I have a J diamond 1.30 carats, vs2… I have seen some very yellow and some not yellow at all (to my eyes) I dont understand how that happens then shouldnt they be a different color grade, what else affects it to be rated j but there be still so many shades?
Here is my J
Member1) Different labs may grade softer than GIA, therefore a GIA graded K might be an AGS J.
2) There is a spectrum to color. It has to be less color than a K but more than an I to fall in the J range.
3) Grading can be subjective and not all stones on WB are certified by either the same lab or even a lab at all. Some are graded in house and the appraiser gives it a color grade, not the lab.
4) Clarity characteristics, fluorescence, shape of stone, settings, color of side stones, metal color, lighting, and viewing angle can all have an impact on the amount of body color a stone shows at any given time.

MemberGood old Gold shows this in a video about a N and M colour grades but it gives you an idea if you applied the same logic to a J. Some J’s may appear more yellow and some more grey or brown and the large value difference because of that. I have a friend that wanted a large stone on a set budget so she was happy to go greyer on the colour scale as she wanted to avoid a warm tinted diamond and she got a beauty that looks incredible and unless you were colour sensitive or it was compared to a F, G you would think it was white.
MemberHere is my J colored diamond. It looks very clear in natural light however, I do notice more of a yellow tint in dim light or where the lighting seems to be more yellow toned.

Here’s my J! Super white in some lights but shows warmth in other lights. I love J’s!!!
MemberMemberWow ladies, those rings are absolutely stunning!!! 😍😍😍💎💍💎💍
And thank you for tthe explanation about the tones of the diamonds… I feel like I understand it a bit better. I am slowly falling more in love with my upgrade, I think I have just been taking a bit t o be used to it and have so many questions about diamonds lol.
Your rings are seriously such beauties. Thank you for sharing.
I want to keep seeing more MOREEEE SHINY RINGS PLZ
MemberMemberMy stone is a J, but I really never notice any yellowness to it at all! Sometimes when I scrutinize a photo of it, I can see a subtle bit of yellow, but not in my day-to-day.
MemberHere is my J! I think mine seems super white. The diamond is from my grandma’s engagement ring while my husband helped customize the setting.

Yours looks so white!
My center stone is a GIA VVS1 color J 3.01
I chose all rose gold to make the diamond appear whiter. Sometimes it looks whiter and other times it looks warm 🙂
