What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you see a blue sapphire ring at a jeweler’s? Well, I’m neither a poet nor a daydreamer. Hence, my instant reaction would be to wear it on one of my fingers to appreciate its beauty.
You can never be wrong with wearing a blue sapphire ring on any finger. In fact, you can style one on each finger to dazzle up your style quotient in no time. But if it’s the your birthstone and you’re interested in its spiritual benefits, then the right finger does matter.
1. Fashion Point of View
Sapphire jewelry has taken the fashion world by storm and there’s no doubt it’s usually a ring. From political personalities to Hollywood A-listers, a blue sapphire ring is something that every heart desires. And as for the finger, it might or might not matter at all!
For instance, Ava DuVernay stole the limelight with a Burmese blue sapphire & Paraiba tourmaline ring during the 2024 Oscars. This time, we saw the ring settled on the middle and not the ring finger. Likewise, the 2020 Golden Globes witnessed the “Blonde” actress Ana de Armas sporting a massive square-cut blue sapphire ring. This time, the ring debuted on her index finger!
2. Love Point of View
Have you noticed the charm of blue sapphires glistening on the ring fingers of Elizabeth Hurley and Penelope Cruz? These famous actresses chose the stone to begin their romantic journeys. It perfectly justifies why these divas chose their ring finger over any other finger to style their blue sapphire rings. And this fascination of confessing love with a blue sapphire is not at all new.
From Princess Diana’s legendary blue sapphire ring to Victoria Beckham’s massive engagement stunner, sapphires have always been synonymous with love. Hopefully, the tradition will continue in the future and we’ll see more heirloom quality sapphire rings passed down through generations.
3. Astrological Point of View
Fashion has always been unrestricted and love comes with a condition. But if you’re seeking spiritual benefits from your sapphire jewelry then you’ll have to go by the rule book. This is because celestial bodies and their association with birthstones create cosmic reactions with either positive or negative outcomes. Hence, the only way to harness positivity is to follow astrological guidance.
What does Western Astrology Say?
As per Western astrology, each of the 12 months and zodiac signs has one or more birthstones. Wearing a compatible birthstone can introduce positive vibrations in the wearer’s life by dispelling negativity.
But do you know what the best part is? Each zodiac sign has multiple birthstones so you’re free to pick anyone that fancies you. Similarly, the same birthstone may belong to two or more zodiacs. In the case of a blue sapphire, Taurus, Virgo and Libra benefit the most by wearing this birthstone.
As for the right finger, there are no strict rules. But, make sure the stone touches your skin to absorb and transfer vibrations. Also, you should consult your astrologer for specific guidance.
What does Vedic Astrology Say?
Vedic astrology does give clear instructions on which finger you should wear your blue sapphire gemstone ring. Blue sapphire aka Neelam holds tremendous power to transform the wearer’s life if worn on the right finger. However, it can also make things really tough for you if you wear it incorrectly. So, understanding the importance of this subject is crucial.
As per Vedic astrology, the blue sapphire stone is associated with the planet Saturn. It is also the ruling planet of the sun signs Capricorn and Aquarius. Hence, all individuals born under these two zodiacs are entitled to wear a blue sapphire ring. The middle finger of either hand will do the job because it represents Saturn.
Points to Remember
Before wearing a blue sapphire stone on your middle finger, here’s what you need to know.
- The appropriate size of your sapphire gemstone depends on your age and weight, and the stone should touch your skin
- The morning or evening of a Saturday is the most preferred time to wear a blue sapphire.
- Place the ring in a water-filled copper container for a few minutes before wearing it.
- You must choose a silver or gold metal for the ring.
- It’s preferred to wear blue sapphire on your working hand, that is the one you use primarily.
- You must always go with the middle finger of the right hand unless it’s not your working hand.
- The quality of the sapphire gemstone is very important. Go for a good quality stone without cracks and inclusions since such stone can do more harm than good.
There’s More To It…
Although Vedic astrology says the middle finger is the right finger to wear a blue sapphire ring, this rule can’t be applied to every individual and in every situation. So, it is best to consult your astrologer for the exact directions. They can recommend the right stone and finger according to your horoscope.
