Everyone is familiar with the diamond - also known as a woman’s best friend. But diamonds, in fact, come in a large spectrum of colours. Yellow diamonds are just one of the many coloured varieties available. If you take a look at the very bottom of the white diamond colour grading scale there are traces of yellow, these are in fact yellow diamonds. The white diamond colour grading scale ranges from D-Z, whereas the yellow diamond grading scale begins within the Y-Z range and finishes with Fancy Deep Yellow and Fancy Vivid Yellow hues. The colour you choose for your yellow diamond engagement ring will most likely be based on your budget and your desired finish.
Yes and no. Coloured diamonds tend to be very expensive as a result of their rarity. It is worth pointing out that there are many factors to consider, when comparing price, such as the size, quality and hue of the diamond. Yellow diamond engagement rings can be affordable and sometimes even cost less than white diamond engagement rings. Larger yellow diamonds, however, tend to be more expensive than a white diamond of the same size as it is harder to find a larger coloured diamond. Similarly, yellow diamonds with a Fancy Intense Yellow or Fancy Vivid Yellow hue will always command higher prices than a white diamond.
If you are looking for a fancy coloured diamond for your engagement ring, yellow diamonds are considered one of the most popular choices. A yellow diamond engagement ring is a great option for those who like to stand out from the crowd or for those who are more fashion-forward.
Choosing the best yellow diamond engagement ring should be based on your personal preference, however, there are a few key points you may wish to consider. Yellow diamonds are graded differently to white diamonds and colour is considered to be the most important point. In general, yellow diamonds with a stronger colour are deemed the most desirable and therefore command the highest prices. As yellow diamonds are classed as a fancy colour they tend to be favoured more when cut into fancy shapes - such as a pear or cushion cut. You may also wish to consider the metal type you choose, as this can alter the overall appearance of your selected diamond.
Yellow diamond engagement rings can usually be found in all good jewellery stores. They can also be purchased online and yellow diamonds have seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years.
