The history of yellow diamonds
We know that
the uncut diamond is the precious stone that comes as the diamond after
faceting to be loved by women. The legend says that the first diamond was developed
forty centuries B.C. in the territory of modern India. In ancient times diamonds
were used as magic talismans, and the ancient Romans used them as a tool since
it is the hardest stone in the world. Diamonds were first facetted in the XIII century
when the stones became polished and lavish. That time the stones were not used
as jewels considering that the stone loses the magic features then. The diamonds
first saw the light only in 1910 when the technique of diamond polishing was
improved. The ratio of developed color and sheer diamonds of the high jewelry
quality is approximately one to the one hundred thousand. The color gamut of
yellow diamonds is also versatile. The stones come as pale citric yellow or light
yellow to flamboyant orange shades as vivid yellow. Here the cost of one carat increases
against the intensity of the color.

The history
of the legendary yellow diamond Sancy goes back to 1570. The Frenchman
Nicolas Harlai,
Seigneur de Sancy, acquired the pale yellow diamond of 55,23 carats
from the
Turkish jeweler. The stone helped him to build the career from the
attorney in Constantinople to the Prime Minister of France. The
precious stone traveled from one ruler to another and was then sold in
credit
to the English King Iakov I to return to the collection of the
Bourbons. Since
the time of the Great French Revolution the diamond was deemed as lost
until it
appeared in 1828 in
Russia.
Therefore, the legendary yellow diamond Sancy traveled around the world
until
it arrived in Paris

stone for
a million dollars to enjoy the stone at the Apollo Gallery by the
citizens and

Co. in the late XIX century Charles Tiffany acquired a diamond developed in South Africa

1960 with 82 facets. The diamond was used as a part to the jewelry, the
legendary broche Bird on the Rock made from platinum and gold and incrusted
with diamonds of white and yellow color.
The designers
of Leviev Company created the fascinating and unusual jewelry item called Leviev
Diamond Scarf. This jewel is made as a scarf from the precious metal, incrusted
