I gotta say I'm obsessed with the warm stones k+. There something very pretty, elegant and mature looking about them.
I 100% agree- they are so beautiful
I'm a I guy
yea, i'm considering getting aK,L,M tone... they are cheaper too.
yes I think they look classic and ancient
So helpful! Thank you! I actually originally had a warmer color in my wedding ring, a vintage style halo, then when the setting had to be re-done I had a Colorless put in. Long story short, ended up going back to the warmer color. It fit the style of the thing better. Took me time to realize exactly what you said. Color alone doesn’t represent beauty. In my case I thought the Colorless actually just looked out of place in the setting. Thanks again. Great video.
We're glad that our video was helpful!
This is the best video showing diamond colour! Thank you so much.
Your welcome. We're glad we can be of assistance : )
Best diamond videos on the internet!
I love the colorless or near colorless diamonds and always thought if I won the lottery, I'd get one, but, up until now, whenever I saw the K-M colored stones, didn't think much of them. I knew I wouldn't want one, but, now that I'm looking at the three you just showed against the white background, I can't believe how lovely they are. I like to be different, and those diamonds you are showing are definitely different, even the N & O face up were absolutely stunning and I would take them LOL!
Thank you again for your videos. Learn so much from you.
ProudKansan08 thank you so much for watching and for your kind words. We’re so happy to hear you’d now consider a warmer color stone after watching our video. 😊 If you like different, we have many different cuts and would be happy to help you find one that you’d be proud to show off.
Thank you for this helpful video! Deciding between an E and F
You're welcome. Also, if you're buying a diamond online, keep in mind that we should be able to beat anyone's prices and often have access to the same exact diamond you see elsewhere. A quick email to sales@goodoldgold along with the link of the diamond you're viewing often saves customers hundreds of dollars on that same exact diamond!
This video is very honest and helpful!
M color vs2 with 18k yellow gold studs. Very lovely for my mom who loves golden stuff.
Color M is the most flattering to me!
I purchased a 1ct M for my soon to be fiance and have to say in an 18ct gold setting solitaire, it looks absolutely gorgeous! I'm a guy and I'm in love with it.
Thank you my brother. Bless you for this insight
Thanks, we're glad we are able to be of assistance!
Very helpful video! My engagement ring is a 2ct I colour, but, when I decide to buy a large diamond, I will shop for a K+ colour, The warmth is intriguing, & subtly beautiful: as though a little candlelight, or a piece of a sunbeam got trapped inside the stone.
That's a beautiful way to put it! When the time comes for an upgrade, feel free to look in our direction as we should be able to beat anyone's prices while matching apples to apples regarding quality : )
I bought the VVS1 without watching these video I got L . I’m still happy with mine. I do better on the next upgrade.
Mine is VVS1 L and it look perfectly clear to me .
This was a really informative video. I personally have never seen diamonds in a pristine lab setting. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I love the graduated light brown especially when they show a hint of pink.
Very educational videos, thank you.
May have to take a trip to NY soon.
Your kind words are greatly appreciated gino. Lord willing one day we will meet face to face!
My engagement ring is a halo in yellow gold, with a pear cut diamond. .90, vvs2, K color. It is absolutely beautiful, the k color diamond compliments the yellow gold amazingly.
They're all beautiful
I love the sparkling warmth of a K diamond. I find whiter colour diamonds beautiful to contour a colour stone like an emerald, a ruby or a sapphire. For a solitary diamond I definitely prefer a K.
We appreciate you sharing your preferences : )
I’m thinking of getting a k diamond.
I have a J diamond and it sparkles quite nicely!
Sounds like it's cut quality is really good! A lot of brilliant light return!
@@DiamondInfoMan thank you for that kind comment! I was on a very strict budget!
Excellent video . Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome. We're glad you enjoyed!
LOL... Part 3 not completed. :P I have the footage and I have it in que. All I need now is that precious commodity called *time*. ;) Glad you are enjoying Olivia. If you are even in the market we appreciate you giving us a chance to help.
I love the h-j colors! I think they sparkle more then the D
This was so helpful. I’m waiting for my engagement ring to be made..and really wanted a higher grade color but the cost jumped up significantly for the carat size.
My choice came down between a 2.51 vvs 1 H (bigger spread 1.43) & 2.8 vvs1 J- I chose the 2.5 because the very slightly warm tone the J gave me would bug me in the long run. Hopefully I chose right, but this video was very helpful!
We're glad the video was of assistance!
I just got a D, VS1, Excellent cut and 1.5 carat in oval shape. So happy with it
They are all beautiful 🤩
I'm loving the N-O diamonds!
Exactly the information I need. Many thanks!!!

