About Yellow Sapphire as a Gemstone
Sapphire is the gem variety of corundum, an aluminium oxide crystallising in the trigonal system. Blue is the colour most people picture, but corundum occurs in nearly every hue, including pink, yellow, green and violet. Only red corundum takes a separate name, ruby. Trace iron, titanium and chromium drive the colour. You can read more via gemmological reference, mineral data.
Corundum forms in aluminium-rich, silica-poor settings, typically metamorphosed limestones and marbles or alkali basalts that carry crystals upward from depth. Because corundum resists weathering so well, many working deposits are alluvial, with crystals recovered from river gravels far from their original host rock.

Popular Uses
Sapphire is a mainstay of fine jewellery. At Mohs 9 it is the hardest gem material after diamond and moissanite, which makes it very well suited to rings and bracelets that face daily contact. A Yellow Sapphire of this size works particularly well as the centre stone in a bespoke piece.
Ideal For
- A custom birthstone ring for a September birthday
- A jeweller designing a bespoke gold pendant
- A collector adding corundum variations to a cabinet

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exact measurements of this Yellow Sapphire?
This stone measures 7.7 x 6.8 x 3.9 mm and weighs 2 carats. Those figures are taken from the stone itself, not estimated from a category average.
Is this stone suitable for an everyday ring?
Yes, corundum is one of the hardest minerals available for jewellery use. It withstands daily friction and knocks far better than most coloured gems.
How does the cut behave under different lighting?
The oval faceting pattern is designed to capture ambient light efficiently. You will notice strong brilliance whether the stone is viewed indoors or outside.
What metal pairs best with yellow sapphire?
Yellow gold deepens the warm tones of the material, while white metals create a high-contrast frame that makes the body colour pop.
How should a jeweller handle this stone during setting?
Standard pressure from a pusher or hammer handpiece works well on corundum. Take normal care to protect the girdle during prong tightening.
How long does delivery take, and can I return it?
We contact you directly as soon as your order is placed to arrange delivery, so you always know where the parcel is. Returns are accepted within 7 days of the date you receive the item.
Are your stones natural, or are any of them synthetic?
Everything we sell is 100% natural. We do not deal in synthetic or laboratory-grown material, and we do not hide anything about a piece: the photographs are shot to show every detail, including the ones a seller might prefer you did not see.
Will I receive the exact stone shown in the photos and video?
Yes. Each listing covers one individual stone, and the media on this page was shot from that stone. Once it sells, the listing comes down.
