Yellow Sapphire
About yellow sapphire
Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj) is the gemstone of Guru (Jupiter) and among the most widely worn of all Navratna stones in India. A natural yellow corundum, it is traditionally worn on the index finger in gold or panchdhatu and is associated with wisdom, learning, marriage prospects and steady growth. Every Pukhraj in this collection is 100% natural, government lab certified, shown in a real photograph, and priced per ratti.

What decides Yellow Sapphire price
Pukhraj is priced per ratti. The rate depends on colour (a bright, even lemon to golden yellow is most valued), clarity (eye-clean stones cost considerably more), origin (Ceylon / Sri Lankan stones command a premium over Bangkok material) and treatment (unheated, untreated stones are the rarest and dearest). A large stone with poor colour can cost less than a small, clean, well-coloured one — weight alone never tells the whole story.
Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj) FAQ
Answers to the questions our customers ask us most
How many ratti Pukhraj should I wear?
A common guideline is one ratti per twelve kilograms of body weight, which puts most adults between 3 and 7 ratti. Follow your astrologer's specific reading where you have one; our team will help you find a certified stone that matches it.
Who should wear Yellow Sapphire?
It is generally recommended for Dhanu (Sagittarius) and Meen (Pisces) ascendants, and for anyone running a Jupiter mahadasha. It is also traditionally worn by those seeking progress in education, marriage or career direction.
Which day and finger for Pukhraj?
Traditionally worn on the index finger of the working hand, set in gold or panchdhatu, first worn on a Thursday morning after the ring has been energised.
Is Citrine a substitute for Yellow Sapphire?
Yes. Citrine (Sunela) is the most widely accepted budget substitute for Pukhraj, followed by yellow topaz. It is a good place to start if you want to test Jupiter's stone before investing in a fine sapphire.
