Frequently Asked Questions

Is an I quality diamond a good diamond?

Yes, an I quality diamond is considered a good diamond, particularly for those seeking a balance between quality and cost. I color diamonds fall into the “near-colorless” category on the GIA color scale. While they may exhibit a slight yellow or brown tint when viewed up close or compared directly to higher color grades, they generally appear nearly colorless to the naked eye. When set in jewelry, especially in yellow or rose gold, the color tint is often not noticeable, making I quality diamonds an excellent value for those looking for a beautiful stone at a more affordable price.

What is the I rating of a diamond?

The I rating of a diamond refers to its position on the GIA color scale, which ranges from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow or brown). I color diamonds are in the “near-colorless” category, meaning they have a slight tint that is usually not noticeable to the naked eye. This slight color is more visible when the diamond is viewed from the side or compared directly to diamonds with higher color grades (D-H). Despite this, I color diamonds are a popular choice for those who want a high-quality diamond without paying the premium for a colorless grade.

Is I diamond colorless?

No, an I diamond is not considered colorless. It falls within the “near-colorless” range on the GIA color scale. While it does have a slight yellow or brown tint, this is generally subtle and not easily noticeable, especially when the diamond is viewed face-up or set in jewelry. The near-colorless appearance makes I color diamonds a desirable option for many buyers who want a visually appealing diamond without the higher cost associated with completely colorless stones.
