Yellow Sapphires
Yellow sapphires are stunning gemstones known for their radiant golden hues and timeless elegance. Like blue sapphires and rubies, they belong to the corundum family but get their sunny color from traces of iron in the crystal structure. Often associated with prosperity and wisdom, yellow sapphires have become a popular choice for jewelry lovers looking for both beauty and meaning.
At James Allen, we believe yellow sapphires make a perfect statement in rings, pendants, and earrings. Their durability, ranking just below diamonds on the Mohs hardness scale, ensures they can be worn daily without worry. Whether you’re drawn to their symbolic significance or simply love their warm glow, yellow sapphires are a versatile choice for both casual and formal styles.
A yellow sapphire’s quality is often judged by its color intensity, clarity, and origin. Sri Lanka, Madagascar, and Thailand are some of the top sources for these gems. Explore our collection at James Allen to find ethically sourced, high-quality yellow sapphires that shine as brightly as your moments.
