Yellow Sapphire

Yellow Sapphire stone is an eminently precious, yellow colored gemstone of the Corundum mineral family with Mohs scale rating of 9. Sri Lanka, Burma, Thailand, and Australia are fruitful sources of natural Yellow Sapphires. Ceylon Yellow Sapphire (Sri Lanka) is universally acclaimed for its clarity and color consistency, followed by Burmese Yellow Sapphire (Myanmar). Thailand Yellow Sapphire, African or Madagascar origins are less popular because of reduced color concentration and high inclusions. Yellow Sapphire is affiliated with Jupiter, the most powerful planet in Indian astrology, and is the birthstone for people born in the beginning of summer (June 21 - July 21).

Orange Sapphire

Orange sapphires are quite rare and are some of the most difficult sapphires to find in a natural, untreated state. Most orange sapphires today are coming from Australia and Madagascar, with others from Sri Lanka and Tanzania. The color of most orange sapphires has a secondary tone of yellow as well. Intense orange sapphires that are untreated and naturally orange color can be expensive and difficult to find in a larger carat size.

Diamond

Diamonds are a form of the element carbon with a crystal structure. Diamond's great hardness relative to other materials has been known since antiquity, and is the source of its name derived from the ancient Greek ἀδάμας that means "unbreakable". 

Diamonds are the hardest natural substance on earth and rate a 10 on the Mohs Hardness Scale. Diamond is also known as April's birthstone. They are thought to be first recognized and mined in India many centuries ago.

Four characteristics, known informally as the "Four Cs", are now commonly used as the basic descriptors of diamonds: Carat, Clarity, Color and Cut.

This system was developed by GIA (Gemological Institute of America), one of the major gemological associations internationally recognized to evaluate diamond characteristics.

The carat weight measures the mass of a diamond and the clarity is a measure of internal defects of a diamond called inclusions. GIA’s D-to-Z diamond color-grading system measures the degree of colorlessness: the finest quality as per color grading is totally colorless, which is graded as D color diamond across the globe, meaning it is absolutely free from any color. Last, the cut of a diamond describes the quality of workmanship and the angles to which a diamond is cut.
