Beauty

Without a doubt, the yellow diamond is one of the most stunning diamonds on the market. With a range of grades from the fancy light yellow (carrying a subtle yellow hue) to the more enriched vivid yellow (carrying a bright yellow sheen). The beauty of the yellow diamond furthers a brilliant contrast to other precious gemstones, ranging from white diamonds to sapphires.

Investment opportunity

Although the yellow diamonds currently take 60% of the current markets coloured diamonds – the fact remains that yellow diamonds remain quite rare. Because of this, the value of yellow diamonds has stayed steady over the years - with current valuations of a high grade, one-carat yellow diamond estimated to be over five thousand dollars.

Compared to the economic fluctuations that the stock market has seen over the years – yellow diamonds remain a substantial investment.
