Beauty is in the "I" of the Beholder
When it comes to diamond shopping we all know one of the most important of the 4 C's is undoubtedly COLOR. A diamond is graded base on the absence of color. As we all know, color saturation gradually increases with each letter grade starting at D being colorless all the way down to Z. Rare diamonds are found in the colorless range of D, E, and F however a lot of value can be found by opting for a diamond in the Near Colorless range. Specifically we want to focus on I color diamonds since we find these offer amazing value when diamond shopping!  As with many other diamond values, there are ranges within each grade so some "I" colors will look much better than others which is where we come into play: providing you with real life visuals so you can make an educated decision.  Watch this close up video as a guide and read along below for a more in depth look on why we think I color diamonds make an amazing choice for you. Continue reading
