Diamond Color
The
diamond color grading
scale varies from
totally colorless to light yellow.
The differences between
one diamond color grade and another are very subtle and
difficult to distinguish.
D-F :
Colorless: perfect or almost
perfect color.
G-J :
Near colorless: good to very good color, and this diamond
may "face up" colorless when mounted, especially in white
gold or platinum.
K-M :
Light but noticeable yellow or
brown tint. Not recommended for larger diamond stone
purchases, especially in engagement rings.
Out of the 4 C's, color and cut
are the two most important characteristics of a diamond. Do
not compromise on color. An "H" color or better is usually
best.
