A well-cut stone has superb symmetry, dimensions, and facets that optimize its brilliance and shine, as well as its overall worth. Furthermore, gemstone cutting performed by a trained lapidary helps to minimize the visibility of any inclusions.
  • Carat Weight: Blue sapphires, like other gemstones, are measured in carats, a standard weight measurement unit. Blue sapphire gemstones with the high carat weight and exceptional quality are rarer and more difficult to obtain and have a greater value, particularly if they have good color, clarity, and cut. Hence, Blue Sapphire Price per ratti or Neelam gemstone price per carat is essential to consider. The greater the carat weight, the more costly a blue sapphire gemstone.
  • Clarity: Blue Sapphire gemstones also include natural inclusions just like other gemstones, which are internal characteristics of all gemstones. The presence and appearance of these inclusions are known as the stone's clarity.
