Yellow Diamond

A yellow diamond is a rare natural diamond with a yellow coloration, prized for its unique hue and brilliance.

Part of speech: noun
Definition: Yellow diamonds, often referred to as 'canary diamonds,' obtain their distinct color from nitrogen molecules absorbed during their formation beneath the Earth's surface. The presence of nitrogen in the crystal structure interferes with the absorption of light, causing the diamond to emit a beautiful yellow hue. These diamonds come in a range of shades from light yellow to a rich, vivid yellow, sometimes deepening to an orangey hue. The value of a yellow diamond can vary significantly based on its intensity of color, with deeper, more intense yellow colors generally being more prized. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, yellow diamonds are becoming increasingly popular in jewelry, particularly engagement rings, for those seeking a unique and meaningful alternative to traditional white diamonds.
