the yellow sapphire mystery

We have been in the industry for over twenty years and although we don't claim to know it all we believe to have our fair share of knowledge. Until we had a client that was adamant he have a 4+ carat untreated natural yellow sapphire in a round, oval or cushion shape. We deal with specific requests often and we tailor to all sorts of client drivin guidelines but we found this request ultra specific. The mystery of these requests left us researching the mythology of the beautiful yellow sapphire.

The yellow sapphire is regarded as the best of gemstones much like Jupiter is regarded as the teacher of all gods. Jupiter represents wisdom, religion and wealth. It focuses on what one wants to achieve in life.  The wearer of yellow sapphire gets the knowledge of law, ethics, wit, wisdom, worldly happiness and mental peace. It is most beneficial to authors, writers and businessmen. The yellow sapphire energizes the concentration of the mind and gives warmth and protection to relationship. It can be used in healing various diseases like arthritis, heart problems and impotency. In Hindu traditions the yellow Sapphire is worn for marriage, boy or girl who are not married or their marriage is delayed for any reasons shall wear Yellow Sapphire. It is also worn for conjugal bliss.

Yellow sapphires are worn in Hindu and Vedic traditions. In both beliefs the yellow sapphire is used to bring great wealth and prosper to new marriage and business ventures. There are several recommendations to bring the most success to the wearer but both traditions have the same guideline to success:

• The bearer should start wearing the yellow sapphire on a Thursday within an hour of sunrise.
• Sapphire must be natural; no colour or heat treating.
• The yellow sapphire should be a minimum of 2 carats but 4 carats is ideal.
• If the yellow sapphire is being set into jewelry, it must be set in gold. 
• If the sapphire is set into a ring, it must be worn on the index finger of the right hand.
• The yellow sapphire must be of extremely high quality.

a man's band

As a custom design studio, we've learned that there really is endless opportunities. Jewellers tend to focus more on the women's engagement ring whilst there really is more options for men's bands than most people know. Of course style, affordability, and comfort are top of mind in most groom-to-bes but ring metal and material might be a more difficult decision than you might think.  Besides your basic platinum, gold, and sterling silver we've compiled a little bit of information on a few of our most popular up and coming alloys.

TUNGSTEN CARBIDE

This specially engineered, exclusively patented metal formulation is a unique blend of tungsten and carbon that creates a material that's one of the hardest materials used in jewelry. In fact, Tungsten Carbide TC.850TM is ten times harder than gold. As one of the most popular choices for men's wedding bands (second only to Gold), Tungsten Carbide is hypoallergenic and known for being the most scratch-resistant metal choice, ensuring your ring will retain its natural color and alluring luster for as long as you own it. The superior formulation of Tungsten Carbide TC.850TM is only available at licensed jewelers

TITANIUM

Sleek. Timeless. Cool. Titanium is often referred to as the "space age metal" for its low density, strong, lustrous, corrosion-resistant surface, and rich grey coloring. As strong as some steels, but 45% lighter in weight, titanium possesses the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal.

COBALT

Cobalt is a hypoallergenic and tarnish resistant bright white metal that has been used in jewelry for hundreds of years. This strong, solid contemporary metal is durable, dense, and similar in weight to gold. Rich in shine and sophistication, it's a solid material that evokes classic masculinity and strength.

STAINLESS STEEL

Rugged and refined, stainless steel is one of the most popular metals used in jewelry and watch-making today. Its familiar luster and stain resistant properties make it an easy, low maintenance choice that looks great and will last for years. Triton jewelry features the highest quality stainless steel, 316L, which does not rust and has increased resistance to corrosion.

DIAMONDS

Born from coal, diamonds are the hardest known naturally occurring substance on earth, so hard in fact it is the standard that all other materials are measured against. Diamonds are used in a wide variety of industries for its superior abilities in precision cutting and as strong abrasives. Having few weaknesses and many strengths, diamonds have earned their status as the world's most popular gem and are available in many colors, even black.
