Yellow Sapphire

Among the fancy sapphires, yellow sapphire, colored by trace amounts of iron, has become especially popular with gemstone buyers. One reason is that canary yellow diamonds have become a significant fashion trend. The more affordable yellow sapphire has become an attractive substitute for those unwilling to pay the exorbitant prices for yellow diamond. Since yellow sapphire also has excellent brilliance and hardness, it has also become a fashionable choice as a center stone for engagement rings, usually surrounded by smaller diamonds.
