very informational and an awesome presentation...excited to watch all other videos from your channel. Thank you.
Good question Remi. I've never seen them give descriptive results like that for yellow or gray before. It's interesting that it was on this brown one.
What a great video!!! I had never considered diamonds like these but they are magnificent. Love the way the European cut shines as well as the colors that emanate from them. Will be contacting you for more information. Thank you so very much!
I could never appreciate diamonds because they are too shiny and blinky for my taste but now I see that darker colors are much prettier to me ! Greys and Brown-Pinky -- beautiful. Still can't afford them. :)
Still learning from your video’s 8 years later. Thank you for such great informative information.
You're welcome. Glad they are still being put to good use!
really breathtaking jewels .
Thanks for all of the videos... Helped us pick our perfect diamond ;)
mzk123ify Most welcome.
Excellent video, very informative
Very informative thanks.
Beautiful!
Gorgeous yellow hue M color diamond will look stunning in yellow gold ! thanks for the video 👍
My pleasure 😊
Diamonds very beautyful !
Thanks for the information! grading is so subjective though in the market
Good info!
I appreciate all of your material. Perhaps one day one of my clients looking to wisely invest in true poetry will consent to an August Vintage.
As for myself my goal is for my wife to own a pair.
Keep it up!
Diamonds very beautyful, clours very nice much.
What a great video! Thanks for posting this. I've only started collecting gems within the last couple of years and I have to say I'm hooked. People (myself included) just don't understand the attaction to "shiny rocks", until you hold them in your hand, feel the weight and see how the light shines through a good cut. It wasn't until I bought a couple of 2 point white diamonds, VVS color H and held them under a light that I "got it". Seeing something that small throw off that much fire, color and sparkle was magical. But I digress, I have been wondering how colored diamonds varied in value and this video totally helped me understand it. Theres a big differance between a diamond being white with off-color tones and a diamond simply being a color other than white it would seem.

bravo bravo that was great awesome
Thank you. We're glad the video was helpful!
awesome education
Thank you kindly
Black diamond, like a black Pearl. :)
I actually like the brown one
Christina Colgan When the browns have that added rosy tint I think they're a little extra special. :)
Nice for live
Can you please tell me what camera are you using? Very sharp video!
thanks for the compliment. I don't discuss my setup online. :)
I have a question for you, I am having a custom pendant made and the diamonds are rows of the micro diamonds... i have a good price for SI 1 I color, they wanted to go with SI 1 H color, but of course its a bit more money. With the diamonds being so small is the difference in H and I color worth the extra money? Set in yellow gold.
I would think it would be very hard to tell a color difference when the diamonds are small, and especially so in yellow gold as opposed to white metal. As with any transparent stone, the smaller the stone, the less depth of color you see. How did it turn out?
I am just wearing my claddagh ring on the outside of me now soailtre has a lovely shine and it will look lovely on anyone who likes soailtre or something like brings a smile on your face you know in our lovely hearts what buts a lovely shine on you amazing
So informative. It's funny, but I think I actually prefer the brown or grey (other than the G, of course!). I guess it can depend on a persons opinion too haha
You're certainly not the first person to say this iceandfire. From time to time we'll even run across browns with pinkish undertones which are absolutely magnificent.

Good Old Gold Jonathan! You are an angel! Thank you for being such a lovely guy!
I wanted to ask through what site should I contact you: UA-cam or Good Old Gold's website? I would SO love to have your advice/opinions!
By the way, my name is Laura, so that might help identify any message I send, too. :)
SmittenKitten Hi Laura! I do get messages here but prefer you go to our site and click on the "Contact Us" page and the link that says "Diamond Questions". That'll link you to us here via email. :)
Good Old Gold Thanks so much, Jonathan. I'll do it right now!
Good Old Gold Okay, all sent. :)
Hi, You showed a White Diamond at the beginning next to the other Colored 3 , is that first white one considered more expensive than th Yellow,Brown and the Gray? what you call the body color of that first WhiteDiamond ? are you suggesting that when we buy a diamond we should ask what Body color it is ?
