Natural diamonds in the white color scale are graded from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow). The white color range is known as G-H grade. The question of whether what you are looking at is real or not should be considered regarding the material rather than the color, as natural diamonds come in very many colors, usually white. Check if the diamond is man made, cubic zircon, Russian simulate or something similar. Clarity enhanced diamonds are also real, natural diamonds.

Diamonds are valued by how closely they approach colorlessness - the less color, the higher the value. Most diamonds found in jewelry stores run from colorless to near-colorless with slight hints of yellow or brown. The only exceptions are the fancy color diamonds that lie outside of this range.

Many of these color distinctions are so subtle that they are invisible to the untrained eye. But these slight color differences make a very big difference in diamond quality and price.

PS - The diamonds described above are actually not white but colorless. There are truly white diamonds they are very rare. The best are opalescent and quite beautiful.

How to tell if a diamond is real?

Supposedly the only way to distinguish the best manufactured white diamond from a real diamond is the fake diamonds are flawless, and no real diamond can be truly flawless. I always wondered about this though, because how hard would it be to add flaws to a fake diamond to make it appear real? So my opinon is there is no way to tell the difference between a real diamond and a fake diamond.
