For generations, practitioners of Hindu have given loved ones the gift of a nava ratna jewelry. From kings to the every-day person, the combination of the particular nine gemstones is believed to give the wearer the best traits of the planets in our solar system. It is a common motif in Tibetan jewelry.
True nava ratna jewelry will have a genuine ruby, which represents the sun, in the center. A yellow topaz represents Jupiter, pearl for the moon, coral for Mars, emerald for Mercury, diamond for Venus and blue sapphire for Saturn. Zircon represents Rahu, the ascent of the moon, and cat’s eye for Ketu, the descent of the moon.
Some Hindus believe that wearing some of these stones separately can bring bad luck, but wearing all nine together in nava ratna jewelry brings out all of the positive influences of the planets. Nava ratna jewelry is believed to give the wearer longevity, good health, success and prosperity. Some people even see improvement in charisma and confidence.

People since ancient times claim to sense powerful energy radiating from gemstones, their ability to bring good fortune and keep evil at bay. Good nava ratna jewelry will often immediately make the wearer feel more calm and stronger.
