Color is graded on a scale of D to Z, D being colorless, Z being the darkest shade of light yellow attributed to the scale. The closer to D on the scale, the more valuable the diamond.
Clarity is rated between Flawless (FL) / Internally Flawless (IF) all the way to three levels of Imperfect I1, I2, and I3. Flawless it the most prized.
Pink diamonds are becoming popular in the current market, where yellow diamonds or clear diamonds were once prized.

∙ 8y agoDiamonds are graded based on the 4 C's: color, clarity carat weight and cut. The Gemological Institute of America (G.I.A.) grades color alphabetically from D (totally colorless) to Z (yellow). For a diamond to be considered colorless, the G.I.A. requires that it be a D, E, or F, so in terms of color D would be the best. The grading for clarity ranges from flawless, internally flawless, VVS1'2 and very very slightly included, VS1'2 very slightly included and SI1, SI2 slightly included. Clarity measures how clean a diamond is from inclusions, so the best clarity is FL.
