Canary Yellow Diamonds

Welcome to our dedicated yellow, canary and other fancy diamond site where you will find information and suppliers of the best quality yellow diamond jewellery in any shade or color, for special jewelry or investment purposes.

Canary yellow diamonds are a wise choice for an investment and hold almost the same value and rank in the hierarchy of jewels as the clear diamonds. Canary yellow diamonds are not only very beautiful but they are also highly individual and unusual gems. A canary is so named after the dear little canary bird's bright plummage and they are fancy yellow diamonds.

What are Fancy Yellows?

The term fancy yellows refers to the range or spectrum of color and tone these gems are categorised within. The fancy diamonds range from light fancy yellow through to deep marmalade. Canary yellow diamonds are known as intense or vivid yellow diamonds which are sub categories of fancy yellows. They are also known commonly as 'canaries' or 'lemon drop' diamonds.

Are Canary Yellow Diamonds Natural?

These diamonds are usually enhanced by a physical process to bring out and deepen the tonal colorisation of the gems. Natural canary yellow diamonds are actually so rare that most people, even jewellers themselves have not and are unlikely to ever see one. A diamond can have a faint yellow color when mined, which may or may not be suitable for the enhancement process. This rarity of suitable yellow gems is equal to that of pure clear diamonds. There are some famous yellow gems; the "Tiffany diamond" and the "Kimberly Octahedron" which are both large intense and vivid diamonds.

Where Do They Come From?

Diamonds were created within the deep layers of the earth many millions of years ago and have beem brought to the surface by volcanic action which forced them up within the magma, which subsequently hardened and from which many years later they are eventually mined.

If you are to buy canary yellow diamonds for a gift, for a special piece of jewelry or simply to keep for an investment, then you will surely be rewarded for such a good investment in the future and obtain much enjoyment from these stones in the period you own them.
