About blue sapphire

Blue sapphire (Neelam) is a corundum gemstone and the gem of Shani (Saturn) in Vedic tradition. Vedic practice normally starts with a horoscope review by a qualified astrologer before a gemstone is chosen. Its traditional associations are symbolic, not promises of any result.

Setting and wearing

Set the stone in a ring, pendant or bracelet of your choice. Many wearers choose a setting that lets the back of the stone touch the skin, and follow the day, finger and metal advised by their astrologer.

Care

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. It is reasonably hard-wearing; even so, keep it clear of sprays, perfume and sharp impacts.

Gifting

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

Natural gemstones vary in shade, clarity and inclusions, and small differences from the photos are normal. 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

How do I choose the weight?

The right weight comes down to budget, how large you want the stone to look and, if you follow astrology, your astrologer's guidance. There is a familiar body-weight rule for Ratti, but astrologers do not all follow it.

Should I check with an astrologer first?

Gemstone astrology suggests that suitability depends on your horoscope. Most wearers check with an astrologer beforehand; a report can be booked on Brahmatells.

Is there a lab certificate?
