Ep. 17 - Diamond Color Grades: Which is the Best "Color" for You?

Did you know when we're talking about the 'color grade' of a diamond, we're actually referring to the lack of color? Did you also know that the top grade a diamond can achieve is a 'D'? Did you further know it is really hard to distinguish colorless diamonds from near colorless diamonds? Do you know how hard it is to say 'colorless'? Haha, I kid but I really said it far more often then I should have this episode.

When we're talking about color grade, the GIA (Gemological Institute of America) uses this scale:

- Colorless (Grade D, E, F)
- Near Colorless (Grade G, H, I, J)
- Faint (Grade K, L, M)
- Very Light (Grade N, O, P, Q, R)
- Light (Grade S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z)

That's why my best recommendation is in the Near Colorless scale, because you can get the best bang for your buck and get her a dazzling diamond she will love.
