Canary Diamonds History

These precious birthstones are known to form 75 to 120 miles below the earth's crust. The high pressures and temperatures of 2000 degree F within the crust, forces many diamond particles to pick up carbon elements and appear colorless which normally many diamonds are, but very few one's absorb other elements and if they pick up nitrogen, they appear yellow and thus called "canary". They derive their color from the nitrogen impurity in the crystal structure. The color intensity of these diamonds depend on the amount of nitrogen present in them.

How valuable a yellow diamond is completely depends on the color of the diamond. The yellow of the diamond is due to the presence of nitrogen in the crystal. Varying levels cause a difference in the color of the diamond. The most common among yellow diamonds and widely used in fancy yellow diamond engagement rings are diamonds that are a light yellow in color. Vivid and intense yellow diamonds are extremely difficult to find. But many antique yellow diamond engagement rings have diamonds of a vivid yellow shade. Shades of yellow that have a brownish tinge are less valuable and are extremely cheap as compared to other varieties of yellow diamonds. On the other hand, yellow diamonds that have greenish shades are very rare and highly priced.

Most diamonds that are used for jewelry are enhanced by treating them so that the color of the diamonds seems to be more vibrant.
