Can most people tell the difference between a “J” colored diamond engagement ring and an “I” colored one?
Today’s Einstein asked:
I’m wondering if the color difference is noticeable with the naked eye, while the diamond is separate from other diamonds.

No, most people would not be able to tell just by looking at a single diamond not compared to others, especially as you are talking about such a slight difference in colour grading that you get between I and J. (However you always find some people who are experts and will be able to tell)

no you cant tell

Are you serious. No they can’t can you?

Most won’t be able to tell.
Probably a good idea to have a yellow gold mount. That will further camouflage the slight bit of colour in an I or J stone.

G/H/I/J will all look virtually the same to the naked eye. Since they are nearly colorless I think you can have any color setting you want.

YES! J is when you will start to see yellow in a stone, even more so if it is set in white metal like white gold or platinum. I have worked in a jewelry store for a long time and I would never buy a diamond with a color below an I. Most diamonds with a color of I will not show any yellow, but you will def. see it in a J color stone. If that doesn’t bother you go for it, otherwise try to find a stone with better color. There is a reason places like Tiffany’s will not carry stones with a color grade lower than an I.
