Japanese translation:イエローダイヤモンド
Explanation:
Don't be mislead by the "shade". That's like translating 黄色 as "yellow color"--although I see that mistake often enough in bad J-E translations (e.g. for 青色LED).

agree  KathyT: Yes, there are varying 'shades' of yellow diamonds, such as pale yellow => dark/deep yellow.

  -> Thanks KathyT. Although there are various yellows--i.e., shades of yellow (my trademark color is mustard yellow)--there is no need to use it here in the English. Now back to my hue/saturation editor.
agree  Yoshimine: That's so true! Whatever there are various yellows, yellow is yellow. No need to use here in Japanese, too.

ファンシーカラーの黄色ダイヤモンド


Explanation:
この場合shadeというのは黄色の濃淡をいっているのではなく、黄色のshadeをもったダイヤモンドということだと思います。
このウエブサイトによりますと、黄色、ピンク、緑などのさまざまなシェード（色合い）を持ったダイヤモンドを総称してファンシーカラーというそうです。htmlhttp://www.suwagem.com/jp/dictionary/quality/3/3.
