The first yellow diamond was discovered in South Africa by a teenager playing in the grass. It was named the Eureka Diamond. After brown, the yellow diamond is the most common fancy colored diamond and is the most affordable. The golden glow of yellow diamonds, also called canary diamonds, is formed when nitrogen is present during formation.
Like other fancy colored diamonds, the range of shades goes from subtle to dramatic, with intense hues considered more desirable. There are a few ways to obtain one. The rarest yellow diamonds are formed in nature, with the most variety of shades and hue intensities. With a natural diamond, if you have a particular shade in mind, be prepared to pay more. Another way is to ask for a natural, white color diamond that is treated to be yellow. And another way is to buy a lab-grown yellow diamond, available in many shades that are closer to their natural counterparts, but significantly less expensive.
