Reading A Diamond Color Chart Can Help Determine The Value Of These Precious Stones

By Carl Prescot


Diamonds are one of the most coveted precious stones available on the market today. People that avidly purchase these stones are aware of how to gauge them, according to the 4 C's. In fact, most individuals even realize that some of the most expensive stones are those that have no colors, whatsoever. A diamond color chart, can help jewelers and buyers determine the value of a stone.

People that are not within the jewelry business, do not realize that diamonds are available in multiple colors. Two of the most common colors these stones come in are yellow and white. But, blue, green, black, as well as pink colored stones, exist naturally.

The colors of diamonds split, similarly to prisms. The spectrum of colors, enables an individual to see flashes of light within the stone, these flashes are what are known as the firing section of the stones. The stones that show the most fire, are those that are colorless.

Stones that appear like they shoot more beams of light out of them, will cost more money. These stones, are usually the colorless stones. If you want diamonds that gleam, then you will need to have enough money to purchase these types of stones.

Most jewelers will utilize charts for diamonds that either come from the AGS or the GIA. Both of these styles of charts will provide grades for diamonds, based on their colors. The colors range from colorless to yellowish, brown colored stones. AGS grades the stones by numbers, while GIA will grade the stones by letters.

Using a diamond color chart can help you determine if you can afford to purchase a specific colored diamond. Be aware, that sometimes the colors of diamonds can change, due to outside sources. For example, some diamonds colors can be altered from the sun, while others are altered, based on a specific band that an individual decides to adorn with it.
