FAQs

E color is the second-highest grade, colorless with trace differences from D detectable only by experts. In a 2 carat hexagon, E color appears identically white to D. The geometric faceting's broad planes of light show the same pure, clean appearance at both grades.
Excellent value. E delivers certified colorless appearance at a meaningful savings versus D. The hexagon's open faceting is more revealing of color than brilliant cuts, but the D-E difference is too subtle to detect even in this transparent shape. At 2 carats, E offers all the benefits of D at a better price.
No. E is firmly colorless. The hexagon's step-cut-like facets are more color-revealing than brilliant facets, but E color is well above the threshold where any warmth becomes visible. The broad, geometric planes of light appear crisp and white.
The difference between E and F color is virtually impossible 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 F color over E in a 2 carat hexagon can free up budget for a better cut or larger stone.
