No reserve price Yellow Sapphire - 1.17 ct - International Gemological Institute (IGI) - Unheated Gem

Yellow sapphires belong to the corundum mineral family, the same group that includes rubies and traditional blue sapphires. Their striking yellow color arises primarily from trace amounts of iron. The 1.17-carat size places this sapphire in a desirable range for fine jewelry, offering brilliant color without being overly large. Notably, this sapphire is described as 'unheated,' meaning it has not undergone the common heat treatments typically used to enhance clarity or color in sapphires. An unheated stone is generally more valued by collectors for its natural character. The certification by the International Gemological Institute (IGI) attests to the gem's authenticity and quality, providing reassurance to buyers. Widely appreciated in various cultures for its vibrant hue and symbolic meanings, yellow sapphires are associated with prosperity, wisdom, and health, making them popular in both traditional and contemporary designs.
