Color: The Color grades are ranked on a scale from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow). Color grades are determined by comparing each diamond to a master set. We recommend choosing a color D through H, or D through I if the stone goes in a yellow gold setting. Below is the color scale with the most desired, colorless stones first:

• Colorless : D-F
• Near Colorless : G-J
• Faint Yellow : K-M
• Very Light Yellow : N-R
• Light Yellow : S-Z
