What are F Color Diamonds?

All diamonds are graded for color. The color scale for diamonds starts at D, the colorless diamond with highest possible grade. It then continues till Z, a strongly tanned diamond with the lowest possible grade.

Within this scale, different grades are grouped together. For instance, D, E and F diamonds are all part of the “colorless” range of the scale, while G, H, I and J color diamonds are categorized as “near-colorless” diamond color grades. 

Although marketers and salespeople often stress the importance of buying a diamond that has flawless color, the reality is that there’s very little visible difference between the D, E and F color grades. 

In most cases, only an expert gemologist can tell the difference between two different diamonds in these grades, usually with the help of bright laboratory lighting and strong magnification from a jeweler’s loupe. 

To the naked eye and under magnification, an F colored diamond will appear almost completely colorless. Diamonds with this color grade look colorless in any metal, including white metals like platinum and white gold.

Just like with the other quality factors that make up the four Cs, the excellent color of an F color diamond comes at a price. Although F color diamonds are usually less expensive than D and E color diamonds, they’re quite a lot more expensive than G, H, I  and J color diamonds.
