Browse our natural Ceylon yellow sapphire collection: four certified loose stones including three rare unheated pieces. Ceylon yellow sapphires range from pale canary to deep golden hues, with the most sought-after showing a vivid, evenly saturated yellow free of greenish or brownish overtones.
A yellow sapphire is a natural variety of corundum coloured by trace iron, displaying hues from pale canary to deep golden orange. Ceylon (Sri Lankan) yellow sapphires are the most historically significant source, prized for their bright, transparent colour and high clarity. Yellow sapphire is the September birthstone and is also traditionally associated with the planet Jupiter in Vedic astrology, making it one of the most spiritually significant sapphires. Fine yellow sapphires score 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, the same as ruby and blue sapphire, making them fully suitable for daily-wear engagement rings.
Three of our four yellow sapphires are fully unheated, a significant rarity in the market. Natural yellow sapphires get their colour from trace iron inclusions during formation; most commercial stones are heated to intensify colour, but unheated examples retain their original earth-formed hue. Each unheated piece is verified by CGL certification.
Our yellow sapphires range from 1.10ct to 3.17ct, priced from $600 AUD for entry pieces to $4,500+ AUD for large unheated stones. Popular cuts include radiant, emerald, rectangle, and heart, versatile for both classic solitaires and modern statement settings. Yellow sapphire is also a traditional choice in astrological jewellery.
Both heated and unheated yellow sapphires exist in the market. Our collection includes both: three unheated and one heated. Treatment status is disclosed on each product page and on the accompanying certificate.
For engagement rings, 1-3 carat yellow sapphires are the most popular size range. Our 1.10ct, 2.02ct, 3.03ct, and 3.17ct stones all work beautifully in solitaire or halo settings.
