DIAMOND COLOR

Color is one of the most vital attributes you need to consider when buying a diamond. The color of a diamond is graded on the scale of D to Z according to the widely used GIA color scale. ‘D’ represents the highest grading and this is the most colorless diamond. White / colorless diamonds are widely considered the most desirable, and thus this is the most expensive grading. On the other end of the spectrum we have ‘Z’, which is used to grade the diamond that is most yellow in its appearance. Below we have grouped the color grades to give you a better understanding:

D, E & F

When it comes to these three diamonds, the untrained eye will typically find it impossible to tell the difference between them. If you set one of these diamonds in yellow gold, it will counteract the colorless effect, so make sure you go for platinum or white gold.

K, L & M

Now we get to the point where a hint of yellow color is somewhat easier to spot with the naked eye. Some people do feel that these diamonds have a bit too much color, yet they do represent great value, which is the main reason for purchasing them.

S, T, U, V, W X, Y & Z

Most people feel that all of these grades show too much color for a white diamond, and thus they are not sought after.
