Find out the visual differences between a D vs H vs I color diamond engagement ring. In this video, we line up the diamonds side by side and critically examine them under various environments.

Doing so would enable you to see exactly what they look like in real life. In the process, you will get answers for yourself whether a H or I color diamond is too yellow to your tastes or whether they are virtually identical to each other.

Watch the video in full and let me know whether you can see any differences between the diamonds or do they all appear white to you?

If you can't see differences, that's perfectly normal as the GIA diamond color scale is very subtle between the grades. Most people can't see any yellow tints or hue in the face up view when they do a live test.

I hope this video helped.
