Colour
Although many diamonds appear colourless, most contain subtle tones of yellow or brown. Thus diamonds can be graded on a colour scale ranging from D, colourless and rare, through to Z.
In general the more colourless a diamond the more valuable it is however, diamonds of other intense colours, such as pink, blue and red are also considered very valuable and command high prices due to their extreme rarity. These unusual or intensely coloured diamonds are sometimes referred to as ‘coloured fancy diamonds’.
