Fancy Yellow " Canary Diamond"..

Yellow is one of the most familiar names known to a large segment of general public besides white "colorless" diamonds. Canary is another name widely used in place of intense yellow diamonds.

The GIA's D to Z color grading system applies to colorless to light yellow diamonds related to the relative absence of color. For colored diamonds, the presence of color establishes the color grade. Diamonds that have a tone and saturation greater than Z are Fancy color grades. The word Fancy is critical because that means the level of color is to the extreme right of the color scale rather than in the middle. 

 Terminology is very important when it comes to describing color. In the Fancy Yellow color range; there are four color-grades (Fancy Light Yellow, Fancy Yellow, Fancy Intense Yellow and Fancy Vivid Yellow) with increasing prices with the higher intensity colors. Some of the yellows with higher intensity of color (Fancy Vivid Yellows) are as rare as the pinks and blues and command unusually high prices.
