H color diamonds reside within the near colorless category on the GIA grading scale. The biggest question that consumers want to know is whether they are too yellow for an engagement ring.
In this video, we examine a H color diamond engagement ring under various lightings. This replicates different real life environments and situations you will find yourself in.
While a near colorless labeling may sound like the diamond has noticeable color, it isn't so in real life. When a H color diamond ring is seen individually without any point of reference and not against other diamond colors, it is almost impossible to see any hint of hue in the stone.
When the stone is cut for sparkle and performance as in the example above, the brilliance and sparkle makes it even harder for the eyes to see color.
When it boils down to it, your preferences are all that matters. Will you be happy with a H color diamond or is it too yellow for your liking? Leave a comment below to let me know!
