Buying a loose gemstone gives you independence, you get the freedom to make your own choice, your own jewelry design.
A natural 1.11 carat total weight matched pair of yellow sapphires in square cushion cut, completely unheated, documented on AGCL Report #M262622. This pair has been matched for color balance, saturation, and dimensional symmetry for left-right earring and accent applications. Both stones show the same yellow tone under the same lighting conditions. At 1.11 ctw across the pair, each stone weighs approximately 0.55 carats in matched format — a size suited for earring center stones and three-stone ring side positions.
Expert Opinion
Ahmed Shareek's Assessment
"This 1.11 ctw pair is matched not just for hue but for tone — the harder variable to control in yellow sapphire, since warmth shifts more visibly under changing light than it does in blue or pink material. Both stones are unheated per AGCL Report #M262622, at approximately 0.55 ct each in matched square cushion cut."
Rarity Analysis
Yellow sapphire is a comparatively available hue overall, but a genuinely matched pair — consistent in both tone and dimension — is a narrower subset of that supply.
-
Color: Yellow is a moderately available sapphire hue, but matching two separate stones to identical tone and saturation is materially harder than sourcing one attractive yellow stone.
-
Size: At 1.11 ctw combined (approx. 0.55 ct per stone), this pair sits in the practical earring-center range; matched yellow pairs become progressively scarcer as combined weight increases.
-
Treatment: Most commercial yellow sapphire is heat-treated to intensify color; this pair is unheated in both stones per AGCL Report #M262622.
-
Matching: Saturation matching in yellow is harder to achieve than in blue, since yellow's warmth is more visibly light-sensitive — both stones here read identically under the same lighting.
-
Documentation: AGCL Report #M262622 confirms natural corundum, total weight, shape, and no indication of heating for the pair.
-
Combined effect: An unheated, tone-matched yellow pair in identical cushion cut is a narrower combination than sourcing two similar-looking yellow stones independently.
Buying Guidance
A few practical points to weigh before purchasing this specific stone:
-
View both stones side by side under the same light source to confirm tone consistency — yellow sapphire's saturation can shift more than other hues under mixed lighting.
-
Check your setting's basket depth: the 4.50 x 4.48 mm average per-stone footprint and 3.29 mm average pavilion depth should match your mounting's specifications.
-
Request lab documentation when comparison shopping: "matched pair" claims vary widely in how strictly color and dimension were actually controlled.
-
Weigh availability against the Rarity Analysis above: unheated, tone-matched yellow pairs at this combined weight don't restock predictably.
-
Use the Try Before You Buy option if you would like to see the stone in hand before finalizing the purchase.

Why Choose this 1.11 ctw Unheated Yellow Sapphire Matched Pair?

This pair has been selected for consistency of both color and tone across both stones, making it directly usable in any earring or three-stone setting.
