About the Cover


Long valued because of their beauty and relative rarity, yellow diamonds are among the most sought-after of fancy-colored diamonds. The lead article in this issue reports on a study of more than 24,000 fancy-color yellow diamonds submitted to the GIA Gem Laboratory in 1998 and 2003. The 32.31 ct Internally Flawless diamond in the ring is Fancy Vivid yellow. The spill of yellow diamonds range from Fancy Vivid to Fancy Light yellow and weigh between 1.36 and 3.68 ct. The ring, designed by Hoda Esphahani, is courtesy of Isaac Wolf. Photo by Harold & Erica Van Pelt, Los Angeles.