Hi grog,
Moisannite happen to be very dispersize gem stones. Bear in mind they don't have the strength or durability of diamond but this is also reflected in the cost as well.
Be careful with moisannite and anything oily like hand creams, salad dressing, etc. It will ruin the sparkle of the stone. Moisannite is porous and will soak up the oil with a permanent affect.
Your videos are the best could you do a video of the K L and M in different colored settings like gold, rose gold, platinum.
We could do that. Feel free to contact sales@goodoldgold.com with your request and we'll be happy to make you a personalized video showing off one of our warmer colored diamonds in a gold, rose, and platinum setting.
I prefer a warmer diamonds, It looks so good on my skin tone. My diamonds are all H's. I would have preferred a J but my husband upgraded my ring set by surprise so I'm not complaining. And the H still has a noticeable warmth to it I noticed it anyway. Its noticeable in different lighting.
Thanks for sharing!!
Very informative video. Thank you for sharing the knowledge.
Excellent demonstration👌🏼. Helped tremendously. Thank you.

Pricescope and GOG taught me a lot!!! I honestly got addicted on crushed ice appearance on cushion cut
Hey Monica, Nice to see you on our UA-cam channel. You're always so kind with your comments on Instagram, we appreciate all your positivity and kind words. I'm so glad you've learned so much from us that means the world.
Thanks, I love the yellow cast stones and whoever did the cutting, did a great job.
Me too, I like color.
Thank you for the knowledge in this video. Appreciate it
I have onky seen one flawless in my life and WOW IT WAS STUNNING 💍
We agree. Although rare, it's fascinating when a diamond shows up that's as perfect as a flawless diamond!
I love fluorescense. The more, the better.
I’ve just ordered a eternity ring with 0.5ct F colour diamonds GIA I’m really hoping they are nice and bright as they have faint / med fluorescent
When working with a decent retailer, most eternity rings will have the diamonds handpicked to match which means you should be safe.

Thank you so much for your videos! I feel like I'm learning so much! Unfortunately I can't visit your store as I am in Australia but I am thinking of purchasing a loose diamond and get it set through your online store. Wish me luck!
I am from Ireland but I love watching your video on your website and video on engagement rings i am looking forward to wearing the day my boyfriend puts it on me
Bought a .9ct D, IF stone for an engagement ring. Wanted quality and rarity over size, just like 5'3" her.
That is a rare find. We hope you enjoy it as I'm sure it's as beautiful as it sounds!
Adore pink diamonds and aquamarine
Elegant diamond ring I love it ..

Thanks. We're glad that the video was helpful!
Funny how beauty is relative. I've never been attracted to pure white stones. They're beautiful don't get me wrong, personally Ive always thought they resembled cubic zirconia. I love the touch of color, be it a little warm or grey/blue. I'm a gem lover, love them all lol Currently I'm looking for a 2-2.5 emerald cut. I'll take the higher color but not lower clarity.
We appreciate your feedback. If you'd like assistance in finding your perfect Emerald diamond, feel free to contact sales@goodoldgold.com .

