Diamond milk coffee refers to the type of diamond, and the color of diamonds is generally determined by the 4C standard of diamonds. Milk coffee diamonds have poor variety and low value in the 4C standard. Because although milk coffee diamonds look very white, their texture is not thorough and somewhat cloudy, and their overall brown color tone can make the diamonds appear dull and affect their quality.
How to distinguish between cream diamonds and coffee diamonds
1. Cream Diamond
Milk appears as a white cloud like aggregate in diamonds, which may appear very white at first glance, but are not transparent and have a cloudy feeling.
The milk in diamonds does not have a significant impact on the clarity rating of diamonds. Although diamonds appear white overall, these inclusions inside the diamond are very small, and their presence cannot even be seen with a ten fold magnifying glass. Therefore, they will be considered high in judgment.
But milk has a significant impact on the value of diamonds, even if the diamond itself has a high level of clarity, color, etc., once it is considered a cream diamond, its value will be greatly reduced.
2. Coffee Diamond
Generally refers to diamonds with a brownish color scheme. Normal diamonds may have a slightly yellowish tone depending on their color grade, while coffee diamonds have a brownish tone.
How to distinguish milk coffee diamonds
Most diamond certificates do not indicate whether they are coffee diamonds or cream diamonds, so it is up to us consumers to judge for ourselves. When purchasing, we can distinguish them based on the properties of the milk coffee diamonds we have introduced above.
If the diamond you see feels very white, but not clear, cloudy, and the diamond fire color is not so dazzling, it is basically a cream diamond; If you see that a diamond is not just a transparent color, but has a slight brown tone, you can basically determine that it is a coffee diamond.
