Canary Diamond Ring

Hello and welcome to our dedicated yellow diamond site where you will find information and suppliers of yellow diamond jewellery for a pale colored, fancy or canary diamond ring for that special someone.

A canary diamond (named after the canary bird for its vivid colorings), is a special pure bright yellow gemstone. When mounted and set in a precious metal will provide you with a canary diamond ring to be proud of with its clean fresh color and beautiful characteristics. 

What is a Canary Diamond?
It is important to note that a canary diamond is not just any yellow gemstone, it is a certain bright, untainted color with no hint of red, brown or green which may darken the stones purity. Natural canary diamonds are one of the rarest type of yellow diamonds, and the most sought after shade of fancy colored diamonds (which is the most vivid end of the color spectrum for any colored diamond gemstones).

Nitrogen is the element responsible for the natural yellow tint forming in the carbon crystal and a greater concentration is necessary for the strong canary tint. 

Sometimes canaries are referred to as lemon drop stones, as they have a touch of the sweet candy droplet about them, but beyond the cute names associated with these stones, there is a deep underlying symbolism for these gems and strong reasons for choosing a canary diamond ring.

The Meaning of the Color Yellow
All gemstones can be perceived as symbolic of love and eternal feeling and commitment, as they are valuable, beautiful, enduring and timeless, however adding yellow to the equation deepens the meaning further. Yellow means happiness, cheerfulness, a bright sunny outlook, joy, and prosperity.   It is an ideal color choice for a loved one, for any reason, due to these poignant factors.  The popularity of such a color diamond is growing and certain very well known celebrities have a canary diamond ring in their possession.

What Style to Choose For Your Canary Diamond Ring
Whatever the reason, whether you or the intended owner of such a ring just love yellow or for deeply held emotional reasons, a canary diamond ring is a stunning option for a betrothal ring. To display the brilliance of the yellow color to its best effect, you can choose a setting and design that highlights the gemstones beauty without overshadowing or darkening the stone.
 
Best Settings - Open and clear settings which allow full light penetration from all angles are the best; such as Tiffany classic or Tension settings.
Close settings such a bezel or channel are less suitable because they enclose far more of the gem and can dull its color, but on the other hand they can be helpful for concealing minor flaws in stones. Generally speaking the choice is a personal one and if you like bezel or channel designs then there is no need to be too purist about it.

Which Metal to Choose - Many people will opt for yellow gold, thinking it matches or enhances their canary diamond, but actually it will dilute the gemstone and make it appear less contrasting and brilliant. White gold or platinum are far better as their lack of color accentuates the canary yellow very well. Again, this is a personal choice and if you like yellow gold for your jewellery as this will match your other items, then  there is nothing stopping you from choosing yellow gold!

Accenting with companion stones - Using tiny diamonds or other colored companion gemstones  can boost the effect of a canary diamond ring even further.
Affordability - Perhaps you even prefer to have the canary gems as accents to a principal colorless diamond? A pure yellow diamond ring can be far more expensive than a normal diamond ring and by using them as an accent stone, the ring you choose will become more affordable.

Alternative Gems - As mentioned, owning a pure canary diamond ring can be very costly and if this is an issue you can choose other gems with similarly bright yellow tones; yellow sapphires, citrines, tourmalines, topaz, to name a few. They do not possess the oppulence and pizzazz of the yellow diamond, but are still beautiful in their own right and good substitutes.

Owning a canary diamond ring is a wise investment and provides the brightest variation of the yellow diamond shades. Choose the style carefully, as less is definitely more!  This piece of jewellery will be a show stopper and will provide the wearer with a lifetime of spectacular good looks.