Greetings Gold. In answer to your questions ... yes the first diamond is the most valuable of the diamonds shown and is graded a "G" color on a scale that runs from D-Z. For more info on that you may want to see my tutorial here.
www.goodoldgold.com/diamond-color And yes ... I am suggesting you ask what tone the body color is. If the diamond is brown or gray it will generally trade at a considerably lower price.
Good Old Gold Hello I want to ask does GIA or any other lab in gem report informing about body color?or tint?
Hi Tomas. Generally not.
HI, what about E clarity diamond? was it cheaper or more expensive ? thanks for you time
Hi juliehuynh05 . In an "E" color diamond this becomes a non issue as "E" is colorless (ie. without color) and one would not detect these hues we are demonstrating here in the video. Thank you for your question.
Well did forget the blue and green color. these are most valued!
Blue, green as well as pink red, orange, etc are very beautiful and highly valued as well but they are not among the most popular with regards to what we see daily. Those would be properly classified under "fancy" colors while the more common yellow, brown and gray's would not. I hear you though. :)
The brown almost looks pink!
I often feel the same way.. We've had many customers place diamonds with a brownish hue in rose/pink gold settings. They tend to work well together : )
@@DiamondInfoMan I agree, and pinkish stones in rose gold are very popular, like morganite. I see a lot of engagement rings with morganite in rose gold; those brownish diamonds would look great.
Hi i think your video is great Great and informative. I am interested in diamonds alot as they re a girls best friend.Not because your's 're cheaper, but because I really like that color diamond on my hands maybe because i am addicted to diamonds.

Welcome to the obsession tatyana wright :)
What does graduate down means . Does it mean that your diamond will gradually turn either yellow or brown ?
+Naru Uchiha Nope. The color is the color and will remain that way UNLESS it is purposely radiated to alter it. It will not happen naturally over time. The graduation I'm referring to depends on the amount of nitrogen present in the crystallized carbon as it is forming into diamond.
Does setting a stone in yellow or white gold have any affect on color? Thanks.
Not really although it can either provide a good "blend" or perhaps "contrast" depending on the color of the diamond and the metal used. For example if you are considering a warmer colored diamond (L/M/N etc.) yellow gold would provide more of a blend and actually may make the diamond even look whiter, while setting a warmer colored diamond in white gold would make the color stand out more. The yellowish diamond against the white gold or platinum would provide more contrast in the coloring. Some people like either or both. Warm colors work very well in the August Vintage line as their optics are ideal.
I like the Gray more then i do the Yellow lol did you say thousands of dollars diference ? like tell us the price of each stone
So why is color necessarily important if when looking down on the table, there is not really a difference to the naked eye when comparing colors?
Because depth of color or lack of it = rarity. In diamond rarity = value even if you can't necessarily see it with your eyes. Same would hold true for clarity. Visibly you can't see the difference between an Internally flawless diamond and a VS2 yet there is a notable difference in value. It's another reason why we pound cut quality ... because that is the ONE factor that not only impacts value but more than clarity or color impacts the beauty of the diamond.
i do see pink in the light brown diamond
Brown colours has its own colour grading.c -1 to c-7.c -1 is the lightest champaigne colour and c'7 is the cognac deepest brown.dont mix with other colour gradings.white has 7 colours.def ghij.
Why are yellow diamonds all the rage now, I always thought the yellower the diamond the poorer the quality, that the whiter a diamond the better. I know " canary" diamonds are valuable but they are bright yellow...many of these "fancy" yellow diamonds just seem to be end of the scale diamonds, a marketing ploy ...
