Studs Yellow Sapphire Earring 7.17 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight, 18K Yellow Gold

These yellow sapphire stud earrings make a subtle yet striking statement by balancing restrained, classic design with lively, eye catching color. The pair is intentionally understated in silhouette, allowing the gemstones to be the visual focus while maintaining an elegant profile that sits close to the earlobe. With a total sapphire weight of 7.17 carats, these ovals read as a refined luxury piece rather than an extravagant display, which is precisely why they appeal to an educated buyer seeking presence without ostentation. The way light plays across the mixed brilliant facets produces scintillation that is visible at a glance, and the bezel setting in 14K yellow gold frames the stones with a smooth, contemporary edge that complements the vivid yellow tones. These earrings create a subtle statement at a distance, and a striking display up close, offering versatility for both daytime refinement and evening polish.

From a gemological perspective each sapphire has been chosen and cut to maximize color and performance. Each oval sapphire measures 9.79 x 7.70 x 5.88 mm, and together they total 7.17 carats, which affords a significant presence while remaining wearable. The gems are mixed brilliant cut, a style that combines a faceted crown designed to enhance brilliance, with a well proportioned pavilion that returns light efficiently. The stones were evaluated at eye level and graded as eye clean, which means that no inclusions are evident to the unaided eye under normal viewing. This clarity grade is especially desirable in yellow sapphires because it allows the saturated color to remain the dominant characteristic. The saturation is vivid, and the polish is excellent, so the stones present clean facets and lively reflection, contributing to an overall perception of quality that an informed buyer can appreciate and quantify.

The sapphires originate from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a historical and respected source for sapphires with a reputation for producing stones that combine attractive color and clarity. The pair has been treated with beryllium diffusion, a widely used enhancement that introduces beryllium ions to influence and intensify color, especially in yellow and orange tones. Beryllium diffusion is disclosed because transparency about treatments is essential for informed purchasing. This treatment can produce uniform, vivid saturation that is stable under normal wear and common cleaning methods, and it is routinely accepted in trade and collecting circles when properly disclosed. For the educated buyer the most relevant factors remain the combination of origin, color saturation, cut quality, and eye clean clarity. Origin from Ceylon contributes an additional layer of desirability, because provenance influences market perception and often commands premium interest. When assessing long term value the buyer will consider these attributes together with proper documentation, and The Natural Sapphire Company provides full disclosure and can assist with lab grading and certification when required.

The setting and metal have been selected to reinforce the natural strengths of the sapphires while offering secure, comfortable wear. The pair is set entirely in 14K yellow gold, a classic choice that complements warm yellow tones in sapphire and provides a durable daily wear metal. The bezel design holds the ovals securely while protecting the girdle and edges from impact, and the low profile keeps the earrings suitable for everyday use, travel, and active lifestyles. Construction details include solid posts and snug friction backs to ensure stability on the ear. For care and longevity the recommended routine is gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners if you prefer to be conservative, and periodic inspection by a professional jeweler to confirm the setting remains secure. These earrings represent a considered purchase for someone who values color science, cut geometry, and responsible disclosure. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the quality and origin of these gemstones and is available to provide additional information, independent laboratory reports, and bespoke mounting options for clients who wish to personalize the piece or explore matching items.
