The Diamond Store has some stunning yellow sapphire earrings studded with diamonds in beautiful yellow or white gold settings in designs which hug your ears and light up your face with their sparkle.
The sapphire is the birthstone for the month September and is also the anniversary stone for five and forty five years of marriage. Sapphires are available in colours ranging from the traditional midnight blue to bright blue to lavender and golden to reddish orange to yellow.
Yellow sapphires are real sunshine gemstones, but in Sri Lanka they are often called the pushparaga, with the term pushpa meaning flower and raga meaning either colour or pollen. Pushparaga can therefore be literally translated as the "colour of pollen."
In 1980 some dealers in Thailand began the experimental heating of pale yellow sapphires which were relatively cheap and available at that time. They discovered that the sapphires could be transformed from soft pastel shades to bright vibrant golden and orange yellows. When purchasing a yellow sapphire the natural pastel light yellow is beautiful, but deep orangey yellow or gold are magnificent. You should assume that the deeper the colour the more likely it is that the stone is heated unless there is proof to the contrary.
Ceylon Yellow Sapphires are comparable in quality to Burmese rubies. The Tundouro mine in Tanzania produces yellow sapphires with a greenish yellow tone which are sometimes sold as Ceylon Sapphires, but real Ceylon yellow sapphires do not have this greenish overtone. Yellow sapphire earrings from the Diamond Store mix well when worn with blue sapphires, white diamonds and white or yellow gold.
If you are thinking of buying some yellow sapphire earrings from the Diamond Store then remember they are one of the most widely used gems to achieve better financial status bringing the wearer wealth, good health and fame. The colour yellow worn by a man denotes they have a secret lover, but in a woman it is a symbol of generosity.