No. Coloured white diamonds are not evenly coloured, or radiantly or vividly coloured.They fall on the J/K-Z GIA scale and are a dull mucky yellow. Under magnification, you can see that the colour concentrates in the tips/extremes of the diamond. Canary diamonds are vividly and most importantly EVENLY coloured. They have a special GIA grading scale for their colour and are officially recognised by GIA. That is a lot more information to take in, so they are also called Sunburst, or Soleste (depending on which jeweller's marketing you read) for this reason. It is even harder to find these diamonds on a better clarity grade unlike white diamonds. They are formed in nature in exceptional circumstances. For example, fancy/vivid pink diamonds can only be spit up to the face of the earth from a volcano or a similar condition. Chemicals in the diamond cause the colour, and the they shouldn't affect clarity or uniformity of colour to form a valuable GIA graded fancy diamond. This is why they are called rare. Its hard to get your hands on a single coloured 2 to 3+ carat coloured stone of VS quality and higher, because believe me, I have searched for it. It is said that only 20% of the world's diamonds are a fancy colour, and even less are pure coloured without a secondary colour. Diamonds like pink-orange, yellow green, yellow brown cost less than pure orange, pure yellow, and pure pink. If it was all just a scam and conspiracy theory, then these diamonds wouldn't be auctioned off at Christie's to jewellery collectors.
yoongs Lattice deformation May also cause other colors. The red diamonds are the rarest. Is it true that 1% of diamonds are legitimately fancy colored? By this I am referring to fancy colors of fancy, fancy intense, fancy vivid, fancy deep.Is it also true that a legitimate GIA graded D,E,or F color diamond is about 1% out of all diamonds?

Hi
What should I pay for a Round 1.35ct C1 VS2 champagne diamond ( Good Cut ).
Would love some advice
Dylan
Hi Dylan wood and thanks for your question. Drop us an email at sales @ goodoldgold . com and we'll do the research for you to give you an idea.
Kind regards,
Rhino
how would you know the overall color of the diamond you are buying if it is not on the certificate?
That's a good question. You'd have to put your trust in the sellers integrity and judgment. When working with diamonds, difference between one color grade could be thousands of dollars which is why most of our customers want their diamonds certified if they are spending a lot of money on it.
diamonds the brazi!
Can you give me a ballpark price of a 2.5 and 3 carat F/G color radiant?
Sure, what "clarity" grade are you looking for?
My fovourite diamond colours are yellowish and diferent shades of browns.clarity is s i ,i want to see nature of imperfectness in the diamond.
with body color do you mean "Fluorescence" that is used on websites to describe diamonds? A lot of times for many diamonds it is saying "strong blue"? or is Fluorescence something else then body color? thanks, very informative video!
Thanks keska. Nope. :) It is true that fluorescence can impact how we perceive body color but it isn't actually body color. In this video I show yellow, brown and gray body colors but even diamonds that have yellow as a body color can contain blue fluorescence which wouldn't change the actual body color of the diamond but it would make the diamond look "whiter" in lighting environments that activate the fluorescence (like direct sunlight). I teach more about this here ... ua-cam.com/video/oWWwp-u7DBo/v-deo.html
Nice informative video. I prefer the Old Mine Cuts and the European Cuts in a warmer tone. I have an F, Old Mine Cut in a warm tone and it just rocks with brilliance. Everyone who see it wants to know about it. So I let them know about the old vintage style cuts. Most people today have no idea about these cuts.
Thanks Mponpadour. Have you seen/heard of the August Vintage line of diamonds?
Hi, Yes I have , and thanks for asking!. I've been going through your videos and I'm thoroughly enjoying the depth of information and detail you provide. The comparisons you do are so valuable to customers.
Thank you kindly Mpompadour! There is also another whole inventory accessible on the www.augustvintageinc.com site as well!
thanks for your video
how much would 2,38 carats round cut VVS,( I would say second in your raw/ slight yellow M colour) would cost today? I also know when it comes to a big size stones
price goes 2 to 2,5 carats,then2,5-3 carats so 0,5 carats doesn't make a big difference on a price ?
Hi amsterdamlove
Correct ... once you hit certain marks in the weight your price per carat is going to rise. Believe it or not you can see increases starting even as early as the 2.15+ct mark although most definitely once you hit 2.20ct, then another at 2.5ct, and slight increases as you reach upwards of 2.9xct
The price variations found within M VVS in these sizes can also vary based on the cut quality of the diamond (light leakage, etc.) and whether there are issues with graining, fluoro, etc. For example as I perform a query for 2.3-2.49ct M VVS round diamonds with GIA Reports I see options varying from the low teens to the high teens separated by a number of factors (too many to list here). If you would like our expertise in handpicking the best crystal with the highest optics drop us an email and we'll be happy to assist. Thank you kindly for your comment and question.

