Diamond Color Information & Key Points for Engagement Rings

The first priority when picking a diamond is the cut since this is what influences how your ring sparkles. The second most important part when considering purchasing a diamond engagement ring is its color.

A diamonds color usually manifests itself as a pale yellow so this is why color is based on the diamonds lack of color. The less color that a diamond has, the higher grade it will be. The color grade of a diamond ranges from D (colorless) to Z (noticeable color). D is the highest possible color grade, while Z is the lowest.  At Boston Ring and Gem we adhere to the defined d to z scale of GIA/AGS laboratories.

The diamond color chart can be confusing and overwhelming and we at Boston Ring & Gem are happy to walk you through the process. We know that buying an engagement is a huge expense and lasting commitment. You will be informed and educated on all the things to consider when investing in the perfect diamond.
