Welcome once again to another By Bonnie blog, where we talk about all things DIAMONDS! Today, we've heeded your call and put together a captivating showcase that's sure to dazzle you - we're stepping into the stunning world of colored diamonds. Our focus? The exquisite allure of yellow diamonds. We've been laboring over a truly unique piece which has just reached completion, and I can't wait to delve into the rich details with you. 


Don't breeze through this blog post too quickly; we're about to uncover why this yellow diamond bracelet holds such an exceptional place in the jewelry world, and why it's such a rare gem to come across. Stick with me and let's embark on this radiant journey together.

36 CT Fancy Yellow Diamond Tennis Bracelet

Alright, let's delve right into the glittering specifics of these stones. This seven-inch bracelet holds an array of 32 diamonds, and just like you, we appreciate the finer details. All diamonds are radiant cuts, adding a sense of grandeur and splendor to the piece. Each diamond has been meticulously evaluated by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). This piece is an incredible medley of VS1 to internally flawless diamonds.

In the realm of fancy colored gemstones and jewelry, it's a common practice to place a higher karat gold underneath the 'basket' or setting to accentuate the color. However, for this piece, we've chosen an 18-karat yellow gold setting, enhancing the diamonds' brilliance, and the outcome is nothing short of extraordinary.


To complement this bracelet, we've also crafted a matching eternity band, creating a harmony between the two pieces. If you are a fan of emerald or radiant cut stones, this set should certainly find its way onto your wish list. While the bracelet can be resized to fit perfectly, it's the captivating allure of the one-carat diamonds that steals the show. The spectacle they create is enough to sweep anyone off their feet. Trust me, this set is a mind-boggling beauty.

Colored Diamonds: What Are They & How Are They Graded?

I'm aware of how much you enjoy the educational aspect of these blogs, and today won't disappoint. Let's begin with the fundamental question: What exactly are yellow diamonds?


The answer is quite straightforward. Yellow diamonds are naturally occurring diamonds, exhibiting a rich, sunny hue. The bracelet we've been discussing is resplendent with these stones, each weighing in at one carat, culminating in an impressive total weight of 36 carats for the seven-inch piece.

Colored diamonds, including the captivating yellow variety, have their own category in the diamond world, known as 'fancy color diamonds'. Now, how does a diamond make the leap from 'ordinary' to 'fancy'? When grading diamonds on the D (colorless) to Z (light yellow or brown) scale, a diamond becomes 'fancy' when its color saturation surpasses the Z grade, thus entering into the vibrant realm of colored diamonds. In this case, we're looking at fancy yellow diamonds.


Interestingly, fancy yellow diamonds are not all created equal. They come in various shades and intensities: Fancy Light Yellow, Fancy Yellow, Fancy Intense Yellow, and Fancy Vivid Yellow. These classifications are based on the color saturation and tone of the diamond, with Fancy Vivid Yellow representing the most intensely saturated and valuable of the spectrum.

So, why do they get more expensive? It all comes down to rarity and demand. Like most fancy colored diamonds, the intense and vivid yellow diamonds are rarer and consequently more desirable. As the intensity of the yellow color increases, so does the diamond's value. A Fancy Vivid Yellow diamond, with its rich color saturation, will typically command a much higher price than a Fancy Light Yellow diamond.

What makes Fancy Yellow Diamond Pieces so Valuable?

Crafting a piece like this can be quite the challenge, and it all comes down to what we in the business call 'finding the perfect layout.' In my experience of designing conventional diamond rings and doing color matching for your white diamond engagement rings, I can confidently say that orchestrating a layout with fancy colored diamonds presents an even greater challenge. But, why?


Well, if you take a moment to examine the intricacies of this bracelet, you'll realize it's a once-in-a-lifetime creation. Achieving the perfect balance of color, intensity, hue, contrast, and saturation is no mean feat. Each diamond has to be meticulously handpicked and then expertly set in place - a testament to masterful craftsmanship. The setting process for this piece requires painstaking attention to detail. Each diamond is carefully held in place with claw settings, which lets the true beauty of the diamonds shine through without any obstruction. This level of finesse is what contributes to the spectacular allure of the piece.


One of the attributes I particularly treasure about a bracelet like this is its testament to natural beauty. Even with today's technological advancements, we've yet to see anything that can quite replicate the genuine charm of natural fancy yellow diamonds in laboratory-grown counterparts. Of course, technology may progress to a point where we can control the color in lab-grown diamonds, but as of now, the natural allure of these stones remains unparalleled.


This is the kind of piece that captivates collectors, lovers of high-end jewelry, and anyone with a deep appreciation for craftsmanship. It's an irresistible addition to any collection. We've created earrings in the past that share the same classic elegance of solid yellow diamonds, adorned with matching pavé yellow diamonds. The sight is truly unmatched and illustrates the immense effort it takes to craft a perfect match.


The journey to create such a piece begins with the rigorous curation of diamonds and culminates in a meticulously crafted and stunningly beautiful end product. The rarity and complex process involved in crafting jewelry with fancy yellow diamonds is what makes these pieces exceptionally valuable and special. Each piece is a testament to the marvel of nature and the unparalleled skill of the artisan, making it a true masterpiece to be treasured.
