Yellow Diamond Knowledge

Yellow diamonds currently possess the highest market demand of all other colored diamonds in the market. They have become one of the most adaptive fashion trends this decade. One of the most significant trend changing factors is famous celebrities flaunting their Yellow Diamond Jewelry, therefore rapidly increasing their popularity. Furthermore, their extreme rarities and unique characteristics have made them more desirable. The Recent Oscars has been the Host for the Natural Yellow Diamond Necklaces worn by Hollywood Celebrity Lady Gaga.

Yellow diamonds are a variety of colored diamonds. Many people are unaware that the precious diamond actually comes in many different colors and are not just colorless. Yellow diamonds are just one of the many types of colored diamonds. Interestingly enough, diamonds found at the very bottom of the colorless color grading scale contain traces of yellow, and are the “bottom” diamonds in the yellow diamond category due to their faint color, as opposed to the more desirable intense yellow stones. The colorless grading scale goes from D-Z, and the yellow diamond color grading scale begins with the Y-Z range. It then goes all the way to the Fancy Deep/Dark Yellow grade.

Like other natural fancy colored diamonds, the colors are a result of the compound element within the structure of the stone. The stones with a stronger yellow hue are often the result of more Nitrogen in the mix. They are 100% real, and absolutely beautiful to watch and Wear.

These stones are formed over millions and millions of years. What causes the yellow coloring is the addition of Nitrogen within the compound element in the stone. The diamonds were formed in extremely high temperatures and immense pressure far below the surface of the earth. Once extracted, a diamond polisher who fully understand how to asses, cut, and polis the stone, will transform it from the rough it was into the unbelievable beauty we see in the Jewelry stores.

Comparison of Yellow Diamonds with Colorless Diamonds / White Diamonds with Respect to Expensiveness.

Though colored diamonds can be rather expensive as a result of their rarity, yellow diamonds can be quite affordable and sometimes cost less than a colorless diamond of the same quality. As explained above, the “bottom” yellow diamonds are also the “bottom” colorless diamonds, so a diamond with a lighter yellow coloring such as Fancy Yellow will be less expensive than a colorless diamond of the same quality. Having said that, a Fancy Intense Yellow diamond or a Fancy Vivid Yellow diamond will cost more than a colorless diamond.

One of the greatest benefits of natural yellow diamonds, other than the fact that they are so unique, different, and beautiful, is that they have a lower price per carat than most of the other colors that are found! The diamond characteristics that have the greatest effect to the price of the stone are the actual color and the intensity in which it shines. A yellow diamond with a fancy light yellow color or even a fancy yellow color is cheaper per carat than most other color with a similar intensity grade. If the stone has a high intensity grade it will surpass the price per carat of a white diamond, but it will still definitely be less expensive than a similar blue, green, pink or red diamond.

There are actually a number of 'nicknames' that yellow diamonds have developed over time. Many refer to yellow diamonds as Canary, as in a Canary Yellow Diamond, and some use the name Zimmy.

A Canary yellow diamond actually refers to only a yellow stone with a very rich, high intensity (fancy intense yellow or fancy vivid yellow).

The term Zimmy on the other hand, which is also thrown around quite often when talking about a vivid yellow with a deeper hue, actually refers to extra ordinary vivid yellow diamonds which originated from the Zimmy mine, which is located in Sierra Leone. The color of these Zimmy stones make other yellows look rather weak in comparison.

Colored diamonds are considered the rarest gemstones on earth. However, of the colored diamond family, yellow and Brown diamonds are considered the most common. They are far rarer than colorless stones, which makes them quite unique.
