Is it possible to find cheap light yellow diamonds?

[babydoll_mini]

I mean not fancy colored, but down to N, O, P and beyond...no brownish just light yellow and cheap diamonds? Is it possible to find them?
I'm looking for a pair of .30 ish such stones, is this mission impossible?
Thank you very much!

What do you consider cheap? Here are a few pairs of earrings from Diamonds by Lauren ranging from $500-650:

Try usacerteddiamonds.com They have a lot of N's from $300- $400 GIA's Also Good Old Gold has some really nice AV rounds cut for light performance...but they are fancy yellows for around $500- 600. I'm sure some of these fancies are LIGHT yellow which might suit your purposes. How cheap were you wanting? you could also check ebay.

Are you aware that an N, O, P color can face up creamy white colored and not "yellow"? To "look" yellow they will need to be WXYZ or fancy light yellow or "light yellow". What kind of jewelry are you going to set them in...for earrings???? multi-stone ring?

What is "cheap" to you? What is your budget?

Thank you kristalulu and ariel144 for your informative reply!
I have a 0.61ct E color stone and I want to find 2 side stones for a 3-stone ring. I can go with .3 ct F/G, but I feel them a bit costly.
So I'm thinking, if I can find some low color diamond, which will look lovely light yellow, and can introduce some contrast with the E stone, but still cheaper than F/G stones...wouldn't it be nice...

But I don't know a thing about N, O, P or fancy color diamond, how much will it cost to find a pair of .3ct (0.6ctw) light yellow stones? Do you think they will look good with E color center stone in a 3-stone ring?

Thank you very much!!

You want a matched pair? Cheap? Are you going to cup them with yellow gold? Yekutiel is used to weird requests and seems to deliver on them well. Give him a call.

You could also contact Leibish at fancydiamonds.net. He has access to a lot of yellow diamonds and I'm sure he can find something that you might like. As suggested earlier, you may want to check into X-Z range to keep the premium low. If you can swing it, a check into fancy light yellow or fancy yellows. Being that your diamond is so white, I think these light hues will look very nice.

Hi babydoll
That's an interesting idea
A lot of things to keep in mind such as:
Round diamonds won't really show the color like radiant or cushion cut for example
The way the diamonds are set will make a big difference
These colors are generally sold sans GIA so there's a lot of approximating color- which means you are best served by a company that specializes in color
In general I'd suggest using any other shape besides round

imo N/O/P usually isn't really yellow - more like off-white. To my eye, you have to go down to X/Y/Z to get non-fancies that look pretty yellow, and then the price rises again (it's lowest near the middle of the alphabet in the off-white colors). You can use the "Diamond Prices" feature to see prices for .3ish diamonds in N and O color though, it looks like about 300 or 400 dollars for a VS2 round. I think. I'm not sure if I'm using the chart correctly.

Yes, I think light yellow diamonds added to your E color would look nice. Call diamondsbylauren and goodoldgold and see what they can do for you. They have quite a few fancy colored .25-.5 carat fancy stones that will probably work. $500-600 per stone.
You might consider a different shape other than round as well for the side stones. diamondsbylauren have a great website for looking at rings with multicolored stones. Here are 3 radiants with that combination and 3 OMC's both with the white center:
