The colors of diamonds
for an engagement ring:
The color grading of a Diamond is one
of few elements that affects its price.
The Color Grading scale of Diamonds starts from D to Z
(D E F G .... etc) and is used to identify the amount of
color in each diamond.
(The letters A, B & C are not in use at the color
grading scale).
The exact color is determined by a professional
gemologist such as our gemologists at Rothem Collection
that have years of color grading experience, day by day.
The most colorless color grading
of an engagement ring is
determined by the "D" letter,
while the most colorful grading is determined by the "Z"
letter.
At the basics, "D" color which is the
most colorless grading for engagement
rings,
gives the diamond the most high value, while "Z" grading
gives the diamond the most lowest value, but not always:
Sometimes "Fancy" color diamonds
which are very rare like fancy yellow, Fancy blue etc..
are more expensive for diamond rings
than the D color since their color is
so intense what gives them an extremely high price such
as the "D" color and even more.
Usually people are looking to buy
diamonds graded between G color to J color
for their own diamond rings.
G, H, I & J colors, are considerable as White color
which is nearly colorless
that still looks very white to the naked eye, and their
price is significantly
much lower than the most colorless "D" color.
For a certain budget
of solitaire rings, as low as you
go further on the color grading scale
(towards Z), The diamond's value goes down so you can
afford your self a better clarity or a bigger carat
weight diamond and vice versa.
