FAQs

How do I pick a 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. Some astrologers relate the Ratti weight to body weight; others use different rules, so recommendations vary.

Which planet is Blue Sapphire linked to?

In Jyotish, blue sapphire is linked with Shani (Saturn).

Should I check with an astrologer first?

Gemstone astrology holds that the right stone depends on your chart. Consulting first is common practice, and an astrological report is available on Brahmatells.
