In ancient Egypt, they wore rings on the third finger of the left hand to mark where the "vein of love" went directly to the heart, starting a tradition that continues today. When pledging your love with a unique engagement ring, you are starting your own family tradition. The most important value factor to consider when shopping for yellow sapphire engagement jewelry is the quality of the center stone.

When taking off your engagement ring, don't pull on the gemstone: this won't damage the gem but it can, over time, stretch the metal that holds it in place, making the setting less secure.

In ancient times, a gift of a sapphire was a pledge of honesty and devotion. Yellow sapphire combines the value of sapphire in a sunny bright color. When shopping for yellow sapphire jewelry, the most important factors to consider are the quality, color and cut of the sapphire. The more vibrant and bright the hue, the more valuable the yellow sapphire will be. Also, the larger the carat weight, the more the sapphire will cost per carat. Clarity is more important than for blue sapphire since the paler color means inclusions will be more visible. Before their final polish, most sapphires are heat-enhanced to almost 2,000 degrees in order to improve the color and clarity. This stable treatment does not require special care and does not reduce the gem's value. Sapphire is the September birthstone, the 5th and 45th wedding anniversary gem, and the zodiac gem for Virgo. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality yellow sapphire will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine yellow sapphire jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
