Yellow Sapphires – A Combination of Wisdom and Purity
The word sapphire comes from the Greek ‘sappheiros’ meaning blue. However, sapphire does not occur only in blue color. Sapphires can be yellow, green, brown, purple or pink, depending on the presence of various types of minerals.
Sapphires have been of great significance to past societies. In Europe, during the Middle Ages, sapphires were believed to be an antidote against poisons. Although sapphires occur in a wide variety of colors, traditionally blue has been the most popular and valuable.
Yellow Sapphire is believed to attract wealth and bring prosperity to the family. For example, it is believed that a girl who wears yellow sapphire will get married early. People aspiring to administrative and political positions should wear it to give them the benefit of fate on their side. It is also said to aid in eliminating impurities from the body and stimulating the lymphatic system. Astrological gemologists recommend yellow sapphire to treat liver and gallbladder problems as well as disorders of the spleen and stomach.
As yellow sapphires increase in popularity, it is easier to find them in rings, pendants and earrings. Like other gemstones, price will depend on size, color and clarity of the stone. The skill of the gem cutter comes into play as well. A well cut stone will catch the light even in an artificially lit room.
Sapphire is the birthstone for the month of September. As such, a piece of jewelry with this gemstone makes a perfect elegant birthday present for those who were born in that month. Sapphire is also the anniversary stone for the 5th and 45th year. A piece of jewelry with this gemstone can also be a great anniversary present in these years.
