    No, color treated diamonds are not in the same lowly class as
    inclusion filled diamonds. (Sorry Yehuda) Almost all gem quality
    stones, along with diamonds are treated in some way to enhance their
    color. You just need to be sure that it is a permanent treatment,
    whether or not it can take heat, ultrasonic cleaning, will it fade
    in the sunlight, wash off with soap and water, etc... There are more
    natural yellows on the market right now. Many of them coming from the
    argile mines in Austrailia. They are still more expensive than the
    natural ones. It probably depends on what your client wants. I have
    had many clients wanting natural color stones for aurvedic (sp?)
    purposes. Also, it is very important to disclose any treatment to
    the client.
