Marilyn Monroe knew it well: "Diamonds are a girl's best friend." And how could they not be? These beautiful stones not only look spectacular and catch everyone's eye, but they're also meant to last a lifetime. But did you know that canary or Fancy Yellow diamonds are the new favorites? This diamond color is trending, and we'll be seeing a lot of it in the coming years.
We've been taught that diamonds are often clear and colorless, but the reality is that in nature we can find many colors in this precious stone. Fancy Yellow diamonds are ten thousand times rarer than white diamonds, and they owe their color to the amount of nitrogen in their structure. The molecules of this element absorb blue light, giving the stone a yellow hue.
Like any white diamond, its value is determined by the four Cs (color, carat, clarity, cut). However, in fancy yellow diamonds, the greater the intensity of their yellow color, the greater their rarity and therefore their value. Thus, diamonds are classified according to their shade of yellow. This makes canary or fancy yellow diamonds, so named because their hue resembles that of a canary, the most desirable of all yellow diamonds, and therefore commands the highest price.
Generally, diamonds at the beginning of the scale contain the weakest shades of yellow and are classified as Light Yellow diamonds, and at the other end of the scale, diamonds containing the strongest shades of yellow are known as Fancy Yellow, and these have less trace of "white" color, and depending on the distribution and saturation of the color, the yellow is usually very uniform throughout the stone.
Sometimes the cut of a diamond enhances its color intensity, hence the importance of the correct cut and polish. This will help make its attributes more easily perceived. And speaking of cuts, one of the favorites for 2022 is the "heart" cut, undoubtedly a year full of romance and color, seen in engagement rings and jewelry.
