Natural yellow diamonds obtain their cheerful hue primarily from the presence of nitrogen molecules that absorb blue light. This process allows the remaining visible light to emerge as a sunny yellow color. It’s this unique composition that endows natural yellow diamonds with their warm, golden glow
