Understanding Diamond colour...

Let us go through each of the 4Cs in more depth now --

The GIA grades diamonds on a scale of D (colorless) through Z (light color). All D-Z diamonds are considered white, even though they contain varying degrees of color. True fancy colored diamonds (such as yellows, pinks, and blues) are graded on a separate color scale.


Diamond colour has a huge bearing on diamond prices. This link should help you understand how the prices vary based on colour. Let us take the example of 1 carat diamond.

All other factors being equal, 1 carat D VVS1 Excellent cut GIA is priced at Rs.7,80,000 whereas a 1 carat I colour VVS1 Excellent cut GIA is priced at Rs.3,30,000.
