Pick a Lab Diamond

FAQs

D color delivers absolute colorlessness in a round cut lab grown diamond, but it is not the best choice for most buyers. The round brilliant's faceting is the most effective at masking body color, meaning G or even H color faces up white in a round cut. D color is best for buyers who want the highest possible grade on the certification or who are purchasing a large (3+ carat) round for maximum color assurance.
No, D color does not make a round cut lab created diamond sparkle more. Sparkle is determined entirely by cut quality, not color grade. A well-cut round brilliant with G color will outsparkle a poorly cut round with D color. The visual effect of D color is a perfectly ice-white appearance, not enhanced brilliance. Always prioritize cut quality (Excellent or Ideal) over color grade for maximum sparkle.
A D color round cut lab grown diamond typically costs 15% to 30% more than the same stone in G color. Since the visual difference between D and G is undetectable to the naked eye in a round brilliant cut, this premium buys certification bragging rights rather than visible improvement. Most diamond professionals recommend redirecting that budget toward better cut quality or a larger carat weight.
