When selecting a white diamond for your jewelry, the choices can seem endless and a bit daunting. Yet, understanding a few key details can transform this experience from overwhelming to exhilarating.
A white diamond is a type of diamond that appears white or milky due to the presence of minute inclusions or internal graining. Unlike colorless diamonds, they have a distinct, noticeable color.
White diamonds exhibit a translucent, milky appearance caused by inclusions, whereas colorless diamonds are clear and devoid of any hue or cloudiness.
The white color in diamonds is primarily caused by submicroscopic inclusions and structural irregularities that scatter light, giving them a whitish, opalescent look.
White diamonds are rare because their distinctive milky or opalescent appearance is caused by unique internal features that are uncommon in the majority of diamonds. These features result from specific conditions during the diamond's formation.
White diamonds, distinct from their colorless counterparts, possess a unique white hue that places them within the broader category of colored diamonds. These diamonds are evaluated not for the absence of color, but for the presence and nuances of their white coloration. The grading process for white diamonds focuses on the following:
Potential buyers should be aware of the grading criteria specific to white diamonds. It's also important to purchase from reputable dealers who provide detailed certification from recognized gemological institutes, ensuring the authenticity and quality of the diamond.
