What is a Fancy Vivid Yellow Diamond?
The Fancy Vivid Yellow Diamond is one of the rarest and highest-grade yellow diamonds in the color grading scale. It holds a prominent position among the yellow diamonds, celebrated for its vivid intensity and exceptional brilliance.
Here’s a breakdown of the yellow diamond color grading (from lightest to darkest):
1.Fancy Light Yellow
2.Fancy Yellow
3.Fancy Intense Yellow
4.Fancy Vivid Yellow
5.Fancy Deep Yellow
6.Fancy Dark Yellow

Fancy Vivid Yellow diamonds are the brightest, most saturated yellow diamonds. Their value and rarity far exceed that of Fancy Yellow or Fancy Intense Yellow diamonds.

Why is Fancy Vivid Yellow So Rare?

1. Strict Natural Formation Conditions: The color of yellow diamonds comes from the influence of nitrogen within the diamond’s crystal lattice. To reach the vivid yellow hue, the nitrogen content and crystal structure must form a rare combination that only a few diamonds achieve.

2. Extreme Rarity: Less than 5% of all yellow diamonds achieve the Fancy Vivid Yellow grade.

3. High Collectible and Investment Value: Fancy Vivid Yellow diamonds often fetch high prices in auctions, especially when they have excellent cut, large carat weight, and high clarity. They are highly coveted by collectors.
