Almost all natural diamonds contain small traceable quantities of nitrogen atoms that displace the carbon atoms within the crystals lattice structure.
Nitrogen atoms dispersed throughout the stone give them their yellow appearance.
The lower the amount of nitrogen present within the diamond the whiter it will be. In determining the colour grading of a white diamond the Gemological Institute of America uses a scale of D to Z.
D, E, F colourless
G, H, I, J near colourless
K, L, M faint yellow or brown
N, O, P, Q, R very light yellow or brown
S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z light yellow or brown
Fancy Light the start of fancy coloured diamonds
Fancy
Fancy Intense
Fancy Vivid the highest saturation of colour
At Carats, we know that giving a diamond is an experience of affection “a grand moment to express the depth of what you feel.” Buying is an intimate part of that experience. Finding the right engagement ring is just as important as the moment she pops open the box.
That popping sound and the way her eyes light on fire, the way your heart beats faster and her heart beats faster...When the Carats box appears- it is more than the value of money. It’s the recognition of love given and love received.
Whether you’re buying a transparent diamond engagement ring, a golden champagne diamond engagement ring or any other color in the rainbow, Carats believes your diamond must be the most beautiful diamond the two of you have ever seen.
Carats treats your engagement with honour and respect. A quality diamond is no respecter of persons. Wheather it is a Royal Wedding or our own engagement, the perfect diamond reserves all its attributes for the adorned.
Engagement is a gesture of courage, hope and love.

Perfect Engagement Ring
Buying an engagement ring should be simple. Like the clarity of your love.
However, we know that the process can be daunting.
For your convenience Carats has broken the process down into three essential components to consider: Beauty, Value and Poetic Expression.
• Our belief is that the most significant return you’ll get on your diamond is beauty.
• The beauty of the ring is a reminder of life’s greatest gift; the shared love between you and your loved one.
• If she or he has the most beautiful and brightest diamond set against the background of a collection of jewellry, you know you’ve reaped tremendous value from your investment.
• Very few people get that kind of value without paying retail prices.
• Cost is always a concern when buying a diamond ring. And it certainly should be.
• At Carats, we buy directly and import our stones giving us the advantage of access to the most beautiful diamonds at wholesale prices.
• We often buy our engagement diamonds as rocks and cut them ourselves.
