Diamond Color

Color is one of the key factors that defines the beauty and value of a diamond. Lab-created diamonds are no exception—they are graded for color using the same international standards applied to mined diamonds.

Understanding Diamond Color

Diamonds are graded on a scale established by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), ranging from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow or brown).

• D–F (Colorless): Pure, icy appearance with no noticeable color.

• G–J (Near Colorless): Slight warmth that is often invisible without comparison; offers excellent value.

• K–M (Faint Color): Noticeable tint, often chosen for vintage or warmer settings.

Lab-created diamonds most commonly fall within the D–J range, making them highly desirable for engagement rings and fine jewelry.

Why Color Matters

Diamond color affects how light interacts with the stone. Colorless diamonds allow the most brilliance and sparkle, while near-colorless stones offer nearly the same look at a more accessible price. The right choice often depends on personal preference and the type of jewelry setting you select.