The grayish diamond looks whiter to me than the yellow tinge
We agree in that diamonds that don't graduate to a yellow hue can often be more forgiving from an optical color perspective!
How important is color in a 1 carat round? Can you get away with a lower color and still look as nice?
It really depends on 2 things. The cut and the presence or not of fluorescence. You may want to watch the 3rd video down on this page here. www.goodoldgold.com/diamond-color
@7charlierox I think a gray color shows a lot less in a white mount than brown or yellow. My engagement ring was a grayish diamond in an 18k white-gold mount, and I had no idea that it was gray for many years. In platinum, which looks more gray, you could probably tell even less because there's less contrast between the stone and the metal. Put the diamond next to the metals to see how the tones influence each other.
How much diamond
👍👍👍👍👍👍
face up its very hard to tell the difference of the diamond. But in the side definitely better able to tell!
Same IRL (in real life) There are differences you can see but they are more subtle.
happen to have.... happen to have.... happen to have....
Urs right side diamond is more attractive
does it mean coloured ones are more expensive? which certificate will show the details of the body colour?
+S H Desai When it comes to the common colors it is the ones that decrease to yellow which hold the highest value. The browns and gray's will always bring value down HOWEVER there are some diamonds classified as browns which actually have pink undertones which we find very beautiful and are not quite like other "browns" we see.
My boyfriend is going to be giving me with a friendship ring from him only in a box 8 years together all I know it looks like but 8 years together now with my favorite one is soailtre rings
so okay this diamond okay has a browny color okay, so okay and this diamond okay is more yellowish okay
I never really thought about some people requesting a yellowish diamond because I have always avoided them. I personally think any diamond that isn't colorless is of bad quality., hence why they are so much cheaper. I guess some just prefer yellow.
Seriously? It isn't true that colored diamonds are automatically of bad quality. As you can see, when they're face up, it's hard to tell the difference between the four diamonds he showed. They are all beautifully brilliant. Set in the right color metal and the right setting, they will all make fabulous jewelry.
看顏色跟淨度當然要從背側看才容易分辨. 正面則是要看切工跟反光度. 這影片講老半天, 也沒直指重點
Greetings Morgan. "Look at the color with clarity from the backside of course see it easily distinguishable. Is to look at the front with cut glare. This film tells waited a long time, did not focus directed." As soon as the diamonds come on screen they're in sharp focus are they not Morgan?
how long does it take for a diamond to graduate to its true color?
Hi Esther. It happens long before it gets on your hand. Diamond itself is crystallized carbon and the body color (when yellow) is caused by nitrogen. It is debateable about the "time" it takes for it to turn yellow buy my educated speculation is that it would happen as quickly as it takes the carbon to become crystallized. Some say millions of years however science in the lab has shown it the process can happy significantly quicker!
hi guys "smack" today "smack'
Wish you would have put the D in at the end
1st Diamond on display, you said it was a heart and arrows diamond, meaning that its a Helzberg Masterpiece? Thats the same diamond i purchased for the wife.
Diamonds are intrinsically worthless. De Beers company launched one of the most successful ad campaign in history. Tanzanite, Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire, are all rarer and more valuable than diamond. So Buy those, and save your money in investment for retirement or brokerage account that pays passive income.
Tanzanite (which I love) is more rarer than diamonds and when the mines are empty in the next 25 to 30 years they will most likely be more valuable than a diamond. But diamonds are the strongest and most beautiful (a good quality one) and in a class of their own, IMO. But I do love tanzanite and rubies though.

Quoc Bao you fell for that ad...its not only rarity that make the diamonds worth something
Nothing is "worthless" if it makes you happy. Diamonds are beautiful. They make people happy to look at. That's worth something. Unfortunately, you pay A LOT for the privilege. But think of this: apart from the pure gemology of the incredible stone, the workmanship is insane. Heck, I can't even draw a perfect octagon on a piece of paper, let alone carve one into a rock that's the hardest thing on earth. Could you?
i like GOG video but for this video, I think this is not a fair comparison. The comparison should be based on the same diamond cut/almost same quality cut to show the differences.
