Is there a German rating system?

goldenringlets Cut Rock Total Posts: 118 Last Post: 8/1/2005 Member Since: 9/5/2003	We're just back from Berlin. I inquired about an antique reproduction deco ring from a vendor in an auction house. The vendor knew little about the ring, which appeared to be on consignment. The weight and inclusion information was clear enough, but the color description was a variation on white (weiss) rather than the lettering system with which you've all made me so familiar. Do the Germans have their own color rating system, if so, what is it? And, in future, where would one look for antique or reproduction rings in Berlin? Thanks, Goldenringlets Goldenringlets

(I think it should be something like Hochfeines Weiss +, Feines Weiss (+), weiss (+), Leicht getöntes Weiss, Getönt 1/2/3/4) Please pardon my terrible spelling, as I don't speak german. If the answer is yes, it looks like he's using CIBJO standards, which are recognized in Europe. _____________ Omnia Mea Mecum Porto. Giangi

These are the German names, and their better known letter-equivalent. Farbgrade: River+ (D) River (E) Top Wesselton+ (F) Top Wesselton (G) Wesselton (H) Top Crystal (I-J) Crystal (K-L) Top Cape (M-N) Cape (O) Light Yellow (P-Y) Yellow (Z) Live long, Paul Paul Slegers Infinity Diamonds www.CraftedByInfinity.com
