Price of Yellow Sapphire?

The price of the Yellow Sapphire stone depends on its origin, colour, clarity, weight and treatment. All of these parameters are taken together in order to measure the Pukhraj price, which spans a wide spectrum from ₹ 600 to ₹ 200000 per carat.

• Treatment
  Artificial heat or colour treatment is used to inflate the retail value of low-quality organisms. Untreated, unheated Yellow Sapphire is far more precious than fake, glass-filled or lab-filled specimens. It’s easier to buy certified Pukhraj online than from a distributor.

• Clarity
  Yellow Sapphire prices do much higher than most precious gemstones when it comes to inclusions. However, whatever the quantity, quality, density and position of the inclusions, the average Yellow Sapphire price per carat is lower. Clean, transparent pieces attract high prices than those that are heavily included.

• Color
  Color has a minor impact on the price of Pukhraj stone. A bright, yellow or canary Yellow Sapphire with a strong colour balance is more desirable than one with a green, gold or orange tint.
• Cut
  The way a stone is cut does not only improve its shape, but can cleverly cover up the inclusions as well. In addition, the stone wastage caused by the production of Rough Yellow Sapphire gemstone is expressed in its increased costs. A faceted cut yellow sapphire is therefore more costly than a rectangular, oval or cushion cut Yellow Sapphire.
