FAQs

G is the top of the near-colorless range. In a 2 carat hexagon, G color appears white face-up, though the shape's open, geometric faceting is more revealing than brilliant cuts. Most people see no warmth in a G hexagon during normal wear, but in direct side-by-side comparison with D-E, a faint difference may be perceptible.
For most buyers, absolutely. G color in a 2 carat hexagon looks clean and white in everyday conditions. The hexagon's open faceting is more transparent than brilliant cuts, but G is still well within the near-colorless range. If you want guaranteed colorless on paper, F is the cutoff. For practical beauty, G performs well.
G color offers substantial savings versus D-F at 2 carats. The savings are especially meaningful because the hexagon is already a distinctive, statement-making shape. For buyers who prioritize the unique geometry over absolute colorlessness, G delivers excellent real-world performance at a much better price point.
The difference between G and H color is very difficult to detect with the naked eye in a hexagon cut, though step-cut facets can show color slightly more readily. Once set in a ring, both grades appear equally white. Choosing H color over G in a 2 carat hexagon can free up budget for a better cut or larger stone.
