Hi everyone,

Wondering if someone here can help find this. I am in search of a 1+ct (max budget is $2k but would prefer to stay around or under $1.5k) round precision cut yellow sapphire that looks similar to a yellow diamond. There is no need for the stone to be very vivid, as my wife actually likes the more-pastel colors. Also would prefer the more yellow/canary yellow look rather than a lemon yellow. Lastly, I would much rather have an untreated stone than a treated stone. Anyone have any leads?

Thanks

If you're on a tight budget, yellow chrysoberyl is a very good alternative to a yellow sapphire. It's extremely durable and typically untreated. I don't think it's inferior to sapphire at all. Sapphire is just a more highly marketed stone, hence the reason it's rather expensive, and it's also hard to find untreated material

I have a yellow chyrsoberyl that is in a round brilliant cut and it sparkles like mad. Some tend to be on the greenish side too, but they have amazing luster and brilliance when well cut.

Why yes, yes indeed, your plans certainly changed! Looks lovely and full of fire. Is it a Christmas surprise or can we be indulged with the requisite hand shots?
