In this video, you will see a comparison of the 2 best colors on the GIA grading chart; a D color diamond ring versus an E color diamond ring.
Many people often get too caught up about wanting the best color because they are afraid they can see color in their diamond rings. In reality, the differences between one color grade of D vs E are very small.
So, watch the video a couple of times and see if you can see any differences between the engagement rings. I've also included several lighting conditions to let you see how it looks like under the sun, under a cloudy sky and in a shopping mall.
At the end of the video, I want you to let me know if you can see any yellow tints in the E diamond and whether you see a vastly different appearance in color between these 2 rings.
My personal advice for readers is to place the emphasis on cut quality instead of worrying about things you eyes may not readily observe like color or clarity.
Do you think the D is visually better than the E in terms of color? Which would you prefer and would buy if you are given a choice?
