Look past Z 
color scale in GIA’s 
color grading, and you would have a 
diamond with Fancy Vivid Yellow 
color. In other words, natural yellow 
diamonds are saturated with the said 
color, which have no traces of whiteness.
Assessing yellow 
diamonds’ color is not an easy task. Each 
color graded 
diamond falls under a scale that ranges from Faint to Fancy Dark. For instance, it is possible to find Fancy Yellow 
diamond that just made it over Fancy Light 
color scale. Besides, it is possible to find the 
gemstone that missed the cutoff into Fancy Intense 
color grade.
That is why it is recommended to buy 
loose diamonds from vendors that provide the best possible 
diamond image quality. This will make it easier for you to decide which Fancy Yellow 
diamond is more valuable, and which one is more beautiful. It will also help if you are planning to custom make your 
ring with the 
loose diamond.
Canary Yellow 
diamonds are comparatively common to other Fancy 
colored 

sparklers. However, owing to the commonness of Fancy Yellow 
diamonds, they can be affordable. They will price similar to I 
color graded white
 diamonds with comparable 
carat weight and 
clarity grade. Regardless, if you want a 
radiant fancy yellow 
diamond engagement ring, then make sure the center stone is encircled by a white 
diamond halo and is mounted on a 
platinum band.
