Hiya,

Im afraid that without a picture of the diamond it isn't really possible to help you, as coloured diamond prices are driven almost entirely by the exact shade of colour - rather than the traditional 4 Cs approach.

If this is a treated diamond (irradiated for colour) then you should price it at about the same 'per carat' as an equivalent white diamond (with a small percentage added on for the actual process). If its natural yellow then the price can vary dramatically....

What Nightmare is saying is: If it's a natural yellow the price could vary dramatically in the "up" direction. Natural yellows can be pricey. But treated yellows can be very pretty and more affordable.

PS Yes send more specs. Any pictures?

Fancy light yellows will run less than fancy yellows or intense yellow or vivid yellow. But it helps if you see the stone as well and pick the color that you like next to your skin.

I would also maybe consider a fancy yellow stone graded by the GIA lab as well.
