Welcome to our site where we have provided many ideas and up to date information on yellow diamond engagement rings and other yellow, fancy or canary diamond jewellery pieces. As a discerning customer, you will want the best prices available.

Of course you want your engagement ring to be an extra special piece of jewellery that will be much loved and admired. It is becoming more popular to opt for colored diamonds rather than a tradition clear gemstone and yellow diamond engagement rings have been seen on the fingers of celebrities such as Paris Hilton and Heidi Klum. The largest diamond in the world is yellow; the Kimberly Octahedron is huge at over 600 carats and perhaps you have heard of the Tiffany yellow diamond (as shown in video below)which is a truly beautifully cut diamond at 128 carats in size.

Natural yellow diamonds are extremely rare and most jewellers will never see one. The ones commonly available for use in jewellery are always specially enhanced diamonds. These are subject to various highly technical processes to increase color vibrancy many times over. Only small percentages are suitable for this process. The yellow color is derived from levels of nitrogen naturally present within the crystal.
After treatment a diamond can range from a pale lemon, through canary to a deep marmalade.

Why should you get so excited about yellow diamonds, when you could opt for citrines, topaz, or yellow sapphires instead? The best yellow sapphires are quite costly, and do not possess the sparkle that yellow diamonds have in abundance. In addition, sapphires, although very hard crystals, are no match for the high durability and strength of the diamond - being the most robust allotrope of carbon, they are almost indestructible, which adds to their ‘diamonds are forever’ appeal!

The Solitaire: Solitaires (single stones) are a classic, and the first choice of most women, especially as engagement rings. You will find some stunning designs and a good choice of
styles, gemstone sizes and colors when opting for solitaire yellow diamond engagement rings. Rings are mounted in yellow gold, white gold or platinum.

3 and 5 Stone set: Three and five stone rings are also very popular as engagement rings and tend to contain a ‘principal gemstone’ flanked by two or four smaller stones. The stones may be all yellow stones or often will be mixed with plain or other colored diamonds to produce a rainbow effect.

The Cluster: More often this is a dress ring, but will work beautifully as an engagement ring. A cluster consists of more than 5 stones usually all similar in size and can have many tiny diamonds, either all yellow, yellow and clear or multi colored effects.

Which ever type you choose, beautiful yellow diamond engagement rings are stunning items of jewellery, guaranteed to produce ring envy amongst friends and will bring a lifetime of joy and pleasure to the wearer.
