At Navratan, our collection of in-house gems come from a range of origins offering a plethora of choices to pick from.
    • Color: To achieve maximum value from an original blue sapphire stone, its perfect hue should feature an even, velvety blue body flecked with violet undertones and saturation intensity that complements them both perfectly. Such stones are highly prized; gems with darker tones or near black interiors tend to have lower estimated values.
