Which Gemstone should I wear
Buying a gemstone can be an exciting experience, blending their mystical allure with striking beauty and a vast array of colors. Although the Internet offers countless options for purchasing gemstones and learning about them, not all sources are reliable or sufficiently informative.
Whether you're purchasing a gemstone for astrological reasons or simply for jewelry, we’re here to guide you to the perfect choice. This step-by-step guide will help you choose the ideal gemstone within your budget with ease.
How to select the Gemstone
Throughout history, gemstones have been worn for both astrological and jewelry purposes. When choosing a jewelry gemstone, factors such as aesthetic appeal and durability are paramount; however, selecting an astrological gemstone involves more complex considerations. It requires an in-depth analysis of the individual’s horoscope (Kundli) by a knowledgeable astrologer. Since gemstones chosen for astrological reasons can impact career, finances, profession, and personal life, we recommend consulting an expert astrologer before purchasing one.
What Should I be Careful About
Gemstones are valued not only for their fashion appeal but also for their astrological significance and healing properties. Ensuring the quality and authenticity of your gemstone is essential to avoid any unpleasant surprises. Unfortunately, fraudulent dealers may use tricks to pass off fake gemstones as real ones, so it’s crucial to be aware of these tactics.
It's advisable to buy from a trusted seller who will answer your questions openly. Investing in genuine, lab-certified gemstones and hallmarked jewelry is a solid approach to getting the best value for your money. When purchasing rare or expensive gemstones from renowned origins, relying solely on certificates from prestigious gem laboratories like IGI, GTL, GIA, or GRS is important.

How Should I wear a Gemstone
Gemstones are typically worn as jewelry, with metal selection and setting design playing a key role in enhancing the gemstone’s physical and astrological benefits, while also preserving its quality. Vedic principles guide the choice of metal and jewelry style for astrological gemstones. According to sacred Vedas, each planet is associated with a specific metal that amplifies the gemstone’s effects. Another important factor is to ensure the gemstone makes direct contact with the skin when set in jewelry. For those who follow Pooja rituals, adhering to the Vedic procedure for wearing gemstones (Ratna Dharan Karne Ki Vidhi) can further enhance the benefits in their lives.
Where Should I Buy From?
Purchasing a gemstone involves several considerations, as these affect both quality and price. Being knowledgeable about these factors can help avoid the pitfalls of buying unauthentic gemstones at inflated prices.
Color, clarity, cut, and carat weight are conventional factors when selecting gemstones. However, for astrological purposes, it's equally important to ensure the gemstone is 100% natural and free from treatments like heating, dyeing, or chemical and resin filling. While choosing a gemstone from a reputed origin is often recommended for quality assurance, excellent-quality stones can also be sourced from lesser-known origins.
