3.71 Cts Natural Thai Yellow Sapphire – Pear Shape

Compact brilliance. That's what you get with this 3.71-carat pear from Old Bangkok. At 11.51 × 9.94 × 3.98 mm, this isn't about overwhelming size—it's about perfect proportions and that pure yellow color that catches light and throws it back with intensity. Look at the photos: the teardrop shape creates elegant lines, while the color saturation remains consistent from the rounded base to the pointed tip.

The Ideal Pear

Pear cuts live or die by their proportions. Too elongated and they look stretched. Too wide and they lose elegance. This one hits the sweet spot—the 11.51mm length paired with the 9.94mm width creates a balanced teardrop that's neither stubby nor needle-thin. The yellow color distributes evenly throughout, with no dead zones at the point or color pooling at the base. The good clarity means you're looking into the stone, watching light interact with that yellow all the way through the pavilion.

Bangkok's Bright Character

Old Bangkok sapphires are known for producing yellows with strong color saturation, and this piece exemplifies that character. The stone has been gently heated, a traditional enhancement used for centuries to optimize the color already present in the rough. It's not creating something that wasn't there; it's bringing out the stone's full potential. The international market recognizes heated Bangkok sapphires as premium material, valued for their stable, permanent color enhancement. At 4.04 ratti, this falls into the ideal range where the stone has presence without being excessive.

Jupiter's Elegant Drop

In Vedic astrology, yellow sapphire is Pukhraj, Jupiter's gemstone for wisdom, prosperity, and spiritual growth. The pear shape offers unique versatility for astrological use: it creates a graceful drop in pendants where the point can hang naturally, or works beautifully in rings where the shape creates an elongating, flattering effect on the finger. DGLA certification documents the origin and treatment, giving you third-party verification of what you're acquiring.
