in the w-x range? I really like the yellows. I love the fact that the w-x is not dark and looks like it has tons of fire and sparkle. Could these light yellows be considered canaries?

Thanks a lot. I definitely want it to look yellow without it being too dark. Is a diamond in the w-x range considered a poor quality yellow diamond, or a low grade white stone? Also, I am thinking of a wg setting because I don''t really like yg. I could do a yellow gold head and wg band. Would the diamond look bad in a wg setting?
Thanks.

I also love them.
The problem with the W-X range is the pricing...
The Rapaport price sheet doesn''t go so far, and there is a danger that you will pay to much.

Beesley is the head of AGL, one of the top US colored gemstone labs. For someone buying sapphire, ruby, or emerald, a stone blessed by Cap is likely a very fine gem. I've heard somewhere that he's done diamond reports but I don't think that's what he's best known for - I wonder if the colored diamond equivalent might be an evaluation by Stephen Hofer? For colored diamonds, GIA I think is the only way to go, and the only US lab I'd trust to adequately test for enhancements.Date: 2/26/2005 8:18:23 PM

I've never heard of Cap Beasley- which doen't mean anything- the guy could be the most knowledgable person.

I agree with Jennifer - I''ve seen a couple of fancy light stones that were stunning, but for my taste a nice distinctly yellow color starts at GIA fancy yellow or better. They''re still a bargain relative to D-E-F though I think.

David, can you explain the basic pricing structure and differences for say a Y-Z stone and something like a Vivid/Intense/Light Yellow?
aka would a Y colored be cheaper than an Intense or Vivid? Is Intense more exp than Vivid?
In looking at the prices on the IceStore''s site..it will be a long time before I ever own ANY yellow, even a chip!
