Description
Key Characteristics of Yellow Sapphire:
- Color: The color of yellow sapphires can range from light yellow to deep golden yellow. The most prized stones typically have a rich, clear yellow hue without any green or brown undertones. The intensity and purity of the yellow color are the most important factors in determining a Yellow Sapphire’s value.
- Hardness: Yellow sapphires are very hard, scoring 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness. This makes them highly durable and resistant to scratching, which makes them ideal for everyday wear in rings, necklaces, and bracelets.
- Clarity: Yellow sapphires generally have excellent clarity, with fewer visible inclusions compared to other gemstones. However, some natural inclusions, known as “needles,” are common and do not necessarily detract from the gemstone’s beauty. These inclusions can even enhance the stone’s unique character in some cases.
- Cut: Yellow sapphires are typically cut into shapes like oval, round, emerald cut, or cushion cut to maximize their brilliance and highlight their vibrant color. The cut should allow for optimal light reflection to showcase the stone’s natural luster.
