What Makes a Diamond Yellow?
A trace of nitrogen in the crystal gives a diamond its yellow colour. In white diamonds it is the reason for a faint tint; with more of it, the diamond becomes a Fancy yellow. The richest, purest yellows are often called "canary" diamonds.
Natural or Lab Grown Yellow
Natural yellow diamonds are the most affordable natural coloured diamonds, and a Fancy Intense or Fancy Vivid yellow is a striking stone. Lab grown yellows give a deep, even colour for even less. Compare the stones in our yellow lab grown diamond search or the coloured natural diamonds.
Shapes and Settings
Yellow diamonds are often cut as radiants and cushions, which hold colour well and make the yellow look deeper. A halo of white diamonds around a yellow centre makes the colour pop and the stone look larger. A simple solitaire lets a strong canary yellow speak for itself.
The Best Metal for a Yellow Diamond
Set a yellow diamond in yellow gold and the colour looks richer, because the metal reflects into the stone. A popular choice is a platinum band with an 18ct yellow gold head: the claws boost the yellow while the band stays white and matches a white wedding ring.
How It Works
Choose a setting below and it opens with the yellow diamond already selected, so the 3D view and pictures show the ring as it will look. Pick natural or lab grown, then choose your centre stone from our live stock of certified coloured diamonds, each shown with its own photo and grading report. You can switch metal on the ring page at any time.
