It&#8217;s extremely white (<strong>exceptional white +<\/strong>), and very rare, which also makes it almost impossible to locate. I love D color, but these premium diamonds will certainly cost you a hefty sum indeed. If you have <strong>money to burn<\/strong>, buy them.<\/p>\n<p><h2>E &#8211; F color<\/h2>\n<p>\nE and F color is <strong>just as excellent<\/strong> and being more affordable and easier to find makes them the perfect diamond color to purchase!<\/p>\n<p>\nE and F color is <strong>a high demand color<\/strong>. Everyone wants them. <\/p>\n<p>\nE color is considered <strong>exceptional white<\/strong> as well, and looks very bright and very white (<strong>E is my favorite diamond color<\/strong> there is). F is one small step down and considered <strong>rare white<\/strong>. Still as awesome as E, but much more affordable. Take a look at the GIA color grading chart below:<\/p>\n<p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/GIA-Diamond-Color-Chart.gif\" alt=\"GIA Diamond Color Chart\" title=\"GIA Diamond Color Chart\" width=\"502\" height=\"99\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4474\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\nWhen you&#8217;re dealing with pure white stones, you&#8217;ll find that it&#8217;s <strong>very difficult to tell the differences between them<\/strong>. I mean you are comparing <strong>white diamonds to white diamonds<\/strong>. They all look <strong>white<\/strong>. Most people can&#8217;t see any differences in them at all. And even most jewelers actually need a <strong>colorimeter<\/strong> (device for measuring color), or a <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2MrlbLB\">color grading master set<\/a> to truly spot any differences. D,E,F color diamonds are stunning, white and very bright. <strong>They will take your breath away.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><h2>Compare colors:<\/h2>\n<p>\nWhen I sell diamonds <strong>I always push color<\/strong> (or <strong>no color<\/strong>), because color is the one thing that most people <strong>can see<\/strong> with their naked eye. You can look at near colorless (the next color range down; G, H, I and J) and put them side by side with colorless diamonds (D, E and F) and <strong>you will see a difference.<\/strong> You can see off-white or yellow diamonds up against white diamonds. The colorless diamonds will look like they have a <strong>spotlight <\/strong>on them. <strong>They&#8217;re that bright.<\/strong> You will probably never look at near-colorless diamonds the same way again.<\/p>\n<p>\nColorless diamonds are magnificent and <strong>worth every single penny<\/strong>. I love talking about them, I love showing them. I love to see people&#8217;s faces light up when they see them. That&#8217;s why I say, <strong>don&#8217;t hesitate<\/strong> when it comes to buying colorless. <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jamesallen.com\/loose-diamonds\/round-cut\/?CaratFrom=1&#038;CaratTo=30&#038;Color=F,E,D&#038;Clarity=SI1,VS2,VS1,VVS2,VVS1,IF,FL&#038;Cut=Ideal,Excellent,TrueHearts&#038;PriceFrom=200&#038;PriceTo=&#038;ViewsOptions=Images&#038;advancedParameter=CaratSliderBottom&#038;showAdvanced=show&#038;Shape=round&#038;Polish=EX,ID&#038;Symmetry=EX,ID&#038;Lab=&#038;Flour=None,Negligible&#038;DepthFrom=45&#038;DepthTo=80&#038;TableFrom=40&#038;TableTo=83?a_aid=JSDG\">D, E or F is the color to buy.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\nNo matter what the clarity of the diamond is that you&#8217;re buying (<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jamesallen.com\/loose-diamonds\/round-cut\/?CaratFrom=1&#038;CaratTo=30&#038;Color=F,E,D&#038;Clarity=SI1,VS2,VS1&#038;Cut=Ideal,Excellent,TrueHearts&#038;PriceFrom=200&#038;PriceTo=&#038;ViewsOptions=Images&#038;advancedParameter=CaratSliderBottom&#038;showAdvanced=show&#038;Shape=round&#038;Polish=EX,ID&#038;Symmetry=EX,ID&#038;Lab=&#038;Flour=None,Negligible&#038;DepthFrom=45&#038;DepthTo=80&#038;TableFrom=40&#038;TableTo=83?a_aid=JSDG\">I suggest VS or SI clarity<\/a>), you should always strive to buy colorless. That combination of clarity and color will make for an exceptional diamond quality that has tons of<strong> brilliance, sparkle and fire.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><h2>Certification:<\/h2>\n<p>\nOne thing that I will strongly advise here is <strong>certification<\/strong>. When dealing with top of the line diamonds, it&#8217;s extremely important to make sure you buy a certified diamond (preferably <strong>GIA certified<\/strong>&#8230; a.ka. GIA diamond report). Being certified guarantees that the colorless diamond that you bought, truly is <strong>colorless<\/strong>. It will say so right on the report.<\/p>\n<p>\nSo in a heartbeat, <strong>buy colorless diamonds.<\/strong> No color is the best color to buy. E and F is unbelievably beautiful. You <strong>must <\/strong>view them. Scope them. Put them side by side with an H or I (most common colors on the market), <strong>see the difference for yourself.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><h2>It&#8217;ll knock your socks off!<\/h2>\n<p>\nMost people&#8217;s reaction when they see the color difference is a <strong>jaw-dropping &#8220;WOW!&#8221;<\/strong> (and that&#8217;s a big WOW!) They are blown away. Most don&#8217;t believe there can be that much of a visual difference in diamonds until they see it with their own eyes.<\/p>\n<p>\nIt&#8217;s not like clarity, where you&#8217;re dealing with <strong>microscopic inclusions<\/strong> that you can&#8217;t see with the bare eye&#8230; Trust me, you can see if a diamond is brown, yellow or white. You will see the difference in color. Or, in this case, <strong>no color.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nCheck them out. <strong>You&#8217;ll be very impressed.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nBuy them. <strong>You&#8217;ll be happy you did.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jamesallen.com\/loose-diamonds\/round-cut\/?CaratFrom=1&#038;CaratTo=30&#038;Color=F,E,D&#038;Clarity=SI1,VS2,VS1&#038;Cut=Ideal,Excellent,TrueHearts&#038;PriceFrom=200&#038;PriceTo=&#038;ViewsOptions=Images&#038;advancedParameter=CaratSliderBottom&#038;showAdvanced=show&#038;Shape=round&#038;Polish=EX,ID&#038;Symmetry=EX,ID&#038;Lab=&#038;Flour=None,Negligible&#038;DepthFrom=45&#038;DepthTo=80&#038;TableFrom=40&#038;TableTo=83?a_aid=JSDG\">View VS-SI1, excellent cut, GIA certified, pure white diamonds HERE!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Cheers! :)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>If you look at the GIA diamond color chart (pictured below), and you look to the very top of that list, you&#8217;ll see that there is one color group leading the pack&#8230; The best color <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/diamond-color-e-f-colorless-diamonds\/\" title=\"DIAMOND COLOR E-F &#8211; COLORLESS DIAMONDS?\">[Read More&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4473,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,6,29,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4472","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-certification","category-color","category-diamond-guide","category-diamonds"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4472"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4472"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4472\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4473"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4472"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4472"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4472"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
