Features of blue sapphires

Blue Sapphire stone is renowned for its exceptional brilliance, which comes from its high refractive index, allowing it to bend light effectively and create a sparkling, radiant appearance. This natural brilliance, combined with its deep colour, makes it one of the most attractive gemstones in fine jewellery.
Chemically, Blue Sapphire is known as Aluminium Oxide (Al₂O₃) and belongs to the Corundum group, the same family as ruby. This composition gives the gemstone its remarkable durability and vivid colour.
Blue Sapphires are available in a range of shades from pale blue to deep royal blue, with the highly prized “cornflower blue” (Kashmir sapphire) considered the finest due to its soft, velvety hue and rich saturation.
A unique feature of some Blue Sapphires is asterism, also known as the star effect, caused by fine needle-like inclusions within the stone. When viewed under direct light, this creates a star-like pattern on the surface, adding rarity and visual appeal to the gemstone.
Ranking 9 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, Blue Sapphire is extremely resistant to scratches and damage, making it an excellent choice for everyday jewellery such as rings and bracelets. Its combination of durability, brilliance, and fire ensures long-lasting beauty.
Beyond its physical properties, Blue Sapphire is also valued for its spiritual significance. It is widely associated with wisdom, truth, faith, loyalty, and commitment, and is considered a powerful gemstone in astrology.
Blue Sapphires are sourced from regions such as Kashmir (India), Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Madagascar, Thailand, and Australia, with Kashmir sapphires being especially renowned for their superior quality and rare colour.

Also known by traditional names such as Neelam, Neelamu, and Neelmani, Blue Sapphire remains one of the most sought-after gemstones for both jewellery and astrological purposes.

What is the price for blue sapphires in UAE?

The way the gemstone is cut and polished can greatly affect its sparkle, so it’s important to choose a sapphire that has been cut and polished by a skilled gem cutter. The deep-blue sapphire is the most expensive in Dubai, and the price of blue sapphire stones primarily depends on their colour. White and yellow sapphire stones are a more affordable alternative that can be found in Dubai for a very low cost due to their gorgeous diamond colour. The cut shapes of the sapphire gem, which range from standard princess-cut to round-cut, also affect how much it costs. The price of sapphire stones in the UAE may vary depending on their carat weight, just as other gems like emeralds or rubies.
