The "traditional" diamond is colourless and transparent. However, diamonds come in a variety of colours including pink, brown, black, yellow, and red.
Diamonds are classified based on the 4Cs: cut, color, clarity, and carat weight. Cut refers to the proportions, symmetry, and polish of the diamond. Color is graded based on the absence of color, with the highest grade being D (colorless) to Z (light yellow or brown). Clarity measures the presence of internal or external flaws, with the scale ranging from Flawless (no inclusions or blemishes) to Included (visible flaws). Carat weight measures the size of the diamond.

The major difference between yellow diamonds (also known as fancy yellow diamonds) and clear diamonds is their color. Yellow diamonds get their color from nitrogen impurities in the crystal structure, while clear diamonds, also known as colorless diamonds, have no noticeable color impurities. Yellow diamonds are considered unique and rare, while clear diamonds are more traditional and popular for engagement rings.
Diamonds are considered to be inelastic in terms of their physical properties, meaning they do not easily deform or stretch when subjected to external forces.
