Birks Rings in Spring with 16-Carat Yellow Diamond
By Erika Winters
Canadian jeweler Birks is unveiling a rare 16.01-carat yellow diamond ring at its Edmonton location starting this week. Graded natural fancy-intense yellow color and VVS1 clarity, the asscher-cut diamond is set in a platinum pavé halo-style ring. The diamond ring will head to Calgary after the Edmonton showcase.
Yellow diamonds, and fancy-colored diamonds in general, continue to grow in popularity. Larger yellow diamonds have made headlines in recent years for their natural beauty and gemological rarity. With natural fancy-colored diamonds, the value increases with intensity of color. And diamonds that display color purity--or the absence of modifying colors--command the highest prices in the marketplace.
Birks stated that the 16-carat yellow diamond was recently discovered and is guaranteed conflict-free via the jeweler's ethical sourcing and responsible chain of custody practices.
