Fifty Shades of Sparkle: What Your Diamond’s Colour Really Says (and Costs) | Swapnil Shukla
You thought choosing between lab-grown and natural was tough? Buckle up, sparkle lover. Welcome to the world of diamond colour grading, where a single letter can burn a hole in your wallet—or save you thousands.
🎨 D to Z: The Rainbow You Didn’t Know You Were Wearing
No, D-Z isn’t a rap duo—it’s the official diamond colour spectrum.
D is the queen bee: icy white, ultra-rare, and oh-so-expensive.
Z? That’s yellow-ish, visibly tinted, and frankly not invited to the VIP section.
Everything else—E through Y—is a sliding scale of shimmer and shade. And guess what? Your eyes might not see the difference, but your credit card will feel it.
⚖️ One Letter. One Shade. One Big Price Jump.
Think an “F” diamond looks just like an “H”? You’re not wrong. But the price tag disagrees—with a vengeance.
We’re talking tens of thousands of rupees for a barely noticeable difference.
That’s the colour tax, darling. Blink and you’ll miss it—but you’ll still pay for it.
📚 Be Shade-Savvy, Not Sparkle-Stupid.
Here’s your glow-up: Learn the D-Z scale, match it to your budget, and avoid overspending for an invisible flex.
You can get a nearly colourless stone without going full D-diva.
Because when you know better, you shop better. And let’s be real—nothing sparkles like smartness.
