We’ll walk you through all you need to know before investing in a Royal Blue Sapphire, from color to cut to certification—and learn how Navratan – The Online Gem Bazar helps you buy with confidence and clarity.

1. What Exactly Is a Royal Blue Sapphire?

A Royal Blue Sapphire is blue corundum, usually noted for a deep, vivid blue hue. This particular tone—not too bright, not too deep—itself is representative of taste and grandeur. It’s a color that’s frequently referred to as “velvety,” possessing just the right mixture of saturation, tone, and luminescence.

Royal Blue Sapphires are most famously mined in :

• Sri Lanka (Ceylon) – Renowned for bright, rich, royal blue shades.

• Myanmar (Burma) – Very dark shades of blue, very light shades of blue

• Kashmir – Rare and antique stones with a rare cornflower blue tint

Each provenance contributes unique characteristics to the rock, often seen in market value and demand.

2. Learn the 4 Cs of Royal Blue Sapphire

Similar to diamonds, sapphires are judged on their 4 Cs—Color, Clarity, Cut, and Carat.

Color

Their biggest obstacle, arguably greater than their higher price, is their appeal. Choose a velvet, saturated, royal blue color spread uniformly throughout the stone no blackish appearances or very light blue.

 Transparency

While minor inclusions are normal in sapphires, the less, the best. Such eye-clean stones — with no visible inclusions — are preferred. There are some inclusions that can tell you the stone came from nature.

Further reading at the cutting edge 

An excellent cut will maximize the stone’s brilliance and increase the appearance of the color. Faceted cuts such as oval, cushion, and emerald shapes are common for Royal Blue Sapphires.

Carat Weight

Larger sapphires are much rarer and much more exponentially priced. Decide on a carat size that meets your budget, desired aesthetic and astrological needs.

3. The Importance of Origin and Certification

As these examples illustrate, origin is one of the most powerful determinants of a Royal Blue Sapphire’s value. Kashmiri sapphires, for example, being rare collector’s items, fetch the highest prices. Ceylon and Burmese sapphires are closely sought after.

Always purchase a colored stone with an accompanying gemological report from an independent lab (GRS, IGI, GIA, or SSEF). At Navratan, each Royal Blue Sapphire comes with lab certification that guarantees its authenticity, origin and if it has undergone treatment.

4. Treated Untreated Sapphires

Heat treatment is an accepted industry practice, as it is for all gem materials, to improve a sapphire’s color or clarity. Untreated (unheated) sapphires are much more valuable and distinctive.

At Navratan, you’ll discover the largest range of unheated, untreated Royal Blue Sapphires, clearly marked with certification, offering total transparency.

5 . Astrological Compatibility and Vedic Wisdom

In Vedic astrology, Royal Blue Sapphire (Neelam) is governed by planet Saturn (Shani) and is reputed for its potent and swift impact. It is thought to bestow its wearer with discipline, wealth, and protection—but only if it matches their planetary alignment.

Due to its great power, it is highly recommended to seek the wisdom of a qualified astrologer before having one made or wearing one. To prevent this from happening, Navratan provides complimentary astrological guidance with every purchase to guarantee the gemstone you select is in complete harmony with your individual birth chart.

6 . Price Guide How Much Should You Be Paying?

Prices for Royal Blue Sapphire can range greatly depending on origin, treatment, carat size and clarity. Here’s a very back-of-the-envelope calculation.

• Hot, commercial quality (Ceylon): ₹15,000 – ₹50,000 per carat
