Determining a natural fancy yellow diamond's value
Diamonds that fall within the colourless index are valued for their absence of colour, as completely colourless diamonds are very rare. Colourless diamonds come in varying shades of white to yellow, and diamonds with slight traces of yellow or brown hues are significantly lower in value than those diamonds considered nearly colourless.
The more rare a diamond, the higher its value. For every 10 000 nearly colourless diamonds mined, only one natural fancy colour diamond will be discovered. They are mostly found as small diamonds, less than a carat in weight.
White or colourless diamonds are graded on a colour scale from D, the closest to colourless, to Z, heavily tinted yellow. It’s important to remember that a white diamond with a yellow tint or a Z colour grading is not the same as a natural fancy yellow diamond. A natural fancy yellow diamond’s colour is much deeper, more intense and vivid than that of a Z-coloured white diamond.

Fancy Yellow Diamonds
Natural fancy colour diamonds fall outside of this grading spectrum, and are graded according to the intensity of their colour. Not all fancy coloured diamonds have the same depth of colour, and the more vivid the colour of the stone, the higher its value. Colour is the most important factor to consider when purchasing a fancy yellow diamond: even those that have a slightly lower clarity grade because of inclusions will be highly valued for their attractive colour.
Natural fancy colour diamonds are formed when there is a presence of trace elements that interact with carbon atoms during the creation of the diamond. When this happens, the typical diamond crystal is distorted and the diamond’s colour can change. In the case of fancy yellow diamonds, the presence of nitrogen is the cause of the yellow colour. The nitrogen in natural fancy yellow coloured diamonds absorbs colour, giving them their yellow hue.
