Yellow Diamond Rings

Yellow diamonds appear yellow because of the presence of nitrogen. The intensity of the yellow colour is dependent upon the amount of nitrogen in the stone. The more nitrogen, the more yellow the diamond appears. The paler yellow diamonds are more common, and the more intense yellow are called fancy yellow diamonds and are rarer and much more valuable.

The presence of nitrogen causes a diamond to appear yellow. The intensity of the yellow colour is dependent upon varying amounts of nitrogen. Pale yellow diamonds fall within the diamond colour grading scale and they only become 'fancy' when they are more colourful than Z on the scale. Yellow diamonds are often cut in fancy shapes, like the radiant cut, because a diamond’s cut can have a noticeable impact on its apparent color when viewed from above. The colour will also be influence by the setting, as a yellow gold setting will make the stone appear more yellow.
