3 Carat Oval Cut G Color Lab Grown Diamonds

G is the top of the near-colorless range. At 3 carats, G color in an oval appears white in everyday conditions. The oval's brilliant-style faceting provides good color masking. A very faint warmth at the tips might be perceptible under bright, direct comparison with a D stone, but in normal wear, G looks clean.

G is a strong choice for most buyers. The oval's brilliant faceting helps mask near-colorless warmth. At 3 carats, G offers very substantial savings versus colorless grades. In warm metals, G is completely indistinguishable from D. In white gold, the vast majority of people see no difference.

G's near-colorless warmth is so minimal that tip concentration is typically not noticeable. At 3 carats, the oval's pointed tips may show the slightest warmth under very specific comparison conditions. In everyday wear, G appears uniformly white across the entire elongated body.

The difference between G and H color is very difficult to detect with the naked eye in a oval cut, especially since brilliant-cut faceting masks subtle color differences. Once set in a ring, both grades appear equally white. Choosing H color over G in a 3 carat oval can free up budget for a better cut or larger stone.
