Affordable diamonds? Diamonds usually means expensive and when we say affordable, it is just like saying that it is not as expensive as the other ones or the price is just slightly lower than the others. The contention there is that diamonds are diamonds no matter what the price is. There are options though for people who like to have diamonds but has a slightly lower budget. These are the fancy colored diamonds like the canary diamond. It is a pale yellow colored diamond which was considered to be a bit inferior before but is gaining popularity due to the number of high profile people who got it as engagements rings like what Dennis Quaid gave his then fiancee a 3-carat trilliant-cut canary yellow diamond. Even Paris Hilton has a 24-carat canary yellow engagement ring. These events boosted its popularity. Whoopi Goldberg has a pendant of the same color which she wore on the red carpet while former first lady, Hillary Clinton wore hers to the inaugural ball.
Yellow diamond creates a very dramatic effect thus it is a perfect foil for people who would like to stand out. If one would like to have it look more vivid, it can be set in yellow gold or the band can be white gold but the prongs will be yellow. By doing such, it will create a deeper hue. A yellow natural colored diamonds are not that easy to find. There might be some out in the market but they may have been treated to achieve such color.
