Diamonds, too, are a classic for any promise rings for couples piece, especially engagement rings and marriage rings. Combining yellow gold with diamonds will create jewelry that is elegant, sophisticated and sparkles.

 If you are new to gemstones, or have never purchased diamonds, you might not know there are many different colors of diamonds. The diamond color chart will show that the majority of diamonds have a subtle yellow or brown tint. These can be invisible to very noticeable. It is important to consider color when buying diamonds. Aside from fancy colored ones, the less noticeable color will make the diamond more expensive. Diamonds set in yellow or white gold can appear more colorless. Diamonds with lower color grades can sometimes appear higher in quality couples jewelry sets.

 Read on to find out how to pick the perfect diamond color for a yellow gold setting, whether it's for an engagement ring with diamonds or a piece of fine jewelry. Let's discuss diamond color, as well as how metals, cuts and carats influence its appearance.

 The 4Cs are cut, clarity, color, and carat weight. It is important to consider the color of a diamond when choosing it, whether or not it is set into yellow gold. The color of a diamond is subjective, unlike cut and clarity. Although bright white and transparent diamonds tend to be the most sought-after, fancy colored and yellow diamonds as well as blue and pink diamonds with a hint of color are also popular.

 Color is still an important feature of diamonds. The less color a diamond has, the higher its quality and, therefore, the price. The reason is that the less color the diamond has, it's rarer, it reflects more light, and is therefore more brilliant.

 How is diamond color graded?

 A diamond's color is graded on a scale of D to Z. D, a colorless stone, is the lowest letter on the scale. Z is light yellow, or brown. Colors richer or more varied than Z (or yellow or brown) would be considered fancy colored diamonds.

 This standard was set by the Gemological Institute of America and is used for rating all diamond gemstones. You can be sure that any diamond with a GIA color rating will be consistent. It is because of the consistency that we are able to suggest specific color grades when it comes to certain cuts, carats, settings and styles.

 You can choose the best diamond for your yellow-gold jewelry if you know the color scale of diamonds and the differences between the grades.

 How Diamonds Get their Color

 Diamonds are composed of carbon. However, a chemically-pure diamond is only made up of carbon. This is rarely the case in nature. As diamonds form on the earth's surface, they are exposed by natural gases such boron and Nitrogen that gives them their faint color.

 There are other important aspects of diamond quality

 Cut, clarity, carat weight, and color are all factors that determine the best diamond colour for yellow gold. Some diamonds have more color in them than others and the color is usually more noticeable when you go for larger carats. You should first look at the cut and weight of your desired diamond. Next, look at the colors that are colorless when you cut your diamond.

 Diamond Cut

 Round cut diamonds tend to conceal color very well, thanks to their fire and brilliance. This means that you can select a diamond with an I color grade or lower, and there will be no color.

 On the other hand fancy shapes, such as oval, cushion and emerald show more color than round diamonds. The color of a round diamond is most noticeable near the edges. Emerald, cushion, asscher and pear cut diamonds have color that can be seen in the middle of the stone. The color of emerald cuts, with their step-cuts and "windows" should be taken into consideration. A diamond with a color of H, J, or I will usually be the most valuable.

 No matter the shape of the diamond, the quality is of paramount importance. If all other factors are equal, a perfect or excellent-cut diamond will sparkle more than a diamond that is a good shape, and so hide more color.

 Diamond Carat weight

 The color of the diamond will also be more apparent the bigger the stone. If you compare a 1 carat diamond to a 3 carat diamond of the same color grade, then the 3-carat stone will show more colour. As you shop, keep this in mind. Your budget can quickly become out of hand when you find that you have to upgrade your color grade and increase the carat size.
