Origin
Select between natural and lab-grown diamonds to align your search with your unique preferences, sentimental values, ethical views, and financial constraints.
Shape
Selection Importance: The shape of a diamond significantly impacts its overall appearance and is one of the first characteristics to consider. Different shapes can accentuate various aspects of the diamond and the wearer’s style.
Guidance: Reflect on the personal style and preference of the recipient. Consider how each shape complements the intended setting and wearer’s hand. Round shapes are timeless and maximize brilliance, while fancy shapes like oval or marquise offer a unique look.
Cut
Premium (but underpriced!):
Matches Premium quality but priced as standard ideal cuts, without the typical 20% premium. Ideal for buyers wanting luxury diamonds at more attainable prices.
Premium / Hearts & Arrows:
Top 1% in quality, these diamonds are set at premium prices to match their unparalleled standards, perfect for those seeking utmost diamond excellence and exclusivity.
Carat
Selection Importance: Carat weight measures a diamond’s apparent size and contributes to its overall value.
Guidance: Determine the preferred balance between size and quality within your budget. Higher carat weight typically increases price, but combining it with lower grades in other areas can maximize value. Remember, cut quality can make a diamond appear larger.
Price
Prioritization: Determine which diamond characteristics are most important to you—size, clarity, color, or cut—and allocate your budget accordingly. Not all features hold equal importance to every buyer.
Financial Planning: Set a clear and firm budget before starting your search. Understand that the goal is to find the best diamond that aligns with both your financial limits and aesthetic preferences.
•Balancing Act: Compromise on certain characteristics if needed to ensure you stay within your budget. For instance, if size is a priority, you might consider diamonds with a lower clarity or color that still look beautiful to the naked eye.
Value Optimization: Aim to maximize the value within your budget by balancing the four Cs in a way that meets your specific desires and expectations.
Color
Selection Importance: Diamond color refers to the absence of color, with grades ranging from colorless to yellowish. Color can affect the diamond’s appearance and price.
Guidance: Choose a color grade that appears white in relation to its setting. Consider higher color grades (D-F) for larger diamonds or settings in white gold or platinum. Lower color grades (G-I) can offer better value and still appear colorless to the untrained eye.
Clarity
Selection Importance: Clarity assesses a diamond’s internal and external imperfections, known as inclusions and blemishes.
Guidance: Choose a clarity grade that appears “eye-clean” (typically VS2 or higher for most diamond sizes). Consider how inclusions affect the appearance and decide what is acceptable for your needs and budget. Higher clarity diamonds are more pristine but often come at a higher cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are colorless diamonds expensive?
Yes, colorless diamonds are generally more expensive than diamonds with noticeable color. This is because colorless diamonds, graded D, E, and F on the GIA color scale, are rare and highly sought after for their pure, clear appearance. The lack of any color tint increases their value and desirability, making them a premium choice for those seeking the highest quality diamonds.
Which diamonds are colorless?
Colorless diamonds are those graded D, E, and F on the GIA color scale:
- D Color: Absolutely colorless, the highest color grade, and extremely rare.
- E Color: Very rare and almost completely colorless, with only minute traces of color detectable by an expert gemologist.
- F Color: Still considered colorless, with slight color that is difficult to detect unless compared side-by-side with higher color grade diamonds.
These grades ensure that the diamonds exhibit no visible color, resulting in a bright and brilliant appearance.
Do colorless diamonds sparkle more?
Colorless diamonds do not inherently sparkle more than diamonds with slight color. The sparkle, or brilliance, of a diamond is primarily determined by its cut. A well-cut diamond, regardless of its color grade, will exhibit exceptional brilliance and fire. However, the absence of color in D, E, and F grade diamonds allows for maximum light reflection and refraction, which can enhance the perception of sparkle.
Do colorless diamonds look blue?
Colorless diamonds themselves do not look blue. However, some colorless diamonds can exhibit a phenomenon called “fluorescence” when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light, such as sunlight or black light. This fluorescence can sometimes give the diamond a bluish glow. The intensity of this blue fluorescence varies from diamond to diamond and is noted in the diamond’s grading report. In most lighting conditions, this fluorescence is not noticeable, and the diamond will appear bright and clear.
Why are colorless diamonds more valuable?
Colorless diamonds are more valuable due to their rarity and exceptional appearance. Here are the key reasons why:
- Rarity: True colorless diamonds, graded D, E, and F on the GIA color scale, are extremely rare. The scarcity of these diamonds makes them highly sought after and drives up their value.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Colorless diamonds are prized for their pure, clear appearance. They lack any noticeable color tint, which enhances their brilliance and sparkle. This pristine look is often preferred by buyers seeking the highest quality.
- Light Performance: The absence of color allows colorless diamonds to reflect and refract light more effectively, enhancing their brilliance and fire. This superior light performance adds to their visual appeal and value.
- Market Demand: The combination of rarity and exceptional beauty creates a strong market demand for colorless diamonds. Collectors and buyers are willing to pay a premium for diamonds that exhibit the highest level of colorlessness.
- Symbolism and Status: Owning a colorless diamond is often seen as a symbol of prestige and status. The perceived exclusivity and superior quality of these diamonds contribute to their higher value in the market.
These factors combined make colorless diamonds more valuable compared to diamonds with noticeable color tints.
