Gold colored gems

[sprinklesparkles]

I'm not familiar with colored gems so wanted to pop by here for starter advice.

I've had an itch for gold-colored gems in yellow gold studs or a small eternity band. I really want the color of the gems to be a buttery gold, not orange, pale yellow, or yellow-green.

Any advice on gems that fit that bill?

I can't think of any that are buttery, unless there's a yellow sapphire you find. I found these lists:

ETA: I have golden beryl, which I consider yellow:

Some chrysoberyl, yellow sapphire, and diamonds are a golden yellow.

What about pearls?

Topaz, or possibly tourmaline(really rare though) could also fit the bill. I would keep those to studs as they're not as durable.

Citrine as well.

Also some golden beryl.

You may find some opals have a buttery yellow but I suspect you're looking for something with facets. A buttery yellow is not a common colour for gemstones however as mentioned above you might find a yellow diamond with a colour that matches the colour of 18k gold.

+1 for yellow sapphires, they come in every shade of yellow!
