Faint Brown Diamonds — Page 32

Faint Brown is the lightest brown notation GIA prints beside a D-to-Z colour letter, on these pages mostly K to N. It is the grade most shoppers mean by “light champagne”. It is a different grade from Very Light Brown and Light Brown, which sit deeper on the same scale, and none of the three is a fancy grade: a stone graded Fancy Light Brown or Fancy Brown has no colour letter at all and is priced as a coloured diamond.
