The first canary diamond to be discovered was the Yellow Canary Diamond found in Africa in 1866. It was called the Eureka diamond. It was pale yellow and was 10.7 carats. The presence of nitrogen in the diamond creation process is what adds the yellow color to the diamond.

The Eureka Diamond was the first diamond discovered in South Africa; it is brownish-yellow in colour. Read more about it, below.
The notion 'canary' as a descriptor of a diamond came about closer to the late 1890s - early 1900s, when Cape diamonds -- diamonds found in South Africa, were defined as such. The first Cape yellow diamond was found in 1869.

What are some of the positive highlights of a canary diamond?
Yellow diamonds cost more than colorless diamonds most of the time. There is only one yellow diamond in the world for every 10,000 white diamonds, which is the reason they are considered so valuable. Also, because the amount of nitrogen in the diamond is always different, every yellow canary diamond is one of kind, also adding value. It is uncommon for yellow canary diamonds to be found in diamond mines. Yellow diamonds from the mine are often not as vibrant yellow, and therefore are not as valuable as the ones found naturally in the ground.
