Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj): questions people ask
What is yellow sapphire (Pukhraj)?
Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj) is the gemstone jyotish links with Jupiter (Guru). Prosperity, wisdom and a blessed marriage. It is traditionally worn for wealth & abundance, love & marriage and career & fame. Common origins include Bangkok and Sri Lankan (Ceylon).
Who should wear yellow sapphire?
Jyotish suggests a planet's stone when that planet rules the 1st, 5th or 9th house from your ascendant (lagna). Yellow Sapphire is the life stone for Dhanu (Sagittarius) and Meena (Pisces) ascendants. It is also favoured for Mesha (Aries), Karka (Cancer), Simha (Leo) and Vrishchika (Scorpio). For Vrishabha (Taurus), Tula (Libra) and Makara (Capricorn), Jupiter rules the 6th, 8th or 12th house and no trine, so it is usually avoided. Our gemstone finder works this out from your birth date, time and place.
How do you wear yellow sapphire?
Set yellow sapphire in gold so the stone touches the skin, and wear it on the index finger of your working hand. Put it on for the first time on a Thursday morning, ideally in the first hour after sunrise during the waxing fortnight (Shukla paksha). Our wearing-time tool shows the next good Thursday window for your city.
How much does yellow sapphire cost?
Price depends on weight, colour, clarity, origin and treatment. As a guide, yellow sapphire starts at about ₹11,500 per carat. The 2 certified yellow sapphire pieces in our shop right now range from ₹51,199 to ₹52,949, each with its lab report and carat weight listed. Jyotish prescriptions are often given in ratti; 1 carat is about 1.1 ratti.
How can I tell if yellow sapphire is real?
Buy yellow sapphire with a report from IGI, GII, GRS, SSEF or Gübelin, then check the report number on the lab's own website. The report names the mineral, the weight and any treatment such as heating or filling. Natural stones usually show small inclusions under magnification; a flawless stone at a low price deserves a second look.
Is there a substitute for yellow sapphire?
Yes. Stones that share yellow sapphire's planet, Jupiter, include citrine. Jyotishis accept them as gentler, more affordable substitutes (uparatna), usually prescribed in a higher weight. A substitute is not the same as a mislabelled stone: the lab report should still name exactly what it is.
