Diamond grading at a GIA laboratory

Silver Cape

Silver Cape is a type of diamond color taken from the old English method for defining diamond colors, which is disappearing today.

 

Silver Cape diamonds are light yellow, equivalent to L, K ranking, according to color parameters set by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA).

 

Generally, the English method defines a diamond’s colors according to the mines in which it was found. The name Silver Cape, based on this method, is derived from the “Cape” mines in South Africa which yield yellowish diamonds.