Farout I’m watching this high!! FMD
Fantastic thorough video
Excellent videos by the way I have learned quite a bit of information in regards to the color of the diamond...
As of now I have only read the differences and haven't seen them side by side...
If you don't mind me asking what is your definition of an exceptional cut?
I have purchased a diamond with the hearts and arrows cut as I was told that was the best cut available...
@adiazde2 Thanks for your kind words. In answer to your question fluoroescence is generally not an issue, particularly when it fluoroesces blue. Rarely will it cause negative effects. Colors other than blue like yellow is another story though. If you are not purchasing through us then I would highly suggest comparing it to another diamond with no fluoroescence (or even blue) side by side in sunlight or natural daylight which emits long wave UV to allow you to see the differences.
I had no clue about these dimond properties. Over a decade ago, when I got engaged to my husband we went dimond shopping for an engagement ring. Most regular jewelry stores did not carry D or E or even F diamonds. I remember my husband making all the questions about price difference. I got an I color and it’s so beautiful. Later we updated to a bigger size but still I color. Usually H color is the highest they will manage to get according to the sales manager at our city.
L GaRi Colorless Diamonds are hard to come by. Less than 1% of the Diamonds that come out of the earth are D or E.
“I” color stones are beautiful!
Costco always has diamonds ranging up to D for incredible prices 😊
There prices are indeed good and when comparing apples to apples regarding quality, we should be able to compete with anyone's prices. Feel free to put us to the test : )
@@DS-tw9ls Probably not GIA or AGS certified though
Excellent in depth video.👏👏👏
Thanks for your feedback : )
Thank you so much 🙏🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Most welcome 😊
Great video! I just ordered a marquise J color VVS1 Diamond and thought maybe I fucked up with the color but seeing them next to each other I feel like it will be fine
We're glad the video was of assistance. If your looking for a diamond in the future, feel free to contact sales@goodoldgold.com. We should be able to beat the price you were offered for that same exact diamond (as long as we have access to it)!
love the D E Fs .. G Hs. Thank you
Totally ok sir and your words of encouragement are greatly appreciated. Have you seen part 1? What Diamond Color Isn't?
Good vid. Useful stuff
Excellent video thank you !
I prefer the diamond into gh color that has alot of fire with other color going through it
Great video thanks

D to F nobody would tell in a solitaire setting
Yes, we are indeed splitting hairs.
J absolutely.
What a great video
Thanks, We appreciate your feedback!
I love your videos.
How do you keep up with what's what?! Lots of diamonds to keep track of.
Thank you 🙏👍

Amazing video. Thank you
Thanks, we're glad the video was helpful!
... worse value and yes ... in times even better value. Thing is ... it is not a cheap process to hunt down what are the actual values amongst EGL graded diamonds and the better values I would say are among the minority in EGL graded diamonds.
Clarity enhancement: I have a couple of videos on this subject that you can search for on our channel where I go into greater depth but in short clarity enhancement can be fine if you are looking to maximize the size of the diamond but it must be ...
Enjoying the videos immensely! :) I can't seem to find part 3? Have I lost my marbles?
Any help getting directed to the next part in the series would be wonderful. Thank you for sharing with us! oxoxo
what do you think of an EGL rating? i know about them being much less conservative in their ratings, but is it really something I should stay away from? also, how do you feel about the long-term affect of clarity enhancement? having very limited knowledge on stones all I have heard is that it makes the stone look much better but also is quite risky in the future for durability and possible color change in the filler. could you shed some light on those issues please? thanks a lot
Great video!
I'd choose G to I color.
That seems to be the current trend. Many customers like their price point while in their opinion, the diamond still looks white!
I ordered a diamond ring which is J grade with excellent setting. Will it be sparkle well? I am worrying if it will be too yellow.
The color in a "J" colored diamond shouldn't prevent the diamond from sparking. Sparkle usually has more to do with the "cut quality". You could have a D - IF, but if the cut is not great and there is significant light leakage, it's brilliance will be lackluster. Although many might assume otherwise, this often occurs in diamonds that are graded GIA Triple Excellent graded (as demonstrated in this video) - ua-cam.com/video/BgqdbcAF-Wc/v-deo.html .
Hopefully, the diamond you ordered is stunning. But if you end up being disappointed, feel free to contact sales@goodoldgold.com and we'll be happy to source you a super brilliant diamond for a very completive price!
first time seeing N's and O's they're as beautiful as any other diamond, I think the cut is more important than the color :))
Yes, cut is the most important

