When purchasing a Ceylon Yellow Sapphire gemstone, always adhere to the 3 C’s rule of thumb. This universal rule to decide the quality of any gemstone will help you discern the perfect Vedic gemstone from the low-quality substitutes.

The 3 C’s of Quality are: Cut, Color, and Clarity

Cut:

Often misunderstood to be the shape of the gemstone, cut generally refers to the sides on the surface of the gemstone. The outer shape doesn’t matter as much as the technique of the various cuts placed on the gemstones so that it may allow the light to pass and reflect in a way that is characteristic of every cut. A cushion cut will reflect light differently than a princess cut.

The main aim of a cut is to enhance the brightness of a gem and make it shine to the fullest.

Color:

The Ceylon Yellow Sapphire comes in various shades of yellow. It ranges from greenish-yellow to deep orange-yellow although the preferred shade is a medium vibrant canary shade or a light champagne color.

The color that is highly recommended from a Vedic astrological point of view is the deep golden yellow color without any traces of orange in it.

Clarity:

The clarity of any gemstone depends on how clearly one can see through it. Hazy gemstones indicate impurities in the stone. Although, only man-made synthetic gemstones can be flawless. Natural gemstones will always contain traces of imperfection.

Ceylon Yellow Sapphire gemstones are considered a good choice as they are almost completely clear to the naked eye i.e. ‘eye-clean'. They cannot be free from inclusions and crystal or feathers are the ones typically found in natural Ceylon Yellow Sapphires.

The Pukhraj falls under the corundum mineral family of gemstones. Gemstones under this category come in various resplendent colors such as yellow, blue, red, purple, orange, and green. The variation in these colors can be attributed to the presence of elements such as iron, titanium, chromium, copper, or magnesium found in gemstones.

The element that gives this gemstone its characteristic yellow tinge is trace amounts of iron. The higher the content of iron, the deeper the hue and color. Canary Yellow and Golden Yellow Ceylon Yellow Sapphires are certainly a treat for the eyes.

It is important to authenticate and verify the specifications of the gemstone you are looking to purchase. In the case of Ceylon Yellow Sapphires, be careful about selecting irradiated gemstones only. Yellow sapphires that are enhanced through low-level radiation lose their color over time and fade away due to heat and exposure.

Remember, the best clarity grade for Ceylon Yellow Sapphires is ‘Perfection’ which is followed by VVS (Very Very Slightly included) and VS (Very Slightly included) grading.
