How to Select a Blue Sapphire That’s Right for You

Blue Sapphire, or Neelam in Vedic astrology, is perhaps the most powerful and transformative Navratna gemstone. Ruled by the planet Saturn (Shani), this stone is known for providing quick prosperity, mental focus, safeguarding and spiritual advancement when it’s selected properly.

Since Blue Sapphire is such a powerful, high-energy, and fast-acting gemstone, it may not be suitable for everyone. Read on as we walk you through the key considerations in selecting the best Blue Sapphire for your needs and explain why Navratan is the best place to find the right one for you.

1. Know What You’re Getting Into Astrological Compatibility

Even before you start exploring Blue Sapphire jewelry and accessories, you need to find out if it’s right for you astrologically. This powerful gemstone is the symbol of Saturn, a planet associated with karmic discipline, patience, and justice. When Saturn is malefic in your birth chart, it could be quite a bit tougher, even severe.

Reach out to a Vedic astrologer to:

• See Saturn’s placement in your natal chart

• Know whether you’re experiencing Sade Sati or Shani Mahadasha

• Receive the perfect carat weight and wearing care advice

Navratan provides complimentary Vedic astrology consultations with every Blue Sapphire purchase, ensuring your stone harmonizes beautifully with your unique cosmic energy.

2 . Select the Best Start Point

The source of a Blue Sapphire deeply influences its beauty and astrological energy. Among the most valued are:

• Kashmir Blue Sapphires are highly rare and considered the finest sapphires prized for their velvety royal blue color. (FGarant, Teskey, Wilks and so much more.

• Ceylon (Sri Lankan) Sapphires: They have a lighter, brilliant blue tone and are typically flawless in quality. Tied for first overall, major use case astrology.

• Burman sapphires, or sapphires from Myanmar, exhibit a velvety quality that gives them depth. Bright rich blue color, deep and vibrant saturation with superior clarity.

• Madagascar sapphires are a spectacular choice that’s rapidly becoming the go-to sapphire due to their good availability. Unmatched clarity and uniform coloring has made Madagascar sapphires a spectacular choice.

Navratan is proud to present an exceptional collection of our Blue Sapphires from Ceylon, Burma and Madagascar, all certified and untreated, providing you astrologically effective and gemologically rare treasures.

3. Pay Attention to the Color and Clarity

The color of a Blue Sapphire is one of the most crucial factors in judging its quality and potency.

• Medium to deep royal blue or cornflower blue

• Don’t use stones that are overly dark (blackish-blue) or overly light (grayish-blue)

Clarity is just as important. Pick a stone that’s:

• Eye-clean – refers to stones that have no visible major flaws under 10× magnification.

• Transparent: light can pass through without distortion or separation of colors.

Each Blue Sapphire at Navratan is painstakingly handpicked and graded – stone by stone, clarity, top-tier color, cut – the more commonly found gems that make for beauty and energy flow.

4. Choose the Ideal Carat Weight

The weight (ratti or carat) of the Blue Sapphire must be appropriate for your body weight and planetary need.

• Minimum weight advised to start with 1/10th of body weight in kg(e.g., 60 kg person → 6 carats)

Too light a stone does not give the desired astrological effects, while too heavy a stone can be overpowering. Navratan’s experienced staff guide you through picking the right weight that meets both your astrologically and financial needs.

5. Choose the Cut, Tone, and Level

While the metaphysical power of the stone should be your first consideration, the cut and the setting come into play, particularly if you plan to wear it every day.

• Preferred Cuts Oval, cushion, and round shapes that maximize light reflection

• Preferred Settings Gold or silver rings, or pendants Ring worn on middle finger (Saturday, during Shani Hora)

Navratan provides customized blue sapphire jewelry settings, making sure that your blue sapphire is not only astrologically apt but fashionably chic.

6. Keep the Stone Natural and Untreated

Most Blue Sapphires found in the market are heat treated or synthetic, which greatly diminishes their astrological efficacy. To achieve authentic outcomes, consistently seek:

• 100% Natural (Unheated and/or Untreated)

• Obtained certificates of analysis from reputable third party laboratories

• Without artificial additives

With Navratan, each Blue Sapphire is accompanied by authentic certification and a detailed gemstone report, ensuring you're wearing nothing but the best.
