Yellow Sapphire Price Per Carat

There is no universal fixed price per carat for natural yellow sapphire. Two gemstones of identical weight can have significantly different values because of colour, clarity, cut, treatment and origin.

Fine yellow sapphires with attractive colour, good transparency and well-executed cuts may attract stronger buyer interest.

Rough yellow sapphire and finished faceted yellow sapphire should be evaluated separately because cutting, weight loss and finished appearance affect their market values.
