ashes or hair. We as a true British/UK company guarantee we use ashes and hair to make your memorial diamonds.
