(a) A broad range of diamond colour grades that show a distinct yellow tint face up (except for small stones in the top part of the range). The term originally referred to the Cape of Good Hope, the popular name for the area that later became the Union of South Africa. Since the average colour produced by the South African mines was distinctly more yellow than the Brazilian average, the term "cape" became accepted for strongly yellow-tinted stones. The best grade in the group is variously called "top silver cape," "top cape," "light cape," "fine cape" or silver cape," depending on the system used by the grader. (b) Perhaps mostly commonly, "cape" is used as the colour grade below "top cape" in the "river-to-light-yellow" system
