Buying Strategy for Color
Always conduct a side-by-side comparison viewing before making your final selection.
If a colorless diamond is preferred and your budget is tight, then try to seek out value options that are possible in the Clarity category. Sometimes, a mounted, exceptional SI clarity diamond with slight inclusions off to the side can be as beautiful as a VS diamond. Such an exceptional SI clarity diamond will offer the purchaser significant savings. Never compromise the cut quality of the diamond to pursue a slightly higher body color; this will result in an inferior looking diamond with a poorer resultant color.
