Yellow Diamond

A coloured diamond with a natural yellow body colour. Yellow must be the predominant colour, but it may be modified by shades of green, orange, or brown. The colour in natural yellow diamonds is created by the presence of nitrogen as an impurity when the diamond is growing. Natural yellow diamonds are common; canary diamonds are however more rare.
