Is a D grade better than an F? Uncover the secrets of diamond colour when you’re creating your dream ring

What is diamond color?

 

Diamond color refers to the presence or absence of color in a diamond. While diamonds are commonly thought of as transparent and colorless, most diamonds actually have slight traces of color.

Diamonds in the D-F range are considered colorless and are highly valued for their pure, white appearance. As you move down the scale, the presence of yellow or brown tints becomes more noticeable. However, it’s important to note that beyond the Z range, diamonds with intense or vivid colors are classified as “fancy colored diamonds” and are evaluated using a separate color grading system.

What is fancy diamonds?

 

Fancy diamonds, also known as colored diamonds, are diamonds that exhibit vibrant and intense hues beyond the traditional colorless or white diamonds. While most diamonds are prized for their lack of color, fancy diamonds are celebrated for their rich and rare colors, which range from soft pastels to deep, vivid shades. It’s worth mentioning that some colored diamonds, such as pink, blue, or green, are extremely rare and highly sought after for their vibrant and unique hues. These fancy colored diamonds are evaluated on a different scale, primarily focusing on the intensity, hue, and distribution of color within the stone.

 

How to choose your diamond color?

 

When selecting a diamond, the choice of color is subjective and can depend on personal preferences, budget, and the desired aesthetic. While colorless diamonds are often considered the most desirable and valuable, diamonds with slight color can still be beautiful and offer excellent value, especially when other factors such as cut, clarity, and carat weight are taken into account.

Ultimately, understanding diamond color and its grading scale allows consumers to make informed decisions when purchasing diamonds, ensuring they find the perfect balance between their desired appearance and budget.
