1.09 ct Yellow Sapphire - Emerald Cut

At 1.09 carats, this sapphire from Thailand carries its yellow color through an emerald cut, measuring 7.2 x 5 x 3.1 mm.

Sapphire is the gem form of corundum, second only to diamond in hardness among the classic gemstones, which is why it wears so well in jewelry worn daily. Thailand is both a corundum source and the great cutting and finishing hub of the colored gemstone trade. Its color was brought up by heat, a legitimate and accepted practice that the trade discloses and we disclose here.

No two of these line up the same way on color, cut, and origin at once, which is what makes choosing this one feel deliberate. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
