This is the big decision. Fancy colored diamonds

called chameleon diamonds, can even change color
based on light and temperature! Which color to

You can pick your favorite color, the color that
represents your personality, or the color that
most flatters your skin tone. There are so many
different variations in the color, especially
when you add in the secondary hues that many
colored diamonds have, that even one blue
diamond may be very different from another blue
diamond. So just get the general color down
now, but keep your vision as to what it will look
like open.

Learn the GIA rating scale. While colorless
diamonds are graded on a D-Z scale (D having no
traces of color, and Z having significant light
yellowish or brownish coloring), fancy colored
diamonds are graded on another scale entirely.
The GIAs scale has nine levels.

Learn the diamond clarity scale. The GIA's
clarity scale is the same for colored diamonds
as it is for colorless diamonds, although it
often doesnt play as large a factor in price
when it comes to colored diamonds, partially
because the imperfections are harder to see, and
partially because the color is considered the
primary value.
