A yellow diamond’s natural coloring comes from the presence of nitrogen molecules within its composition. Unlike white diamonds, where the best quality diamonds are the most colorless; yellow diamonds rise quickly in value in accordance with the amount of coloring they possess.

The deeper the shade of yellow - the rarer, and more desirable it becomes.

Kensington Diamonds does not select 'Fancy Light Yellow' diamonds as we feel the coloring is not pronounced enough for our high standards.

We hand select our clients 'Fancy Yellow', 'Fancy Intense Yellow' or 'Fancy Vivid Yellow' diamonds (as graded by the GIA):

Our recommendation would be 'Fancy Intense Yellow' - which possess a wonderfully deep natural coloring. Depending on availability, they are usually priced 30-40% higher than a D-F colored white diamond.

'Fancy Vivid Yellow' diamonds possess an even darker and more pronounced yellow coloring, however they are exceptionally rare. Due to their difficulty to source, especially in larger carat sizes - their prices are significantly higher.

People love yellow diamonds largely for one reason - scarcity.

An excellently cut and polished fancy intense or vivid yellow diamond is very rare to come by; so much so that frequently it can be difficult even for us to obtain them for our jewellery collections.

This is why we do not stock yellow diamonds in our online inventory. Instead we work closely with our our suppliers across the world, until we can find your perfect match.
