Genuine Blue Sapphire (Neelam) Gemstone Ring in Sterling Silver – #1285N4 - Myra

Blue Sapphire, or Neelam, can range from light sky-blue to deep midnight blue, and its shade not only defines its beauty but also influences its effects. Natural sapphires often show tiny lines or “gerum” (veins) that you can spot with your eyes or, in the clearest stones, only under a microscope. Remember, no gem is a miracle cure and won’t work instantly.

"Align Your Ambitions with the Power of Pure Blue Sapphire"

Blue Sapphire, or Neelam, can range from light sky-blue to deep midnight blue, and its shade not only defines its beauty but also influences its effectiveness. Natural sapphires often show tiny lines or "gerum" (veins) that you can spot with your eyes or, in the clearest stones, only under magnification. Remember, no gem is a miracle cure and won't work instantly.

Blue sapphire ring on hand

Colour Range: Light sky-blue to deep midnight blue

Natural Marks: Fine lines (“gerum”) visible to the naked eye; flawless stones may require a microscope

No Instant Miracles: Gems don’t give immediate results, but their effects build over time

Adjustment Period: As an “allergic” stone, your body may take days or weeks to adapt

Perfect Fit: If, after a few weeks, you feel neither good nor bad changes, the sapphire suits you perfectly

When you first wear a Neelam, give it time.
Some people notice a gentle warmth or calming effect; others feel nothing right away.

If you still don’t sense any positive or negative impact after a couple of weeks, that simply means this sapphire is a perfect match for your system.
