Sunshine in Stone: The Yellow Gem Family
Yellow gemstones include some of the most varied and beloved stones in fine jewellery. Yellow sapphire, also known as Pukhraj, is prized for its exceptional brilliance and durability. Citrine, a variety of quartz, offers warm golden tones at an accessible price point and is one of the most versatile stones for larger formats. Golden beryl (heliodor) brings a vivid, sunny character, while yellow tourmalines and fancy yellow diamonds complete this luminous family.
Hardness, Hue & Key Producing Regions
Yellow sapphire at 9 on the Mohs scale is one of the most durable coloured stones available and an outstanding choice for engagement rings worn daily. Citrine rates 7, suitable for occasional-wear pieces. The intensity of yellow can range from pale champagne to vivid canary, with medium-to-strong saturation being most desirable in the market. Sri Lanka, Madagascar, and Tanzania are key sources for yellow sapphires; Brazil dominates production of fine citrines.
