Sapphire is a very powerful gemstone with numerous mystical qualities. The occult powers of the Sapphire vary as per its color. Blue Sapphire that is also the September birthstone is believed to be the most effective of all gems that shows results in three  seconds, three minutes, three hours or three days. It is advised to always take a trial before wearing it. The old Indian faith suggests to keep the Blue Sapphire under ones pillow for three nights, if one has good dreams then the gem favors you. In case one has nasty–scary dreams then you are not meant to wear a Sapphire. It is said that if the gems suits the wearer it can miraculously remove poverty and transform the rags to riches overnight. However it can have an adverse affect incase the gem is inauspicious an; it can take away ones health, wealth, happiness, prosperity, name and fame.

Sapphire should be worn in gold, since it is believed to be pure.

However such effects of Blue Sapphire occur only-

• If it is a natural unblemished Blue Sapphire that has not undergone any treatment. Thus a synthetic or treated Blue Sapphire would not give such results.
• The single gems should be at least 3 carats in weight. Smaller stones combined together weighing more than three carats will not have the effect.

Therefore smaller Blue Sapphires or the synthetic or treated Blue Sapphires do possess such occult powers. You can wear them for the sake of style without worrying about any ill-effects. Checkout this absolutely stunning ring, perfect to get a royal look!!
