Canary diamond rings

Canary diamond rings can be found in a variety of intensities. The most intense yellows were traditionally designated as canary. This is a very intense and pleasing deep yellow. They have always been more expensive than any white diamonds and especially so now, since diamonds with color have become more popular. Although almost all diamonds are white, diamonds do come in virtually all colors of the rainbow. Traditionally, the most common non white diamonds were of the yellow variety.

Within the yellow ranges, the less yellow color intensity the canary diamond rings display, the less expensive they become. The laboratories now have ranges of yellow saturations which tend to determine the price ranges. There is a point where the yellow saturation is so minimal that is best characterized as a yellowish non white diamond, and the pricing is actually cheaper than what a similar quality white diamond would be. Large yellowish diamonds that would simply be color graded in the m,n,o range on the GIA color gradining scale can really be rather attractive and in that sense are reasonable priced.

There are some who prefer yellow diamond rings who’s color is not natural but, has been induced intentionally. This can be done by subjecting the diamond to high temperatures, high pressure, or both. The appearance of the diamond is different than when the color occurs naturally, but some people may not be aware of this. Prices of yellow diamond rings where the color is not natural is less expensive than naturally colored diamond, and are less expensive than white diamonds. Naturally occurring colored diamonds as stated above come in all colors of the rainbow. Price levels are based upon color and attractiveness. It is not easy to generalize. But, it can be said that reds, and to some extent pinks, blues ( the hope diamond being the outstanding example) are expensive . Browns, blacks, greens, champagnes, and cognac are are very inexpensive. .
