Is color jk in diamonds a good diamond?

'Good' is a judgment, and you are the judge. A 'white' diamond in the J-K colour range has value. For example, today at Blue Nile you can compare two 2.03/4 carat diamonds, both J colour, the more expensive (US$13,286) being Internally Flawless and Cushion cut, and the less expensive (US$7,542) being VS-2 clarity and Emerald cut. The monetary value is in the clarity, not in the colour or the cut of the diamonds.


Is GH VS a good quality diamond?

Good is a judgement and you are the judge. Your initials G-H could indicate colour, with D being the highest grade of colour for a white diamond; the initials VS are usually followed by a number, such as 1 or 2 and indicates Very Slight inclusion(s), visible under a 10x loupe. Depending on the carat weight and the quality of the cut and the cut, this diamond could retain its investment value as a jewelery-quality diamond.

Is an F-G diamond good?

'Good' is a judgement and you are the judge. The colour ranking of a white diamond of F-G is a step or two below 'colourless'. This means that the inclusion of nitrogen, which gives diamond a yellow cast, is minimal. A step or two above this rating means that the inclusion of nitrogen is non-existent. To the non-gemologist, to the naked eye, this colour ranking is imperceptible.

Are diamonds a smart investment?

Your answer depends completely on your investment priorities. The highest quality diamonds -- clearest, best example of colour, or high carat weight -- don't lose value, unless you are forced to sell them under distress. Diamonds are not 'liquid' in the sense that it is not easy -- generally -- to convert them into cash. Diamond markets fluctuate, so it may take some time for the value of your diamond to appreciate over time -- perhaps one entire lifetime. You are the judge of 'smart' in your own investment priorities, and you may or may not choose to invest in diamonds.
