About Yellow Diamond
Among the naturally-grown colored diamonds, the Yellow Diamond is distinctive and rare. It is available in various shades ranging from pale yellow hue to intensely rich ‘canary’ yellow color. There are ‘orangey’ yellow diamonds and “marmalade” yellow diamonds as well. According to the GIA’s fancy diamond color classifications, yellow diamonds are categorized on the basis of richness of colors and saturation which include nine distinct grades ranging from the ‘faint’ to intense or ‘vivid’.
Yellow Diamonds rank second on the popularity chart and are as expensive as White Diamonds. They also command premium prices when compared to other fancy colored diamonds. The pricing of Yellow Diamond depends on coloration, availability, clarity and use. It is observed that more intense is the color, more precious is the stone. Further, because of its limited natural reserve, a Yellow Diamond can cost you a fortune.
