Colored gemstones

When one mentions the color of diamonds, most people imagine that all diamonds are white. It will surprise many that diamonds are available in all colors. The most common diamonds are white with shades of either brown, yellow or gray.

Color scale

The international scale is divided alphabetically from D to Z.

It is not possible to give a serious and accurate assessment of the color of a diamond when it is already sitting in a piece of jewelry. The assessment of the color must always be made before the diamond is included in the jewelry. When assessing, the diamond must be analyzed from the back, which makes it easier to distinguish between the color differences. The connection between the international and Scandinavian system is illustrated in the table next to it.
