Colour
Diamond colour actually measures lack of colour!
Diamond colour is graded from D (colourless) to Z (tinted) using an international colour grading scale. The closer a diamond is to being colourless, the rarer and more valuable it is.
At EC One, our diamonds are G colour and above.
"Fancy coloured diamonds" have a strong, even colour such as yellow, pink, or blue. These are very rare and consequently very expensive. Natural brown diamonds, also called Cognac or Champagne diamonds, are increasing in popularity and are a stunning alternative to the classic white diamond. Trace elements in the stone give a diamond its color. For example, a blue diamond often has boron within its structure, and a fancy canary yellow color comes from nitrogen.
