See the last graphic for reference on how I graded these. To maintain originality, I made the reference graphics with gems of my own design but it is based on GIA's color description system.
Photos were taken in daylight and under a microscope. The first four videos were taken in daylight with the sun overhead and a blue sky. The last few scenes in the fourth video are inside in passive lighting and under my overhead LED lights. The outdoor scenes in the fifth video were taken on an overcast day. Please review all the videos thoroughly.