I am interested in a diamond with a warmth to it but i don't want it to be canary or bright yellow, I love the colors J to M, how much do you think a 1 carat round or princess cut would cost with a clarity no lower than SI2??
By the way, Love your videos, thank you for the info... very very helpful
Is IGI looked “down upon”? I never hear it mentioned as a legit inspection/rating source.
That's a good question. Although IGI doesn't have the reputation that GIA has, from my understanding, IGI has been the main laboratory where suppliers are sending their lab grown diamonds to be certified and from our experience, IGI is pretty on par for the most part.
We at Good Old Gold can send a diamond to GIA for a second opinion if you have any concerns on a diamond you might be considering. If so, there's even a good chance we have access to that same diamond and can offer it to you for less than the listed price. So if you'd like our assistance, feel free to contact sales@goodoldgold.com as we'd be happy to assist and do our best to save you $$..
I actually want a warmed toned diamond, are you able to see the warm tone in a J colour diamond that is very well cut, or am I better going for an K/L/M?
Good question. I believe the K/L/M is a safer bet. Although on the fence, a "J" colored diamond is still considered "near colorless". Crossing over into the "faint" category is what we'd recommend and if you'd like assistance, feel free to contact sales@goodoldgold.com . We should be able to beat anyone's prices while matching quality..
How does J (GEL certified) compare to a N (GIA certified)?
The EGL "J" diamond should appear whiter. In the past, we've seen EGL "J" colored diamonds look a grade or two lower compared to a GIA graded diamond, however we have not seen them drop to as low as 4 grades. There are also EGL diamonds that are comparable to GIA graded diamonds. It's really on a diamond-to-diamond basis and therefore the diamond would be something a reputable jeweler would have to analyze in person in order to offer you a solid opinion on the specific diamond in question.
Thanks, it’s a good thing my husband has taught himself with the help of some books and some experts hopefully by the end of these videos, he’ll feel comfortable enough to make his p the purchases I’ve been waiting for. Truthfully since the pandemic has been roaring through the world where am I going to wear new jewellery ? Thanks for all your info
We're glad that our educational videos are of assistance. If your husband is considering buying a diamond, feel free to contact sales@goodoldgold.com. There is a good chance we have access to the same diamond he's viewing elsewhere and odds are we can offer that exact diamond to you for less than its listed price!
turn the volume of the music down
I feel like D and E are the exact same but F is supposed to be with G 😅
Thanks for your feedback! It does sometimes seem like the visual difference between certain colors are often wider than others. For example, many of our customers notice the difference between I-J colored diamond more than G-H colored diamonds. It's not always the case, but seems like a trend.
Good morning, I went inside the mall to look at engagement rings. I’m not an expert when it comes to diamonds but I seen a white gold pear shape ring and it has a little bit of rainbow colors to it under the jewelry store light. I see a mostly blue color. Does that mean the diamonds are fake???
If the diamond emits rainbow colors, it could be real. Like crystals, the sparkle in a diamond can show all of the colors of a rainbow depending on the lighting environment they are placed under. However there are other types of stones that can replicate this effect as well. So they are possibility real diamonds, but I'd need more information to know for sure.
When it comes to H&A diamonds I generally prefer photographic evidence as there are many companies now advertising it and under examination turn out not to be. But in way of 57 faceted diamonds genuine Hearts & Arrows diamonds are among the best out there. There are other round diamond that others deem equally if not more beautiful as well that are also cut for high optics. Among them are the Solasfera, The August Vintage Old European Cut, the Eighternity & the Star129. Search on my channel
@LouisVuittonPrince why thank you Louis. Did you see Part 1 of this? Not as long but would be curious to know your thoughts on this too.
Hello would you please give information about lab diamond from China with GRA certificate, thank you.
Hi, unfortunately I don't have too much experience with GRA certificates and therefore I'm not sure if they're on par with some of the other lab's that are more recognized in the US. They might be.. With that being said, if you're in the market for a beautiful diamond, you're always welcome to reach out to us as we offer GIA, AGS, IGI, GCAL, and graded Lab Grown diamonds and should be able to beat anyone's prices in doing so!

@khitan004 You'd think right? Hey ... if this has helped you, more power to ya. If there is any way we can be of assistance we're here for ya.
really? moissanite is a 9.25 on the mohs scale. alsmost as strong. and 10 times cheaper
:D No prob! I am a patient lady. I AM in the market :) I was that crazy person who sent one of your poor victims a super long email (about optics groups), ya know us psych peeps, we luvvvv to talk ;)
I know that you guys will get to me when you can, so I fill my magpie head with sparkles until then. heehee
Bling bling
Informative
Thanks. We're glad the video was helpful : )
Best video
Thanks, we're glad it was useful ; )
the video is good but the colors background and the music was distracting
I saw a forever brilliant that was more stunning to me than any of the other gems in the store so I was wondering what your opinion on Moissanite is?
What about florescence test????
We have another video talking about fluorescence. Here is the link to one of those video's ua-cam.com/video/eKDshYGBdko/v-deo.html
Crap I spent alot on 2.01 carat radiant cut vvs2 but color grade i . It's against white gold band so hopefully it won't look too yellow
How did it look? I'm considering a H?
I'd love a part 3 :(
