If you have questions about diamond colors, rare hues or how subtle tints behave in different lighting, I’m always happy to help. My name is Leaf Riverhaze and I manage the Diamond Color Dictionary here on FreelyReceive.net. This project grew from years of studying color grading across different global markets and seeing how shoppers often misunderstand the nuances behind color terminology.
Although I am originally from the United States, a significant part of my professional journey was shaped in Singapore. I spent nearly a decade there consulting for boutique jewelers and observing how Southeast Asian buyers interpret color differently from American or European customers. Those experiences influenced the way I write and the way I categorize color information on this site.
Working closely with jewelers in Singapore also gave me access to hundreds of high-clarity stones and vivid colored diamonds. Many of the color descriptors that I use here were refined in real-world showroom settings, where small shifts in saturation can change the perceived value of a stone dramatically.
If you run a jewelry store or an online shop and want clarity on color terminology, feel free to reach out. I frequently consult for retailers who need help communicating color grades to their customers in a way that is clear, honest and easy to understand. Even a small adjustment in how color is presented can increase buyer confidence significantly.
I also welcome questions from private buyers. Whether you’re choosing between an F and a G color stone or trying to understand how fluorescence influences appearance, you can send me a message anytime. I enjoy helping people make confident decisions without feeling overwhelmed by technical jargon.
This site is a quiet and focused space, so I try to respond personally to every message. Please allow me a little time to reply, especially if you are asking for help with a specific stone, comparison, or color match. Detailed answers often require thoughtful review.
If you discovered the Diamond Color Dictionary while researching for an engagement ring, congratulations on the journey ahead. Many readers reach out during this stage, and I always do my best to provide clear and neutral guidance. Color selection is one of the most personal decisions in diamond buying.
For editors, writers, or bloggers who want to reference or quote definitions from the Diamond Color Dictionary, feel free to contact me for permission or additional context. I can also help verify older color terms or industry phrases that may not be widely used today but still appear in vintage documentation.
If you are a jeweler looking for tailored descriptions for your product pages, I offer limited consulting slots each month. Well-written color explanations can significantly reduce customer hesitation and improve conversion rates, especially for stones in the near-colorless range.
For those curious about my background, my years in Singapore taught me to respect the way different cultures see color. Local markets often respond strongly to certain hues, especially in the G to J range, where the warmth begins to interact more noticeably with skin tones and metals. This multicultural exposure informs every definition and explanation I publish here.
If your question involves a specific stone from an online retailer, feel free to include the link in your message. I can usually offer a clearer interpretation of the color grade once I see the imagery, lighting environment, and video conditions used by the seller.
And finally, if you just want to say hello or share what brought you here, I always appreciate hearing from readers. Your messages help shape the direction of the Diamond Color Dictionary and keep this little project both grounded and useful.
