When purchasing D color diamonds, there are a few things to keep in mind. To get the most out of your gemstone, you should pay attention to its cut and clarity. Diamonds in the D color range are considered investment-quality gemstones, so keep this in mind when making your selection. Here are a few pointers to keep in mind when shopping for D-color gemstones.

Cut

The cut of a diamond affects its ability to reflect light. The brilliance of a well-cut diamond is enhanced, and the stone appears larger and whiter than it actually is. Finding an ideal-cut diamond is the best way to get the most out of your D color gemstone and maximize its light performance.

Precision-cut diamonds are more expensive than regular diamonds, but they are worth the extra money if you want a diamond worthy of being in a collection.

Shape

For the most part, diamonds come in a round cut. In addition, it’s 10 to 15 percent more expensive than other forms. It is possible to choose any shape with D color diamonds without sacrificing much in terms of appearance. Because of this, it’s best to go with a less expensive shape that still shows off the diamond’s fire and brilliance.

Setting

They appear icy, white, and translucent. To match the metal, you can set them in yellow or rose gold. Because setting a D color stone in colored metal would reduce its brilliance, spending more on a D color stone would be counterproductive. A white gold or platinum setting would best highlight the icy white look of D-color gemstones.

Surrounding Diamonds

D color diamonds should be surrounded by smaller stones of the same color as the D gemstone. With other D-colored diamonds or, at the very least, E-colored gemstones, a D-colored diamond will look stunning in an infinity or halo ring. Your primary D color rock will look less appealing if you use stones with distinctly different color grades.

Fluorescence

As a result of their inclusions, diamonds can fluoresce when exposed to ultraviolet light. A diamond’s value can be affected by fluorescence. Gemstones with a lot of fluorescence have a cloudy appearance, while stones with a little fluorescence have a more transparent appearance. There are times when the price of diamonds with a higher fluorescence is discounted. A stone of D color with only faint fluorescence should be chosen. It’s likely to be worth more.

Clarity

Diamonds in the D color range are thought of as investments. Because of this, it is critical to ensure that the diamond is of the highest quality. When purchasing a D color gemstonestone, it should be clear enough to match. A diamond with VVS2 clarity or higher is a guarantee of a high-quality gemstone.

Carat

The price of a large carat, D color gemstone will be higher. The rarity of the item raises the price. The larger the carat, the more valuable an investment-grade D diamond will be in the long run. Compared to other stones of the same color and cut, a large carat D-color diamond will command a much higher price.

Buying a diamond with a color grade of D means you’ll be paying a premium price. To get the best value for your money, it is best to make sure that all aspects of the diamond are also investment-grade. The high color grade should be reflected in the stone’s cut, weight, and clarity. Your diamond’s resale value will suffer if you compromise on any of these aspects.

Nissan, David and his team were extremely accommodating, understanding and patient with our purchase. They took the upmost care to find the best solution for our needs and went above and beyond normal ‘customer service’ standards. I have absolutely no qualms recommending their products and services. Both were absolutely flawless. I will continue to sing them praises and will most definitely purchase from them again in the future. Thank you again!

Bought a beautiful stone here for an engagement ring. I was a little apprehensive since you’re buying something unseen. But Cid made it easy. In fact, Nissan, the owner also gave a call to make me more comfortable. They sent me the stone to take to a local jeweler with only my Amex in case I bailed on them.
