I color has a slight warm tint that can be visible in certain conditions. In a 2 carat hexagon, the open, geometric faceting makes I color more noticeable than in brilliant cuts. The broad, flat facets can display the warmth across their transparent planes. Yellow or rose gold settings help neutralize this warmth.
It depends on your metal choice and color sensitivity. The hexagon's step-cut-like transparency makes color more visible than in brilliant cuts. In yellow or rose gold, I color is completely masked. In white gold, the warmth is perceptible. For buyers who don't mind visible warmth, I offers significant savings.
The hexagon's open, geometric faceting acts like a series of flat windows into the stone. I color warmth is more visible through these transparent planes than through a round brilliant's scattered sparkle pattern. This is why color-conscious buyers of step-cut-style shapes often choose one to two grades higher than they would for brilliant cuts.
At 2 carats, a I color hexagon is near-colorless, meaning it is faint warmth that may be slightly detectable in some settings. Warmth can be noticeable in platinum or white gold if compared side by side with higher grades. In white gold or platinum, I color faces up clean and bright. In yellow or rose gold, any faint body color becomes imperceptible against the warm metal. The hexagon cut's geometric facets create elegant reflections of the metal color.
