Diamond color is an important factor when buying your diamond. But one must understand that overspending wont give you the results you want. There comes a point that going above a certain grade of color gives the slightest advantage that mostly isnt visible to the human eye once mounted. Money is better spent insuring the cut and shape are ideal and carat size.
HOW TO PICK THE BEST DIAMOND USING THE DIAMOND COLOR SCALE
Some stones hide color better than others. Let me explain-Diamond color starts from the bottom up. If you look at a round stone, the tip(which is pointing downward once mounted} is were the color originates. Once you look at a diamond from the top the color is barely noticeable. Please see example below. With that said, round hides color very well opposite to the emerald. The Emerald diamond is flat and clear. Hiding color is much more difficult since the bottom and top are so close in proximity. My Advice for choosing the best color depending what stone you choose. Round: H-J Color Grades. Princess, Emerald, Asscher: G-I Color Grades.Other Diamond Shapes: F-H Color Grades.
Choose a color in relation to your engagement ring setting. if you are choosing Platinum or white gold, then its best you stick with the G-J color scale. If your diamond is on a yellow gold setting, it doesn't make a lot of sense to go white if the reflections of light off the gold ring will give it a yellow tone. Best you stick with the J-M. If Rose gold you can choose J-K and also save money.
Especially relevant, a Diamond color under M is not recommended. In the illustration below you will see samples of color. HOWEVER, when the diamond is facing up that color is harder to see. Consequently, this is why I love that H-J color. Again see my Color guide for tips best colors depending on what diamond shape you are buying. See this example of a J Color Diamond mounted below.
