What's the best color for diamonds?
In fact, there is no standard. Among Cape series diamonds, the most colorless and transparent diamond is the rarest and most precious, and it is also the brightest and the best visual effect after cutting. However, some people like yellow and champagne diamonds, and naturally feel that yellow is good. So judging by personal preference, it's hard to say which color of diamond is the best. However, the color of diamonds is represented by the English letter D-N. D-class diamonds, which are colorless diamonds, are extremely rare and are the best colors.
When identifying the color of diamonds, the identified diamonds are compared with a set of international standard colorimetric stones, and the colors of the standard colorimetric stones are arranged from colorless D (the highest grade) to yellow Z in turn. ..
Diamond color grading standard
There are diamond rings in various colors. In order to distinguish the fineness of each diamond ring, there are 23 international standards, from D color to Z color.
D grade: the highest grade in diamonds, pure and colorless, flawless, the rarest existence in diamonds, with strong rarity.
E-class: high-quality diamonds, colorless. Ordinary people can't see color from them. Only a few jewelry experts can distinguish colors.
F-grade: a high-quality diamond slightly lower than E-grade. Unless you are a jewelry expert, it is difficult to detect its color.
G~H grade: although it is close to colorless, compared with colorless high-quality diamonds, there is a slight yellowish layer inside.
Grade I ~J: It is still close to colorless, but it is slightly yellow inside, which is valuable.
K~M grade: most people can see the color clearly, and its own color is slightly dim, with low grade and poor fire color and luster.
How to choose diamond color grade
In the choice of diamond color scale, H color is a critical point, and the color above H color is considered as colorless diamond, while the diamond below H color will have a little color sense under naked eye observation. However, the choice of diamond color grade is related to diamond size. The grade of diamond color is divided by the degree of diamond color concentration. For the same diamond grade, the bigger the carat weight, the yellower the diamond looks, so some big diamonds are better than H grade.
For example, diamonds with more than two carats should have a color grade of more than H, diamonds between two carats and one carat can have H, diamonds with a score of 30 can consider I, and yellow is basically invisible to the naked eye.
The price of diamond will be much lower than pure white diamond, which can be said to be the most cost-effective diamond. The price-performance ratio of diamonds is not only affected by the color grade of diamonds, but also by other parameters such as diamond weight, diamond clarity and diamond cutting. Generally speaking, choose the cleanliness grade of VVS (below vvs 2 1 carat), the best cut is 3EX, the color is H-J, and the weight is as required. It should be noted that most people are interested in bigger diamonds, but big diamonds are not necessarily good diamonds, and other 3C factors must be considered when choosing diamonds.
If it is a collection, you can consider D and E levels. If you wear it everyday, you can choose J~G K~M, so it is not recommended for you to choose. It's of little value.
In fact, the color of a diamond depends entirely on personal preference. In addition, to judge the quality of a diamond, besides the color, we should also pay attention to the clarity, carat weight and cutting.
