Color
The color of the diamond
The perfect diamondhas no tint,asa drop of pure water.
The evaluation of the color of diamonds is, in fact, based on "the absence of color".

The purer a diamond, the higher it has a value; the more colorful it is, the more significant the impact on its value.

The diamond industry uses a color scale to classify diamonds, ranging from color D to color Z, ie from "exceptional white " to "light yellow".
  • D: Exceptional white
  • E: Exceptional white
  • F: Extra white
  • G: Extra white
  • H: White
  • I to L: Shaded white
  • M to Z: Tinted
There is no color A, B or C.

This gradation system consists of measuring the degree of colorlessness by examining a stone under controlled lighting.

The differences in color are so subtle that they are invisible to the uninformed eye.
The diamonds offered by Maison GUIMEL do not descend under the color H, except at your request.
