WOW! SPARKLY! Part of the Spoils of the Earth Series-----Nitrogen has been discovered as the cause of canary or yellow diamonds. The higher concentration of nitrogen present in the formation period of the diamond, the deeper the yellow coloring. If other chemicals are present during the formation, the more likely the diamond will not be of the canary variety. Many of these diamonds, sometimes called “Cape” diamonds have been found in the Cape Province of Africa, but now the term refers more to the defect in color than the region of origin. These canary diamonds are sometimes referred to as lemon drops and often have a deeper symbolic meaning than a regular, colorless stone. As history tells us, diamonds are symbolic of love and commitment, but a yellow stone has quite a deeper meaning. Yellow colors are often associated with sunlight and happiness, as well as joy and prosperity. This are supposed to be for MALE only, BUT ladies I've worn these on the FEMALE avatar, and I think they look pretty good! Thank you and as always, try before you buy!
