All About Fancy Yellow Diamond Engagement Rings
If you are looking for a unique and eye-catching engagement ring, consider a fancy yellow diamond as the central stone. According to color psychology, the color yellow symbolizes optimism, energy and happiness so it is an extremely positive color to wear on a regular basis.

With secondary colors such as brown, green and orange, and an intensity scale ranging from faint and light to fancy deep, fancy intense and fancy vivid, there is a fancy yellow diamond in a shade to suit every taste and complexion. The secondary colors can add a richness and warmth to the yellow shade, although the rarest and most prized of the fancy yellow diamonds is the Fancy Intense Yellow, also known as the Canary Diamond because of their pure clear yellow shade.

Fancy yellow diamonds achieve their colour from nitrogen molecules which absorb blue light. While they are the most common category of fancy coloured diamonds, fancy yellow diamonds are still rare. So you can add a highly individual touch of color to a classic engagement ring design at a more affordable price than with other fancy colored diamonds.

You can enhance the effect of the color by setting the fancy yellow diamond in a white gold ring, creating a strong contrast. Another way to create a contrast is to set other gems such as white diamonds alongside the yellow diamond or around it. Fancy yellow diamonds are generally more popular as central stones than side stones as it can be difficult to source two fancy yellow diamonds of exactly the same shade. However, we can help you source a matching pair of fancy yellow diamonds to use as side stones if that is your preferred design. The most popular shape for a fancy yellow diamond is the oval, as this cut is generally found to enhance the natural color more than the round shape. The Asscher and Emerald cuts are also particularly effective as the step facets enhance the transparency and clarity of the fancy yellow diamond.
