Diamond Colour

Ironically, the best color for a diamond would be 'colourless'. The colors range from D (colourless) and go all the way to Z (light yellow). To be honest, the colour difference in diamonds within a colour family is quite subtle to an untrained eye. Nevertheless, they do create a difference in the price and quality of the diamond. Bottom line is, colourless diamonds are the most precious!

Diamond Clarity

When light passes through a diamond, it bounces back, making the diamond sparkle! Some diamonds have imperfections in the form of spots and blemishes. The more the imperfections, the more difficult it is for light to pass through, thereby reducing the sparkle. If you're lost, here's all you need to remember: Lesser imperfection and inclusions = Better clarity
