How to Choose the Right Color Grade for Your Stone
Icy white or warm? Here's how to pick a color that suits you and your setting.
Color is one of the 4 Cs, and with white stones it describes how colorless they appear. Here's how to choose the right grade for your taste, your metal, and your budget.
What color grade means
For white stones, a higher color grade means more colorless — the icy, bright look many people want. Quality moissanite is colorless to near-colorless as standard. See Color Grades Explained.
Match color to your metal
A colorless stone looks stunning in white metals, which enhance its iciness. In warm yellow or rose gold, a very slightly warmer stone can blend beautifully — so the metal influences your ideal grade.
Personal taste
Some people love the brightest icy white; others prefer a touch of warmth. Neither is “better” — it's about the look you love.
The moissanite advantage
Because quality moissanite comes colorless to near-colorless and is affordable, you can have a beautifully white stone without a premium price. Browse engagement rings.
