You can read from the chart, below, and learn where G and H fall in the diamond colour range.



A "G H" colored diamond means that it is in the near-colorless range on the color scale. The diamond color scale was developed by GIA (the Gemological Institute of America) in the mid 1900s. Before GIA developed this scale, there was no universal way of grading diamonds, so diamond grades ended up being widely varied and confusing. The diamond scale starts at "D", meaning that it is completely colorless, and extends to "Z" meaning that the diamond is extremely saturated with color (can be either yellow or brown--the hue doesn't matter). Diamonds in this color and beyond are considered to be "fancy" colors based on colour saturation.

Face up, the general population won't be able to tell the difference between a "G" and "H" colored diamond. In a setting, they will look white, unless you put the diamond in a yellow gold setting; in this case, the yellow hue from the ring will be reflected into the diamond, causing the diamond to seem tinted yellow.

Most people stick in the "G H" color range because you can get more "bang for your buck."

Is a diamond with VS clarity and G color more expensive than one with the same clarity but of H color?

Yes, if the cut of the two stones is the same. The whole purpose of the color alphabet is to identify the intensity of the color.AnswerNot necessarily - while a higher color is usually more expensive, if the lower color grade diamond is cut to much better standards, then it can be more expensive but of lesser color. Cut is very important as it controls the brilliance. When a diamond cutter has to cut a piece of rough, they have to balance the final carat weight with how beautiful they want to make it. Example, compare the cost of a regular round brilliant versus a hearts and arrows cut round brilliant. The hearts and arrows will be noticeably more brilliant, but also more expensive.


Is a color h good for a diamond?

Diamonds are colour graded face down so that the dispersion (fire) of the diamond doesn't interfere. Most people's eyes will not detect any yellow in the colour of a diamond until the H colour, and even then only face down. Face up, it will still look white. So, yes it's a good colour.
