I was reading about sapphires and came across the following two old threads about sapphires being notorious for bleeding its color in low / incandescent lighting conditions. The discussion was related to blue sapphires, and I wonder, does yellow sapphire have the same bleeding problem?

I am contemplating a tension ring like Vote4PedroToo's or MikeRato1's, but with a sapphire (probably round) in 18K rose gold. I want the sapphire to be lively both indoors and outdoors, and wonder if a yellow sapphire will be lively in more different lighting conditions than a blue sapphire?

Thank you for reading! Your input will be greatly appreciated.
 
I'm not sure but I image yellow sapphires can also bleed colour (maybe lose saturation), and possibly turn brownish in some lighting situations.

I have no idea though :tongue:
