Yellow Color Enhanced Diamond Jewelry Buying Tips

It is no wonder that yellow is one of the most requested colors in diamond jewelry. The warm color radiate lightness and positivity. You cannot help but feel joyful when you wear a piece of jewelry made with such a sunny disposition! Jewelry made from natural fancy yellow diamonds are extremely expensive but yellow color enhanced diamonds can make everyone shine.

What Makes Diamonds Yellow?

Natural fancy yellow diamonds get their color from the presence of nitrogen. The stone looks yellow because the nitrogen molecules absorb blue light. The more nitrogen molecules are present in the diamond, the darker the yellow color.

If you have done your diamond education homework, you will know that white diamonds are graded by color. A 100% colorless diamond will get the highest grade of D. Lower color graded diamonds such as X, Y and Z all have a yellow or brown tint caused by a minute amount of nitrogen. It are these lower color-graded diamonds that are excellent candidates for color enhancement.

Are Color Enhanced Diamonds Natural?

Yes, all color enhanced diamonds are earth mined and have the same beautiful reflective index as any other natural diamond. Every single stone is unique in its special own way.

Only the color enhancement itself takes place in a laboratory. Most of the yellow color enhanced diamond jewelry sold at CaratsDirect2U have undergone a process known as irradiation. You can read more about the process in our Diamond Education section under the Everything about Irradiated Diamonds article or the HPHT and Irradiated Treated Diamonds vs Color Coated Diamonds article.

Yellow Color Enhanced Diamond Jewelry Buying Tips

Tips and advice if you are thinking of buying yellow color enhanced diamond jewelry.

  1. Be aware of reasonably prized “natural” fancy yellow diamond jewelry. It should be mentioned if a diamond has undergone any type of enhancement.
  2. Be sure that you really want to own a piece of yellow diamond jewelry because this is going to be a very long relationship! Diamonds are indeed forever and the irradiation process is irreversible.
  3. Try and buy the highest clarity yellow diamond that you can afford because flaws are easier visible in the lighter color.
  4. Consider buying your diamond jewelry online. CaratsDirect2u offers our customers a 30-day no-questions-asked return policy. You can take your time examining the piece of jewelry and try it on with every single outfit in your cupboard!
