There are not many yellow gemstones. While there is a huge selection of green and blue gemstones, there is not much choice for yellow gemstones apart from citrine. However, we do have a few suggestions.
CYTRYN
Citrine is the most popular yellow gemstone available in jewelry stores. Like purple amethyst, it is a variety of quartz. In nature, it also occurs in combination with amethyst as ametrine – a yellow-purple stone in which the color gradually transitions from one to the other. What's more, amethysts are often used to imitate citrines, as amethysts turn light yellow when heated to nearly 500°C.
DIAMONDS at the Mint
Diamonds are not always colorless. There are also fancy colored diamonds. These are usually warm colors such as yellow, orange, or brown (slightly cheaper), while pink, green, blue, or purple (much more expensive) are much rarer. Due to their extreme rarity, fancy-colored diamonds are generally not used in the production of ready-made jewelry available at jewelers. Most of them are set to individual order. However, you can find jewelry with yellow diamonds in the ready-made offer, which are much more readily available and therefore much cheaper than diamonds in cool colors. We wrote more about fancy colored diamonds at the Mint here.
TOPAZ
Yellow diamonds are obviously beautiful, but very expensive, so it is worth finding an alternative. Apart from citrine, yellow topaz is also an interesting option. Jewelry stores most often offer jewelry with blue topaz, but topaz can also be yellow – similar to citrine, but more shiny.
ZIRCON
Another alternative is zircon (not to be confused with zirconia). Zirconium comes in a wide range of colors. It can be colorless, yellow (golden), orange, pink, red, green, purple, blue, brown, gray, and even black. It has a beautiful shine, but unfortunately, it is fragile and prone to damage.
AMBER
Amber is a relatively easily accessible yellow stone at an affordable price. Amber can be almost colorless, milky white, orange, red, black, and even greenish and iridescent blue. Those with a warm, honey color (from light yellow to brown) are the most popular, hence their greater availability and relatively low price. We wrote more about amber at the Mint here.
