You could call this an "Unlucky Vivid"- it's that close to being a Vivid Yellow.
Or as Maxwell Smart might say "Missed it by that much"
Seriously- when judging an intense yellow, it's very important to keep in mind that some intense yellows are borderline fancy yellow diamonds. Others are right in the center of the range that GIA will grade fancy intense yellow. Still others are stones that are very close to the mark of making a vivid yellow. This is one of those cases. The diamond looks just like a vivid to me!
Of course it's only unlucky for the cutter. Even though, the least expensive intense yellow of this size you may find, it's certainly nowhere near the price of a vivid yellow. Plus, it's a VVS-and that's always worth a lot as well.
As you can see, the cut is gorgeous too.
