Commitment For the above diamond shapes in a yellow or rose gold setting, it’s alright to go down to the J to K range without the diamond appearing overly yellow in relation to its setting. Diamond grading entities view diamonds under special conditions, such as controlled lighting, to establish the level of color present. Those on the high end of the scale exhibit no noticeable tint or hue, even under intense magnification or precise viewing conditions. Instead, a better approach is to buy a diamond with the lowest color grade that will still appear colorless in relation to its setting. We’ve listed our recommendations for this below, with options for a variety of diamond shapes and setting types. For Round Diamonds For round diamonds, spending extra for an E color diamond just isn’t necessary. The round cut does a great job of concealing a diamond’s color, meaning diamonds of lower color grades look virtually identical to those in the D, E and F range.

For buying any diamond, it’s important to shop with a reputable vendor, one you can be confident is not going to rip you off by convincing you to overpay for a poor-quality diamond.

Context

As a consumer, your goal when assessing diamond color should be to find a diamond that appears colorless under normal viewing conditions. An H color diamond, for example, may have a very faint yellow tint when viewed by a professional in a lab. But to the naked eye, it will almost always appear beautiful and devoid of any color. The Diamond Color Scale

If you’ve previously read our full guide to diamond color, you’ll probably be aware that we don’t recommend overpaying for a diamond with an unnecessarily high color grade. As we’ve covered before, whenever you save money on one feature of a diamond, such as its color, you increase the amount that you’re able to spend on a more important feature, such as the diamond cut quality or its carat weight.The ERC will ensure transparency in communication about its activities and results to the scientific community and the general public and maintain updated data from funded projects. As we mentioned above, E color diamonds are slightly less expensive than D color diamonds, with the D and E color diamonds we used for our visual comparison differing in price by only about three percent.

Access/Accuracy

If you’re absolutely set on buying a diamond that’s as close to colorless as possible, buying an E color diamond (or even a D color diamond) will definitely get you a highly white, transparent diamond. While E color diamonds can look extremely colorless and beautiful, the differences between an E color diamond and a diamond with a G or H color grade are almost impossible to identify with the naked eye and generally aren’t worth the extra money. Despite this, there’s quite a significant difference in price between E color diamonds and those in lower color grades.

This is even more important if you’re in the market for an E color diamond, as the price difference, coupled with a negligible difference to the naked eye, means it’s easy to be duped into paying an E diamond price for a diamond that’s really several grades lower. These are both much more visible quality factors for a diamond than its color. Instead of paying for an E color grade, dropping down to a G or H color grade (or, for some settings, even an I or J color grade) can result in you buying a more appealing diamond for the same price.
