FAQs

G is the top of the near-colorless range, appearing white to the naked eye. At 3 carats, G color in a cushion looks clean and bright. The cushion's broader facets show G with slightly more warmth than a round brilliant would, but in everyday conditions, G appears white and beautiful.
G is a strong choice for most buyers. The cushion's broader faceting is slightly more revealing than round brilliants, so G at 3 carats may show the faintest warmth under direct comparison with D. In everyday wear and especially in warm metals, G looks clean and white. The savings versus colorless grades are very substantial.
The difference is very subtle. G is technically near-colorless while F is colorless. The cushion's broader facets make this distinction slightly more noticeable than in a round brilliant, but still negligible in everyday wear. F provides certified colorless peace of mind; G provides nearly identical beauty at lower cost.
When looking for 3 carat natural diamonds, look between 2.9 to 3.3 carats so that you give yourself the best selection which will help find the best value. Searching within this range across different G color options gives you the widest selection to compare cut quality, color consistency, and overall value. A well-chosen 3 carat G cushion natural diamond at the lower end of this range can look identical to one at the exact 3 carat mark while costing less.
