DIAMONDS - HIGH YELLOW or BLACK AND WHITE??

Hi guys,

Im just wondering which colour of diamond is considered, not better, but more expensive/better for breeding/more natural? The high yellow types or the black with white markings? Thanks

High yellows are more desired by most and fetch a higher price, but buy what ever you like the look of the most. Some people love black and whites and others like the really dark ones. I prefer high yellows but also like black and whites

And make sure its not a diamond cross.

I prefer high yellow but one of the nicest diamonds I've seen was black. It was so dark the rosettes almost looked blue

A Diamond is a Diamond and i believe you should be paying for the species, not the colouration. I like them all, but prefer the "in betweens" rather than Black'n'whites or high yellows.
