Graded S-T for color, the diamond does show a subtle hint of warmth, as is typical for old European cuts. Part of its antique charm, the subtle color is typical of antique diamonds due to the locations of the early mines in the Cape region back when London and Antwerp were the center of the diamond trading world. On the face up, the diamonds sparkle reflects white light and helps to mask the subtle color. Set in yellow or rose gold, the very subtle warmth would blend beautifully, and the diamond would appear brighter in contrast.
