Yellow and Canary Diamonds in Grand Cayman

Yellow is the most sought-after of the fancy colours and the one people most often come in asking for by name. The grades run from faint through fancy light, fancy and fancy intense to fancy vivid, and the jump in price between those steps is steep, because the colour has to be present in the stone rather than added to it.

Setting decides how strong the yellow reads. In yellow gold the stone looks warm and integrated; in white metal the contrast makes the same diamond appear noticeably more saturated. A surround of small white diamonds is the traditional way to push the colour further still.

Every yellow diamond we sell is GIA-certified, and the report states the colour grade and confirms the colour is natural. That matters more in fancy colour than anywhere else in diamond buying.
