Yellow
diamonds are often referred to as "Canary" diamonds- although we hesitate to
use the term because of the lack of descriptiveness. Shown below are the
range of diamonds that sellers might refer to as "Canary Diamonds"
Remember, the
deeper the yellow color, the more valuable it is.
To
determine a Fancy Colored Diamond's value, we must remember that within each
grade is a variation. A very dark Fancy Yellow may be almost identical in
color to a very light Fancy Intense Yellow. This all goes into determining
value.
All the
diamonds below were graded by GIA, and at one time offered in our eBay
store.
