Yellow Diamonds

Posted on October 18, 2012 by sarahmac

Jewelry has its fashion trends, and yellow diamonds are enjoying their moment. (See today’s Wall Street Journal article: The New Color of Luxury: Yellow.) Yellow diamonds, also known as canary diamonds, have long been the realm of royalty and aristocracy whose jewels reside in museums more often than not. But lately, yellow diamonds have found their way into modern designs for the fashion-concious wearer. With the price of diamonds rising, yellow diamonds, priced slightly less than clear diamonds, have increasing appeal.

Ann’s Fantasia ring is emerald-cut with a center stone of canary yellow lab-grown diamond, $579.

At Ann’s, we like yellow diamonds just because they’re pretty! And you won’t have to worry about prices at Ann’s, because our diamonds are lab-grown, no matter their color. They’re Fantasia, and they give you the look of real for a fraction of the price. (For more about Fantasia fine jewelry at Ann’s, click here.)
