FAQs

E color is colorless with trace differences from D. At 3 carats, E color appears identically white to D through the emerald cut's step faceting. Even in this most color-revealing shape, E is indistinguishable from D in everyday conditions.
Excellent choice. E provides certified colorless appearance at meaningful savings versus D. At 3 carats in an emerald cut, the per-carat savings are very substantial. The step faceting's transparency cannot distinguish E from D, making E the practical equivalent of D.
No. E is firmly colorless. Even the emerald cut's highly transparent step facets at 3 carats cannot reveal any warmth at this grade. Every broad, mirror-like plane shows pure, clean white light identical to D.
The difference between E and F color is virtually impossible to detect with the naked eye in a emerald cut, though step-cut facets can show color slightly more readily. Once set in a ring, both grades appear equally white. Choosing F color over E in a 3 carat emerald can free up budget for a better cut or larger stone.
