Natural Yellow Diamonds

The price of a diamond, whether it's yellow or white, depends on several factors, including the 4Cs: Carat, Color, Clarity, and Cut.

In the case of white diamonds, the most valuable and expensive ones are those with little to no color, often referred to as "colorless" or "near-colorless" diamonds. With regards to yellow diamonds, the more intense and vivid the yellow shows, the more valuable it becomes.

Light to medium level yellow diamonds can offer excellent value for your money. They are often priced more affordably than colorless (white) diamonds of similar size and quality. This means you can get a larger or higher-quality yellow diamond for the same budget, making them an attractive option for those looking for a larger or more exquisite stone.

Yellow diamonds come in various types and classifications based on their color, intensity, and characteristics. The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) grades yellow diamonds on a scale that ranges from:

• Light Yellow (Closer to the "Z" end of the GIA's D-to-Z color scale)
• Fancy Light Yellow
• Fancy Yellow
• Fancy Intense Yellow
• Fancy Vivid Yellow
• Fancy Deep Yellow

Yellow diamonds can also have modifying colors that influence their overall appearance. For example, Yellow diamonds may be described as "Brownish Yellow," "Orangy Yellow," or "Greenish Yellow" when secondary hues or modifiers are present.

Descriptive terminology is often used to convey the distinctive hue of a yellow diamond. For example: Canary Yellow Diamonds, Lemon Yellow Diamonds, Golden Yellow Diamonds, or Neon Yellow Diamonds.

Within the realm of fancy colored diamonds, yellow diamonds are generally more affordable than some other colors like pink, blue, or green, but highly saturated and vivid yellow diamonds can still command high prices.

The value of yellow diamonds can vary significantly based on several factors, including the size, intensity, hue, clarity, and cut.

• Larger yellow diamonds are rarer and more valuable per carat than smaller ones.
• The intensity and purity of a yellow diamond plays a significant role in determining their value, with higher saturation levels like "Fancy Intense" or "Fancy Vivid" yellow diamonds commanding the highest prices.
• Yellow diamonds can also exhibit modifying colors that influence their overall appearance and value. Yellow diamonds with secondary colors, such as brown, orange, or green undertones, may have different price points based on the overall visual appeal and rarity of the color.
• Yellow diamonds with higher clarity grades are typically more valuable.
• The quality of a yellow diamond's cut affects its color dispersion, brilliance, and overall appeal. Additionally, certain specialty cuts and shapes will sell at a premium over more common ones.
