Hi
We are going to buy a diamond in the next few weeks so I am trying to gather as much information as possible! Due to budget we are going to be limited to lower colour diamonds - I think H, I and J. We will look at the diamonds in as many different lighting situations as possible but probably this will be limited to the store and outside (who knows whether it will be overcase or sunny on the day!). Which situation will show the most body colour? Will a cloudy overcast day show more colour than a sunny day? Will you see body colour if you hold the diamond under the desk? What is your best advice to make sure you get a diamond that has a colour that is acceptable to you?
Many thanks
