9.5 Carat Natural Thai Yellow Sapphire – Pear Shape

Look at that color. Pure, bright yellow—the kind that catches light and throws it back with intensity. This 9.5-carat Thai sapphire from Old Bangkok doesn't whisper; it announces itself. The pear shape at 17.1 × 12.00 × 5.61 mm creates a teardrop silhouette that's been coveted in fine jewelry for centuries, and when you fill that shape with this level of color saturation, you've got something special.

The Pear Advantage

Pear cuts are tricky. Done poorly, they look awkward. Done well—like this—they combine the brilliance of a round cut with the elegance of a marquise. The pointed end creates visual drama, while the rounded base offers stability for setting. At 17.1mm in length, this has serious presence. The yellow color distributes evenly throughout, with no dead zones or color concentration at the culet. That's what separates quality cutting from production work.

Bangkok's Bright Yellows

Old Bangkok sapphires come in a range of yellows, from pale lemon to deep golden. This one sits in the bright yellow zone—vivid, clean, eye-catching. The stone has been gently heated, a traditional practice in Thai sapphire treatment that optimizes the color already present in the rough. It's not creating color 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. The good clarity means you're seeing into the stone, watching light interact with that yellow all the way through.

Jupiter in Pear Form

For those seeking Pukhraj (yellow sapphire for Jupiter), this delivers the essentials: substantial weight at 10.35 ratti, good clarity, strong color, and proper certification from DGLA. The pear shape offers versatility—it works beautifully in pendants where the point can hang gracefully, or in rings where it creates an elongating effect on the finger. Traditional heat treatment is accepted by many astrological practitioners as it doesn't fundamentally alter the stone's nature.
