Scratch resistance, not a measure of resistance to breaking.

Colour & appearance

Light to deep blue, sometimes with colour zoning.

These describe the gem variety. The actual stone’s identity, condition and treatment are confirmed separately.

A closer look at Blue Sapphire

About the gemstone

Blue sapphire is blue corundum. Its hue, tone, clarity and treatment history affect appearance and value.

Care & keeping

Gentle soapy-water cleaning is suitable for many stones. Confirm treatments before steam or ultrasonic cleaning.

Before you buy

Ask specifically about heating, diffusion treatments and laboratory-grown status. Request a stone-specific report to understand exactly what is offered.

How do I choose the right weight and setting?

Choose a comfortable size for your hand or pendant, within your budget. Ask for the stone’s weight in carats, its dimensions and a separate setting quote. For planetary use, discuss your birth details and preferred wearing tradition with Parina rather than using a universal weight formula.

What should I send when enquiring?

Tell us your budget, preferred ring or pendant design and whether the stone is for jewellery or planetary practice. Request actual photos or a video, weight, treatment details, available laboratory documentation and final price before deciding.

Devotional guidance · Saturday

Neelam bija mantra

ॐ प्रां प्रीं प्रौं सः शनैश्चराय नमः

Oṃ prāṃ prīṃ prauṃ saḥ śanaiścarāya namaḥ

Reflective intention: Patience, responsibility and consistent effort.

A meaningful first wearing

Place the jewellery on a clean cloth, sit quietly and set an intention. Recite at a comfortable pace, then close with gratitude. Use the gemstone’s own care instructions rather than soaking it in ritual mixtures.

Common traditional form; pronunciation and rites vary. Discuss formal practice with your teacher or Parina.
