Dear all,
i read my old science text book and realise that the rainbow colors are due to the dispersion of light by refraction. So if the diamond is well cut, let assume that it is, the next factor will be color?
A colorless well cut diamond will disperse more rainbow than a yellow tinted diamond right?
Since it is simple science that yellow is seen by the eyes because the color is being reflected..
of course clarity is important as any inclusion can obstruct the path of light...
so in general... does it mean that when the diamond is well cut, it best to stick to near colorless and VS diamonds? thanks..
