quite a lot of money!

with natural colouerd diamonds - which you can be pretty confident of if it's a VVS-2 (you can't colour enhance diamonds with a clarity better then VS) - then the price is determined by a few factors

1) Normal stuff - weight, clarity and cut. This is a big diamond
2) Colour - the exact shde of yellow can make the difference between VERY expensive and just very expensive! (I have a natural red, 075 ct worth about 80K...one recently sold in New York for 800K!!)

So...unlike with white diamonds, pricing a coloured is partly science and partly art..... how yellow is it? Is it a pale, delicate yellow? bright lemon yellow? etc....

If it is a fancy yellow it will probably be in the $23-25.000 range. If it is a fancy light yellow it drops the price almost by half.

For those that want to know the truth about diamonds, just ask.
