WHAT ARE YELLOW DIAMONDS?
Natural yellow diamonds are diamonds that get their color from the presence of nitrogen in their crystal structure. Nitrogen molecules absorb blue light, causing the stone to reflect a yellow shade. Enhanced yellow diamonds are diamonds that have been treated to create their permanent, intense yellow color. KAY offers both natural and enhanced yellow diamond jewelry. Yellow diamonds offer a bright, warm look and are thought to symbolize hope, happiness, and renewal.
ARE YELLOW DIAMONDS REAL?
Yes! Both natural yellow diamonds and enhanced yellow diamonds are real diamonds, and both possess the same chemical composition as traditional colorless diamonds. The key difference is that enhanced yellow diamonds have undergone a treatment process to change the stone’s color.