Although Jonathan is completely correct when he describes the diamond hues, it might be helpful to look at it another way, i.e., Diamond Color Families. In other words, three diamonds, all the same 'color'...J for example, have tones that belong to three different families of the most prevalent diamond colors. So, one "J" will have yellow tones, the second will have brown tones, the third will have grey tones. Yet, they are all technically "J" grade. However, they each belong to three different color "families".
SO, if you were to take the "J" from the yellow family, and line it up with six progressively darker K, L, M, N, O, P from the yellow family...you would eventually arrive at a dark yellow ( not Canary, btw). Same with the others...you would arrive at brown, or dark grey. This is what Jonathan means when he says the diamond 'graduates' down. He does not mean the diamond changes in color over time.
Well said Skylark. Thanks for the clarification! : )
@@DiamondInfoMan Thanks GOG !
How do you tell if your diamond is fake?..
Tatyana*
Great subject for a quick video. I'll put one together.
2 carats my ASS more like 1/4 carat each diamond ?
What is "M color" and "N color" ? He does not explain it... I wanna know more about diamonds Im just a novice...
Antonmursid🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✌🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨✌👌💝🙏
4:27 its easy grey, yellow and brown colored diamond are near worthless. Just try and pawn one. The stone to the far Left is the one you want. Clear Colorless or White or Blue.
Hey Dragon. Thanks for your comment. In certain cuts there are people who actually prefer some tonal body color.
Tweenty ? LOL
SI? That’s not a Diamond anyone should be buying. With lab diamonds coming out, SI will be replaced with VS lab diamonds. Why deal with visible inclusions when you don’t have to?
We totally agree! We've started selling lab grown diamonds a few years ago and I can't recall any of them being an SI or lower. Because of the minimal price differences, most of our customers go "colorless/VS" these days which is different from earth grown diamonds to where the majority of those sales are eye clean "SI's" since the price difference is much greater.
You open this segment by saying, let discuss the diffrence in value for the color in diamonds, but you only give an example of "thousands of dollars"?
Good question Cheap Bastard. The "thousands" or perhaps even just "hundreds" really depends on the size of the diamond, what color it is on the color scale, the manufacturer and how much they are attempting to get for the goods, etc. It's impossible to pin down a precise amount because so many other factors come into play as well. Let's just say that if you have two diamonds, they are both graded the same clarity, color, cut grade and are relatively close in size there can be up to a 20% difference in price because of these tonal differences. I've also seen instances where there was little to no difference in near colorless diamonds. It's really on a case by case basis.
Good Old Gold
I disagree with you on that, You showed four diamonds, comprable in size. You could have put a value on each of the four stones to show as a relaistic example of how the price differs between all four based on color.
Had you done that and provided a comparison between the value of all four stones-you video would have been perfect.
George Colson Hi George. You raise a good point. For sake of clarity I will include that in the description above with links to each of the diamonds including a disclaimer because what *these* cost me in particular I would not guarantee across the board. Thank you kindly for your feedback.
George Colson Hey George, Just went back and reviewed. There weren't enough things equal about all 3 beyond the cut. Ie. the brown was a 1.64 as compared to 2ct sizes which isn't an apples for apples. I did make a clarifying statement in the description to help people better understand how values can vary though. If I do get in my hands 3 diamonds that are equivalent in carat/color/carat and cut I'm happy to share that of course. in general though on the market we see brown and gray diamonds priced as low as 10-30% less than their yellow counterparts. I appreciate the feedback.

You kept averting to saying that the darker diamonds are worth less. This is a racism thing here, it is diamonds. "Diamonds" not diamond.
i think its more of a demand and supply thing. when there's higher demand for lighter colors/colorless diamonds, it will be more expensive than the darker diamonds. If now, the darker diamonds are more in demand, the price will be higher than the colorless? someone would control the supply of the darker diamonds into the market, making it a highly demand and expensive piece. dont see why this can lead to racism.
Akoya nailed it. Has absolutely nothing to do with race but market demand. :-/
"that's racist"
are you fucking kidding me
Nice for live
