Diamond Color Explained: A Simple Jewelry Guide

Diamond color means how white or colourless a diamond looks.
Less colour = better shine and higher value.

Diamond Color Scale (Simple)

Diamonds are graded from D to Z.

  • D–F → Colourless (best quality, expensive)

  • G–I → Near colourless (looks white, good value)

  • J–K → Slight yellow tint (budget-friendly)

  • L–Z → Yellow colour visible (lower quality)

Does Diamond Color Affect Sparkle?

Gold Type & Diamond Color
