Colour

The second factor that contributes to a diamond's sparkle is colour. Diamond colour refers to the hue of a diamond. This can range from colourless (D) to a light yellow hue (Z). 

You will often hear the words colourless, and near colourless mentioned when talking about diamond colour. 

Colourless: This refers to diamonds that are rated a D, E or F according to the GIA Diamond Colour Scale. 

Although a D-colour diamond is the only truly colourless diamond, an E or F- colour rated diamond only contains a very minute trace of colour, emitting a high level of brilliance.

Near Colorless: This refers to diamonds that are rated G, H, I, or J. 

Diamonds that are rated G or H in colour are a great value because they only contain noticeable colour when compared to diamonds coloured F and above. 

I and J coloured diamonds have a slightly detectable colour; however, most of our guests still cannot detect colour.
