Color

Photo of a diamond with the appearance of a flower in the diamond

Most diamonds, although appearing colorless, actually have slight tones of yellow or brown. As these tones become more easily apparent, the rarity and the cost decrease.

Ideal cutting dramatizes the rare splendor of a diamond because the ideal cut causes (which produces) the "dazzling brilliance.
