unmounted Fancy Yellow - GIA

Globally, the annual output of colored diamonds over 100 carats is extremely low, especially for Fancy Yellow diamonds—most Fancy Yellow diamonds weigh between 1 and 10 carats, and loose stones over 100 carats are often regarded as "collector’s treasures." The 118.05-carat weight gives it an iconic status in auction markets or private transactions. Color Value The value of Fancy Yellow diamonds is directly linked to color saturation. This diamond’s "Fancy Yellow" falls in the medium-to-high saturation range, with no secondary hues like green or gray that reduce value. It is a color category in high demand in the colored diamond market—compared to light yellow diamonds, its price premium can be several times or even dozens of times higher. Investment Attribute The unmounted state adds flexible investment and usage scenarios for it—it can be held long-term as a "loose colored diamond collection" (the value retention of large-sized loose colored diamonds is usually better than that of finished jewelry), or customized into an exclusive inlaid piece by top jewelry brands, further enhancing its artistic value and market premium potential.
