There is a vendor who posts here occasionally called Diamonds by Lauren (www.diamondsbylauren.com) who speciailizes in fancy light yellows. He is a good guy (I have dealt with him) and may be able to help you.

Also, check the pricescope vendors list... There are a couple of sites that have loose fancy yellows listed...I can't remember which ones (I am actually looking for a yellow stone myself) but they are there.

Good luck.

I guess Iam just writing this to get all the criticism available! I am not selling (or buying

) diamonds for a living, but I have came accross such specs (at least color and clarity grades) for anything between 15K and 20K. Thereare three factors I would look at for better ball-park: the cut, the actual tone and saturation of color. Light yellows are better cut than other fancies given their lesser price per carat, but still parameters seem looser: your oval sounds decent even for a mainstream white, also, radiant seems to be the most common shape given to yellows but there is no reason to pay a premium just for the type of the cut from radiant to oval, as oposed to cut quality. The tone could be brownish, greenish or whatever: hopefully the existance of such a modifier (meaning atribute before the name of the main color such as brownish-yellow, or orangish-yellow, etc) but faint tones coul still have a visual impact and not be stated (ok, I am perhaps paranoid here given the context). Saturation: well, even if white diamonds came with color grades which are sometimes hard to distinguish under normal wear circumstances, yellows came in grades which represent quite wide ranges within variations of price are common: so you can have a pale light yellow which should cost less than a more saturated light yellow. I don't have a pic of such things, but I just came accross a picture with a yellow and an intense side-by-side (sold as pair at WWW). In theory, there should be an premium (about 40%, I'd just guess) for intense vs. mere yellow. The two stones in the picture show how close the mere 'yellow' GRADE can get to the intense. Ok, there is adifference, but itis up to you to judge wether the shades in the corners of that princess are worth 10% or 40% premium! I must leave to you the pleasure to extrapolate this to the light yellow-yellow issue.

PS: I've seen Huuuuuuugely different prices for these! So I'll take no offense if there are different opinions below...
