Yellow Orange Sapphire -31

5mm Yellow Orange Sapphire Solitaire mounted in 14k gold. Orange Sapphire owes its colour to the additional trace elements of chromium and iron in its formation, and ranges in hue from pale orange to a vivid reddish-orange, or a deep orange with brownish overtones. Though once considered an obscure and underestimated gem, it has recently gained in popularity for its rarity and beautiful fashion colour. Orange Sapphires are not mined in great quantities, so even stones with slight to moderate inclusions are still valuable gems. From antiquity, gemstones have been thought to possess mysterious powers. Sapphire is said to be the wisdom stone, stimulating concentration, enhancing creativity and promoting purity and depth of thought. It is believed to focus and calm the mind as well as remove unwanted thoughts, depression and mental tension. It is known as the stone of new love and commitment and is claimed to be useful in encouraging faithfulness and loyalty. Sapphire is thought to bring peace of mind, serenity and prosperity. Because of its blue colour, it is associated with the throat and brow chakras where energy imbalances are said to cause sore throats, headaches and nightmares.
