About blue sapphire

Setting and wearing

Set the stone in a ring, pendant or bracelet of your choice. A setting that lets the stone touch the skin is a common choice, along with the day, finger and metal an astrologer recommends.

Care

Give it an occasional wipe with a soft, dry cloth. It is a fairly durable stone, but still keep it away from perfume, hairspray and hard knocks.

Gifting

Gems are given at birthdays and milestones, and are most appreciated when the recipient's chart has been considered.

Each gem has its own shade, clarity and inclusions; a small difference from the photos is to be expected. Expect the colour to look slightly different in sunlight and lamplight. Certificate and treatment details are not shown on this page; if a lab report matters to you, message us before ordering.

A common pre-purchase question: check the listing details and photos first, then message us if anything is unclear.

FAQs

What weight is right for me?

Most buyers decide by budget and stone size; those using the gem astrologically usually follow their astrologer. A common rule of thumb in gemstone astrology is a weight in Ratti that relates to body weight, but recommendations differ between astrologers.

Should I check with an astrologer first?

Tradition says a gem's suitability depends on the individual horoscope. Consulting first is common practice, and an astrological report is available on Brahmatells.

Is certification provided?

Certification details are not included on this page. If you need a lab report for a specific stone, message us before ordering.
