1. THE HARD FACTS

Naturally occurring Fancy Yellow, otherwise known as Canary Diamonds are absolutely fascinating.

Firstly, when referring to diamonds, “Fancy” isn’t simply an overused adjective, it’s the technical term for naturally occurring diamonds of colour, as outlined by the Gemological Institute of America, or GIA.

The next query that often presents itself is “Are yellow diamonds worth more than white diamonds? ...Vivid Fancy color diamonds are extremely rare and very valuable.” - GIA.

The simple reason for the value of Fancy Yellow diamonds is their rarity; for every 1,000 white diamonds mined, only 1 Fancy Yellow diamond is found. There are many other factors that influence worth; being mainly the classic 5c’s; cut, clarity, colour, carat & confidence. The only difference between the evaluation of a Fancy Yellow diamond and a white diamond is that generally, the more colour a yellow diamond contains the more valuable the stone, whereas the opposite is true for a white diamond. Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s peruse.

2. VINTAGE STYLE YELLOW DIAMOND RINGS

Looking for a piece that harks back to another era? Vintage style Fancy Yellow diamond rings are in high demand. The marriage of truly classical design with the finest, ethically sourced diamonds and virgin metals affords one the sentimentality of a vintage engagement ring, without any of the anxiety as to the ethical manner in which the elements were acquired, or concerns as to the overall structural integrity of the ring.

This Fancy Yellow three stone ring is a remarkable example of the aforementioned vintage style yellow diamond ring. And as is so evident, the sparkle of this oval yellow diamond is quite staggering. With two half moon white diamonds seemingly lifting the centre stone, this design finds the harmonious middle ground between statement and sophistication.

This Oval Fancy Yellow diamond ring simply dazzles with fire, brilliance and scintillation. This sun yellow oval cut diamond, set in 18K yellow gold, is complemented by pavé set white diamonds in 18K white gold.

If you’re searching for majesty, the Oval Shape Fancy Yellow diamond ring with pavé round brilliant diamonds is utterly resplendent.

Another inspired illustration of the vintage style is the Oval Fancy Yellow diamond ring. With six round, brilliant cut side diamonds, this setting has a regal, graceful appeal, all while emphasising the dazzling, morning sunlight emulated by the centre stone set in 18K yellow gold. And once again we have all the charm of a vintage piece, with none of the ethical and structural concerns.

It's the attention-to-detail that makes a Shimansky engagement ring; only the very finest diamonds qualify to be cut and polished into the classic brilliant cut, and our Oval Fancy Yellow diamond ring has six of these complementing the yellow diamond centre stone. The reason for this is twofold. Firstly, we do not compromise on quality, ever. And secondly, the fire, brilliance and scintillation of these diamonds needs to be consistent. That’s what makes it a Shimansky.

Our final vintage inspired exemplar and coupe de grace is the frankly astonishing five stone Oval Shape tube set ring with Fancy Yellow diamonds. This piece pays homage to past, but also serves as a paradigm as to what can be achieved when one combines classical design elements with contemporary techniques and the finest possible materials. But there’s more to Fancy Yellow diamonds than solely vintage appeal.

The innovative Fancy Yellow Oval Evolym diamond ring is simply breathtaking. This Shimansky original is a truly stunning example of a yellow diamond engagement ring designed to stand out. The ring shown features a scintillating 0.84ct oval solitaire diamond elegantly set between two outer bands and suspended above a micro set band. The tension setting unlocks the true brilliance of the diamond with a 360-degree exposure to light.

Designed to be noticed, our yellow diamond halo engagement rings are striking, bold and vivid. The Fancy Yellow halo diamond ring is meticulously crafted with a 1.02ct radiant cut diamond polished to reflect the light with your every movement. The centre stone, set in 18K yellow gold, is enhanced by a halo of micro set white diamonds around and on the shank set in 18K white gold, creates a shimmering display of dancing sunlight.

The pear-shape diamond cut, also referred to as the ‘teardrop shaped diamond’, has an elegant and elongated shape with an antique feel and a distinctive, romantic appearance.
