Lending against FANCY YELLOW DIAMONDS

Whereas jewellers of the past have sometimes undervalued fancy colored diamonds, they are increasingly gaining in popularity. Fancy yellow diamonds are now being incorporated into high-end jewelry by some of the most exclusive designers.

As fashion and demand drive the market, this means that your yellow diamonds are likely to command a high value if pawned or sold, whether they are sold on their own or set in jewelry.

Fancy yellow diamonds are very rare in nature, which means they can often command a higher price depending on the exact shade. Only around one in every 10,000 carats is naturally colored, and although yellow is the most common color to be found, it is still rare by any standards. In December 2018, a chicken egg-sized, 553-carat yellow diamond was discovered in North America, the largest such stone ever found, and Russian diamond group Alrosa have already said that colored diamonds will be highly sought-after in the coming years.

Assessing the value of a fancy yellow diamond can be complex. A very pale yellow shade will often be given a low price tag, but beyond a certain point, when the stone begins to take on a distinctive yellow hue, the diamond will be worth a considerable amount. If you choose to sell your fancy yellow diamonds, then all these things will be taken into consideration by the team at New Bond Street Pawnbrokers.

WHY ARE SOME DIAMONDS YELLOW?

The first image that comes to mind when we think of diamonds is a stone that is white and sparkling. This should not be surprising; not only are these the most common type of diamond used in jewelry, but this is also the sign of a chemically and structurally pure diamond.

However, things are sometimes made even more beautiful by their flaws. The inclusion of other minerals such as nitrogen in the structure of the diamond can lead to diamonds that are green, blue, yellow, or red.

FAMOUS FANCY YELLOW DIAMONDS

There have been several fancy yellow diamonds of great size, color, and cut. One of these is the 128.54 carat Tiffany Yellow Diamond, discovered in South Africa in 1878.

Another fancy yellow diamond with an interesting past is the 43.51 carat Golden Eye Diamond. This diamond was believed to have been discovered in South Africa, but its origins are unclear. In 2007 the diamond was seized by the US government as a result of the money laundering charges brought against the diamond’s owner.
