Refers to the degree to which a diamond is colorless.
Diamonds are found in almost every color of the rainbow, but classic “white-colored” diamonds remain most popular.
Diamonds are graded on a color scale with ranges from D (colorless) to Z. Warmer colored diamonds (K–Z) are particularly desirable when set in yellow gold. Icy winter whites (D–J) look stunning set in white gold or platinum.
Color differences are very subtle and it is very difficult to see the difference between, for example, an E and an F. Therefore, colors are graded under controlled lighting conditions and are compared to a master set for accuracy.
Truly colorless stones, graded D and treasured for their rarity, are highest on the Diamond Quality Pyramid. Ask us to show you a variety of color grades next to one another to help you determine your color preference.
Nature has also created diamonds in intense shades of blue, green, yellow, orange, pink or – rarest of all – red. These diamonds are called ‘colored fancies’ and are extremely rare and highly treasured.
