Demantoid has a wide range of colors, and to simplify matters, we group them into four color grades:
Vivid Green
This grade represents the most valuable and sought-after demantoids. The color is a rich, deep green with no yellow or brown undertones. These stones exhibit exceptional green color, making them highly desirable for fine jewelry. The rarity and intensity of this color, combined with the demantoid’s inherent brilliance, make these stones the pinnacle of quality in demantoid garnets.
Medium Green
Demantoids in this grade have a bright green color with minimal yellow undertones. While not as rare as the top vivid green, they possess excellent brilliance and are highly prized. These stones often serve as an excellent alternative for those seeking high-quality demantoids without the premium price vivid green ones. The bright green hue is vibrant, offering a striking appearance in jewelry pieces.
Yellowish Green
This grade includes demantoids that show a bit of yellowish tints in their green color. This grade exhibits excellent brilliance and fire. The presence of yellow undertones can sometimes add a unique character to the stone, appealing to those who appreciate the diverse color palette of demantoid garnets. These stones are more accessible in terms of pricing, making them popular among collectors and jewelry enthusiasts.
Greenish Yellow
These demantoids have a predominant yellow or brown tint in their green color. They may also exhibit higher brilliance compared to higher-grade stones. Greenish yellow Demantoids can offer a distinctive look, often appealing to those who seek unusual and eye-catching gemstones for their collections.
