Canary yellow diamonds are no longer graded as “canary.” They are graded simply as a fancy yellow diamond. In the past, however, this name has been given to natural diamonds that have a yellow color. This color is due to the presence of nitrogen in the structure of the crystal. There is not just one yellow hue. Gemological Institute of America (GIA) has given a list of nine natural color grades for these diamonds.

The grades for canary yellow diamonds, in order from the least to the most valuable are:

• Faint
• Very Light
• Light
• Light Fancy
• Fancy
• Fancy Intense
• Fancy Deep
• Fancy Dark
• Fancy Vivid

The most popular hues are the fancy intense and fancy vivid. The natural yellow diamond is only referred to as canary yellow when the color is vivid and intense, and the stone is properly graded. In the past some low quality stones have been improperly labeled as canary yellow. The only way to ensure that your diamond is a genuine, natural fancy yellow diamond is by having the stone assessed by GIA and getting a report of the origin of color.

Buying wholesale yellow diamonds can be a great way to get a beautiful diamond ring at a lower price than you would normally pay. It is very important, especially when buying wholesale diamonds, that you make sure the company is reputable and that the stones that you buy are GIA certified. Ask questions, do some research, and check the company's return policy. Always ensure that you are getting a deal and not a dud.
