If you are wondering how white an E color diamond is or whether a K color diamond is too yellow for your engagement ring, this video shows you exactly how they look like in real life.

We perform a comparison of an E colorless, H near colorless and a K faint yellow diamond ring in various types of lighting conditions. These diamonds are all graded by reliable GIA and AGS gemological laboratories.

Under normal shopping mall and home LED lighting, we examine the diamonds for their hue and body tint. Next, we bring the rings to the outdoors and look at them under the sun and also in a shaded outdoor environment. The sparkle and brilliance on these diamond rings are simply mind blowing and I want you to scrutinize them for color.

Let me know if you can easily see the difference in color grades or whether they all look identical to you. Leave a comment!

Is a H colour diamond good enough? Do you need an E grade? Or are you perfectly OK with a K color rating? If the differences are minute, would you be willing to buy the more expensive E color or the cheaper K color diamond ring?

$Diamond Ring Testing - How to Tell If a Diamond is Real For a complete write up on how to correctly identify a diamond, go to https://beyond4cs.com/faq/how-to-spot-a-fake-diamond/ In this video, I purchased a cheap diamond tester online from eBay and used in on an existing real diamond ring that I had purchased for my wife. The diamond tester works on the principle of thermal conductivity (because diamonds are SUPERB conductors of heat due to their compact covalent structure). The diamond tester has a light meter which lights up depending on how much heat is transmitted away from the tip after it gets into contact with the surface of the diamond. Do take note that the diamond tester has to be used properly and angled properly to the diamond for a proper contact or you will get misleading results from the test. If a real diamond is detected, the light bar lights up to the DIA level to indicate a real diamond and a beeping sound will be heard from the equipment. In order to differentiate between a real vs fake diamond, this affordable tester can to correctly identify real stones vs fake gemstones with the exception of a few gemstones like moissanite. For the case of moissanite, you will need to use a diamond tester that has an electrical conductivity test or manually use a 10X loupe and check the gemstone for refractive doubling. Higher end diamond testers like those from the Presidium brand will have such functions in place to differentiate between a real diamond and a fake diamond like moissanite. https://beyond4cs.com/go/amazon-presidium/ If you want a simple diamond tester and have the physical knowledge to use a 10X loupe to identify a moissanite, you can use the testers here in conjunction with that knowledge: https://beyond4cs.com/go/amazon-diamond-tester/ https://beyond4cs.com/go/ebay-diamond-tester/ For a more professional level of testing to differentiate between diamonds and common gemstones, I recommend the Presidium gemstone tester: Ive also written a couple of other comprehensive guides to help you identify a diamond from other common simulants found in the marketplace. Check them out in the links below: https://beyond4cs.com/faq/how-to-spot-a-fake-diamond/identify-a-moissanite/ https://beyond4cs.com/faq/cubic-zirconia-vs-diamond/ As always, the best way to ensure you are getting what you paid for when buying a diamond ring is to shop at a reliable place and buy a diamond with a GIA or AGS certificate.$
