    Irradiated yellow diamonds have less value than natural color yellow
    diamonds so in that respect they are "second class" stones, but I
    suppose it depends on your marketing bent. I know that Etienne
    Pierret in Maine works with lots of irradiated colored diamonds.
    Personally I wouldn't sell them (although I do sell other irradiated
    stones at times), but there is definitely a market for them. However,
    I also think that there are a fair number of natural color yellow
    diamonds and that maybe it isn't as necessary to sell irradiated
    yellow ones as perhaps irradiated blue diamonds (since most people
    will never see, no matter actually own a natural color blue diamond).
