Who and how to wear a yellow gem
Sapphire is a noble stone, so it does not tolerate the proximity of competitors. As a last resort, he will put up with equals, but not instances of a lower level. There are also rules.
Frame
For a high-class mineral, such as sapphire, an appropriate frame is needed - from gold of all colors or platinum. Silver is used as a last resort or for products with artificial inserts.
Gold (except white) framing is used for summer decorations, white (gold or platinum) - for winter. A light stone in gold should be large, otherwise it risks being “lost” in the rays of the yellow metal, and the jewelry will appear blurry. In a white frame, the size of the sapphire insert does not matter.
Style
Earrings with yellow sapphire go well with a business suit or evening dress. Other styles of clothing are acceptable, but they should not be cheap or worn out. A pendant, earrings or rings with large clear sapphires make the look bright. However, several massive jewelry at once is too much.
Age
For girls, elegant options with a light stone are suitable, for older women - massive jewelry with darker sapphire.
Care and storage
A luxury gem is worthy of special attention. Contact with water or aggressive household chemicals is contraindicated. A weekly wipe with a clean, dry flannel, velvet or other soft cloth is sufficient.
Pebbles or jewelry are stored separately from others, so it’s worth buying a box with them. You can line the inside of a durable box of suitable dimensions with a soft cloth.
How to recognize sapphire
Yellow pebbles are expensive, so outright fakes or artificial analogues are offered instead. In a jewelry store, a tag indicates the origin of the product insert. The appropriate price will serve as a guide.
If this is a gift or decoration purchased in another way, its properties are assessed at home:
- compare with a piece of yellow glass - natural sapphire is paler;
- meticulously examine the sample - a real pebble is homogeneous;
- there are air bubbles visible in the light of a fake;
- scratches on natural sapphire are excluded;
- evaluate the cut - the edges of the glass are smoothed, while those of the sapphire are clearly defined.
It is difficult to independently recognize the artificial origin, since such pebbles are of high quality. We also recommend that you familiarize yourself with ways to distinguish a stone from a fake.
Price
The yellow variety is not the most expensive in its family, but it is not cheap either. Its price is $100–115 per carat. Low quality copies go for $12–22 each.
If you are lucky enough to become the owner of a solar sapphire, take care of it and treat it with respect. You can communicate with the stone and talk about your dream. Or just admire it, show off, be proud. However, he is demanding in every sense - frames, wardrobe as external manifestations, plus the honesty and decency of a person. You'll have to live up to it, but the stone is worth it.
Origin story
Sapphires of uniform yellow color are quite rare minerals. Stones of a blue palette are much more common in nature.
Such minerals of royal beauty are formed in sedimentary rocks enriched with aluminum. Such beautiful jewelry is created by Mother Nature using a tandem of air and water, high pressure and volcanic magma.
The main mineral deposits are river placers and hill slopes.
The fabulous beauty of the stone is possible thanks to impurities. Rare yellow stones are valued on a par with diamonds and rubies.
Yellow sapphire is valuable and revered in the Hindu religion.
Indian astrology also assigns a special role to it. In Hindi, sapphire is called pukhraj. This name also identifies citrine and topaz in yellow colors.
