The second C stands for color. And you should have an understanding of it when choosing your man made diamonds. You may think it refers to colors such as red, orange, and green. This, however, is not the case.
A lab made diamonds’s color is the lack of color present in the gem!
Jewelers use a D to Z scale, created by the International Gemological Institute (IGI), to color grade lab diamonds.
Think of it as D - E - F - G till you reach the letter Z.
D - E - F Diamonds are colorless gems.
G - H - I - J are nearly colorless gems.
K - L are faint colored gems.
N - R are gems that have a noticeable colored tint.
S - Z are gems with a recognizable colored tint.
