Looking to buy a loose yellow sapphire...

[Calcio425]

Anyone know any reputable online retailers?
More specifically I'm looking for a radiant cut around 1 cwt.
Thanks in advance for your assitance.

Have a look through the vendors on the stickied vendors thread.

Radiant is not a common shape for sapphire and depending on other limitations you may have (treatment, saturation level, modifiers or lack of them), getting one custom cut is a good option, should you not find anything.

To add, I'd ask Africagems if they have something for you as they have quite a few radiant cut sapphires available, but only pairs for yellow (very beautiful pairs, like: http://www.africagems.com/radiant-sapphire-pr-yellow-g2k965.html)

Would you think of a radiant yellow diamond instead as that's a common shape for fancy colored diamonds. also, since sapphires are heavier you'd be looking at under a carat in a diamond.

Great idea if the OP's budget would allow for it.

There's three radiant cut yellow sapphires available here: http://www.gemfix.com/sapphire_yellow_orange.html

Two of them are around the size you're after, but they're quite pale in colour. Do you have a preference on whether you want a pale yellow or a darker richer yellow?

You've already received some excellent suggestions, but in case you're still looking, the Gem Trader also has a pretty golden-yellow radiant-cut pair of sapphires:

In my (very limited) experience, they seem well priced.

Good luck!

My sil has an e ring made from one of those sapphires from TGT. He had a few of those. Though this was more yellow than gold yellow . I'd email him though he may have more I remember this was one he had but hadn't posted on his site

That ring you helped have made for your SIL is so beautiful, Niel! >Sorry for the brief threadjack!<
