The color range for diamonds starts at D and goes to Z. Passing Z on the color range enters into yellow diamond territory. Remember that D is the highest in bright, white diamonds and Z would be more saturated. Once we get past Z, the fancy yellow diamond range begins from, fancy light, fancy, fancy intense, fancy vivid. The range begins from lightest yellow to most saturated yellow. The yellow color appears when there is a presence of nitrogen during the stone's formation.
You can definitely find a fancy yellow diamond of your own! Some will be more saturated in yellow than others and how yellow you like your diamond is completely your preference!
If you want to go a less traditional but eyecatching route for your engagement ring, a fancy yellow diamond is the perfect option to add a pop of sunshine to your ring. To allow the best saturation of yellow to display, fancy yellow diamonds come in specific cuts. Cushion cuts, radiant cuts, oval cuts and round brilliant diamond shapes are the most common to enhance the golden features.
Speaking of gold, the best metal to set your fancy yellow diamond would be in solid yellow gold. This best reflects the warmth in the diamond because of the surrounding warmth of the metal. This also applies to white diamonds, where setting whiter diamonds in platinum or white metals maintain a whiter brilliance throughout the ring.
