The Diamond Color Grading System starts with D, why not A?

%Jeweler NYC %NYC Wholesale Diamonds

Last updated: September 1st, 2016

A frequent question asked here at our NYC Wholesale Diamonds office in the new York Diamond District is a logical one for sure:

Why does the Diamond Color Grading System start with D?
The answer is to avoid confusion, and any association with the outdated, inaccurate pre GIA Color Grading systems.
The first ever official grading of Diamonds was in England by the London Diamond Syndicate – in order to sort through rough Diamonds for sale. From that point up until the 1940s there were many different color systems used by diamond traders.

Letters of the alphabet were used (A, AA, AAA; A, B and C, with multiple A’s for the best stones), Arabic (0, 1, 2, 3) and Roman Numerals(I, II, III), and descriptions such as“golconda”,  “river”,  “jagers”,  “cape”,  “blue white”, “fine white”,  “gem blue” and “brown” and more…

Comparing and determining Diamond Color was confusing, inconsistent and inaccurate.

Then along came the Gemological Institute of America, bringing order, accuracy, and integrity to the diamond industry. The Color Grading Scale along with so many of the GIA’s incredible work in the field of diamond grading, was developed in the 1940’s and 50’s. The GIA wanted a fresh start and to avoid any association with the past bedlam surrounding Color Grading. Thus the Color Grading System we have today was born – starting not with the already confusing I, 1 or A …but the fresh and untouched letter D. And the rest, as they say, is history!

Today, across the Globe, Diamond experts fully co-operate and use the GIA Diamond Grading Chart, ranging from Perfect, Colorless “D” to Yellowish, Brownish “Z”.

The GIA exists to protect the consumer, as well as those in the industry with integrity. We are all quite thankful for its existence.

NYCWD’s Latest Google+ Review

%Jeweler NYC %NYC Wholesale Diamonds
” I stumbled upon Keith Saxe while researching options for engagement rings and am thrilled that I did. The process was smooth and very educational. Keith takes the time to walk you through all aspects of diamonds and does not apply any pressure for you to make a decision. He also did not show me anything above my price range, which shows his ethics. The ring I bought turned out gorgeous and my (now) fiance absolutely loves it. You won’t beat his prices, nor will you beat the experience. If I could rate higher than 5 stars, I would. “

Our Latest Diamond Engagement Ring Review

Thank you Mike & Nicole for your kind Yelp review. We wish you both a ton of happiness and love!

%Jeweler NYC %NYC Wholesale Diamonds

“I randomly stumbled across NYC Wholesale Diamonds and Keith Saxe, but I’m glad that I did. After looking up a specific diamond for an engagement ring that I saw in-store priced around $10k, I found that same exact diamond at NYC Wholesale Diamonds for about $5k. That immediately gave Keith credibility in my mind.

Talking with Keith was unlike talking with anyone else I dealt with in my diamond search. He was happy to answer questions as I moved through the process and gave me his honest & straightforward expert opinions along the way. When it finally came time to buy, a few other websites had the same diamond I ended up choosing listed for slightly less (Many sites will list the same diamond for sale – same GIA certificate # – as diamonds are offered on an exchange between dealers and different dealers will list the same diamond without having physical possession of it). I reached out to those other sites and quickly found out why they were offering the same stone for slightly less – they gouge you on the cost of the setting.

All in, NYC Wholesale Diamonds offers the best prices and Keith was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I can’t say enough good things about my buying experience with Keith & NYC Wholesale Diamonds. I strongly recommend buying from them and have already recommended them to a friend who also bought an engagement ring. Both of our fiances were thrilled with their rings, as were we knowing that we received a quality product at a great price!”

Record Green Diamond Leads Christie’s Sale

%Jeweler NYC %NYC Wholesale Diamonds

A 5.03-carat diamond dubbed the ‘Aurora Green’ is expected to fetch up to $20 million (HKD 155 million) at a Christie’s auction in Hong Kong this month.

The largest natural fancy vivid green diamond in the world, named after a natural light display seen in Arctic and Antarctic regions, will lead the auctioneer’s Magnificent Jewels sale on May 31. A report by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) describes the cut as “cut-cornered rectangular modified brilliant” and the clarity as VS2.

“Due to their incredible rarity, top quality fancy vivid green diamonds are extremely difficult to find,” said Vickie Sek, Christie’s deputy chairman and head of jewels for Asia. “Graded by the GIA as the largest, natural fancy vivid green diamond in the world, the Aurora Green is indeed a natural wonder combining the purest vivid green color to a considerable size.”

The auction will feature more 280 jewelry lots with a combined pre-sale estimate of about $100 million.
