Yellow Diamond Grading Scale Executive Summary about Yellow Diamond by Anne Moss Rogers

The prices of colored diamonds depend on the saturation of color. Yellow diamonds are graded face up. White diamonds are graded face down. The GIA assigns a grade and pricing depends on the color, the cut, the clarity and the carat weight.

The wide variations on this theoretical guide are due to the range of colors within each of these grades and the diamond’s cut amplifies the natural body color. There are also comments on a GIA that can knock the price down like a grade of “uneven color”. Sometimes this is obvious, sometimes it’s not. The unobvious ones are going to be a good buy.

There are also “qualifiers” and they are not even part of the scale, but do make the pricing even more complicated. Qualifiers like brownish yellow, yellowish brown or fancy orange-brown yellow for instance. The word “fancy” on a GIA report equals premium pricing, by the way. The split grades (W-X, Y-Z) are more affordable but still distinctly yellow, particularly once set. Many prefer the lighter yellows and think they sparkle more.
