What Is A Yellow Diamond?

Hello, gem enthusiasts and jewelry lovers! Today, we’re diving into the vibrant world of yellow diamonds. These radiant gems are not just a symbol of luxury, but they also tell an enchanting story of nature’s artistry. Let’s embark on this glittering journey together and discover the allure of yellow diamonds, a specialty of The Diamond Guys.

Understanding Yellow Diamonds

Yellow diamonds, a unique spectacle in the world of gemstones, owe their charming hues to the presence of nitrogen molecules. This natural occurrence happens deep within the Earth, crafting each yellow diamond into a captivating narrative of time and transformation.

Types of Yellow Diamonds

Yellow diamonds come in a variety of shades, each with its own unique appeal. The main types of yellow diamonds are categorized based on the intensity of their color. Here are the common types, typically classified from lightest to darkest:

 

  • Faint Yellow: These diamonds have a very subtle yellow tint, noticeable yet not dominant. They offer a gentle hint of color.
  • Very Light Yellow: A step above faint yellow, these diamonds display a more noticeable yellow hue, yet it’s still quite subdued.
  • Light Yellow: These diamonds exhibit a clearer yellow color, which is more easily seen but is not intensely saturated.
  • Fancy Light Yellow: The yellow in these diamonds is more pronounced. They are noticeably yellow to the naked eye but not deeply colored.
  • Fancy Yellow: Often referred to as just “fancy yellow,” these diamonds show a rich, pure yellow color. This category is what many people think of when they imagine a yellow diamond.
  • Fancy Intense Yellow: These diamonds boast a very deep and vibrant yellow color. They are quite striking and more saturated than the fancy yellow category.
  • Fancy Vivid Yellow: The most saturated and color-rich of all, fancy vivid yellow diamonds are exceptionally rare and highly sought after. Their color is deep and vibrant, often referred to as “canary yellow.”
  • Fancy Deep or Dark Yellow: These diamonds have an extremely deep yellow color, sometimes with a secondary tone like brown, which adds depth and richness to the hue.
