Yellow Diamonds

For that Statement Piece Consider a Fancy Yellow Diamond

Fancy yellow diamonds, also known as canary diamonds, are beautiful in their own right and can make a stunning alternative to the traditional white diamond engagement ring. Yellow canary diamonds are extremely rare and graded according to the saturation of colour in the diamond. The deeper or brighter the colour, the more valuable they are. Yellow diamonds have gained popularity over the past few years, with many people choosing this beautiful and unique coloured diamond to mark a special occasion.

Yellow diamonds are graded under seven different colour grades:

• Faint
• Very light
• Light
• Fancy Light
• Fancy
• Fancy intense
• Fancy vivid
• Fancy deep

Other fancy coloured diamonds such as pink and blue are extremely rare and therefore very expensive in comparison.

Yellow diamonds come in a variety of shapes and look amazing standing alone or with white diamonds on the sides or in a halo to contrast and highlight the yellow colour.

Yellow diamonds are often set in yellow gold and a modern approach is to use a mix of gold colours if you have white diamonds in the setting.  This also helps to highlight the colour and gives a more dramatic and unique effect.
