Whether you’re drawn to the golden warmth of citrine or the luxe sparkle of a yellow diamond, these sunny stones are ready to light up your fine jewelry collection.

Let’s dive into five types of yellow gemstones that you’ll want to rock - and learn the magic behind each one!

Sapphire

Think sapphires are only blue? Think again! This iconic gem comes in a rainbow of hues, and yellow sapphire is one of the most enchanting. Ranking a 9 on the Mohs scale, sapphires are durable enough for daily wear and carry a history of love, purity, and devotion. Yellow sapphire is also believed to promote optimism, inner peace, and clarity - like a little ray of sunshine for your soul!

Diamond

Nothing sparkles quite like a diamond - and yellow diamonds bring an extra dose of golden radiance. Among natural fancy diamonds, yellow is the most abundant, with the coveted “canary diamond” prized for its rich, saturated color. The sunny hue is all thanks to nitrogen atoms in the crystal structure, which filter out blue light and leave us with that irresistible golden glow. How lovely is that?

Citrine

Bright, cheerful and oh-so-vibrant, citrine is the gemstone embodiment of good vibes only! With a 7 on the Mohs scale, it’s both durable and dazzling, making it a favorite for everyday jewelry. Known as a stone of joy and abundance, citrine is said to energize your spirit and bring a spark of positivity wherever you go!

Tourmaline

Tourmaline is a true chameleon of the gemstone world - it comes in nearly every shade imaginable, including radiant yellow. Ranking 7–7.5 on the Mohs scale, this gem is not only durable but also brimming with symbolism. Known as a promoter of happiness and unconditional love, yellow tourmaline is perfect for jewelry that feels both meaningful and magical!

Topaz

Last, but definitely not least, let’s talk topaz! This gem is all about versatility, with shades that range from icy clear to golden yellow, warm orange, and even blush pink. What makes it fascinating? It’s allochromatic - its colors come from natural imperfections within the crystal, not the gem’s chemical makeup. Yellow topaz, in particular, carries the symbolism of love, affection, and renewal. Ranking an 8 on the Mohs scale, topaz is strong, vibrant, and believed to calm the heart while sparking motivation.
