The 4C's: Color

Diamond color refers to the amount of color present in a diamond — or more precisely, the lack of color and the level of purity. In the 4Cs of diamonds (Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat), color grading is one of the most important factors in determining a diamond’s appearance and value. Traditionally, colorless or white diamonds are considered the most valuable due to their bright, clean sparkle.

The diamond industry follows the GIA D-Z Color Grading Scale, where D represents a completely colorless diamond and Z indicates noticeable yellow or brown tones. Most engagement rings and fine jewelry use diamonds within the D to J range for a brilliant, timeless look.

  • Choosing the right diamond color depends on your budget, the metal of your jewelry (white gold, yellow gold, or platinum), and personal preference. Whether you are buying an engagement ring, a lab-grown diamond, or a natural diamond, understanding diamond color grades can help you find the perfect balance between beauty and value.

How To Set Diamonds According To Their Color

When selecting a diamond, color is one of the most important factors that influences its beauty and value.But the right diamond setting can enhance or even mask certain color tones. Choosing a setting that complements your diamond’s hue ensures it sparkles at its best.

  • For Colorless Diamonds (D–F):Platinum or white gold, these bright, cool-toned metals emphasize the diamond’s pure whiteness and brilliance. A minimal prong setting will allow maximum light to enter, showcasing the stone’s natural sparkle.
  • For Near Colorless Diamonds (G–J):White gold for G–H, yellow or rose gold for I–J. Slight warmth in I–J grades can be beautifully balanced by warm-toned metals like yellow or rose gold, making the diamond appear whiter to the eye.
  • For Faint Color Diamonds (K–M):Yellow gold or rose gold, these warmer metals harmonize with the diamond’s natural tint, making the color less noticeable and creating a vintage-inspired charm.

Fancy Color Diamonds:Contrasting metals, fancy yellow diamonds pop in yellow gold, pink diamonds glow in rose gold, and blue diamonds stand out against platinum or white gold.

Bunny only offer pink and blue diamonds, why?

Most colored lab-grown diamonds on the market — like green or purple — are treated to change their color, which often makes them unstable. Over time, especially with sunlight or wear, the color may fade or shift.

We only offer blue and pink diamonds because they are color-stable, safe, and come with international IGI certification.
