The first level in which a yellow diamond is considered a fancy diamond is with Fancy Light Yellow. The name "Cape Diamonds" is because these diamonds originated from Cape Province in South Africa. In our case, there are no Faint, Very Light and Light yellow diamonds - these are referred as cape diamonds, diamonds from the lower end of the D-Z color scale (U-V and Y-Z) which appear somewhat yellowish.
Several colored diamonds colors don't have all levels on the scale. The intensity scale of colored diamonds goes as follows:įaint, Very Light, Light, Fancy Light, Fancy, Fancy Dark, Fancy Deep, Fancy Intense and the fancy vivid. For that purpose an intensity color scale was invented. There are yellow diamonds with a very strong color and there are yellow diamonds that the yellow shade is quite weak - yellowish or even just a yellow tint.
When grading colored diamonds, beside determining the color or color combination of the diamond, the color is also graded for intensity.
