The first yellow diamond was found in South Africa by a teenager playing in the grass. It was named the Eureka Diamond. Fine yellow diamonds are often described as canary diamonds and get their color from the presence of nitrogen. Even white diamonds generally have a small hint of yellow in them, and those with color beyond the range of Z are graded on their own fancy-colored diamond scale.
The deeper and purer the hue, the more valuable the stone. The rarest yellow diamonds are formed in nature, with the most variety of shades and hue intensities. After brown, yellow is the next most common fancy colored diamond and the most affordable of all fancy colors.
