Gemstone Buying Guide
Selecting the Perfect Gemstone in Vedic Astrology
Choosing the perfect gemstone in Vedic astrology can be an exciting but daunting task. The right gemstone should resonate with its wearer and connect with their soul through its color, cut, and appearance. With so many beautiful options to choose from, it can be challenging to make a decision. However, there are a few tips that can make the selection process easier and help you find the perfect gemstone for your needs.
How To Choose The Right Weight
Selecting the perfect gemstone can be a daunting task, but with the right knowledge and guidance, it can be made easier. The first step is to determine the appropriate carat or ratti weight that suits your needs. It is also important to consider the shape of the gemstone, whether it be oval, cushion, square, rectangular, or any other available shape.
Gemstones come in a wide price range, depending on their quality, which includes factors such as origin, color, clarity, cut, carat, and uniqueness. Our gem experts carefully grade gemstones on all these parameters and price them accordingly. It is crucial to select a gemstone within your budget and of the highest quality possible.
It's worth noting that most natural gemstones have inclusions, and those without visible inclusions are extremely rare and expensive. Therefore, selecting the best possible gemstone within your budget is essential. Gemstones with less visible inclusions and good transparency are ideal for astrological purposes. Highly included gemstones with dark inclusions, cracks, and low transparency are cheaper but not recommended for astrological purposes.
Our expert gemstone team can guide you through the process of selecting the best gemstone for your needs and budget, ensuring that you make an informed decision.
How To Choose The Gemstone Clarity
When it comes to buying gemstones, clarity is an important factor to consider. It refers to the presence of internal features within the gemstone, which can affect its overall value and appearance. Factors such as size, position, relief, location, and number of inclusions play a crucial role in determining the gemstone's clarity.
While internal features are inevitable in natural gems, they add character and uniqueness to the stone. However, it's essential to analyze them carefully before making a purchase. The size of inclusions can sometimes distract from the gem's beauty, so finding a gemstone with a pleasing appearance is important.
Clearer natural gemstones hold more value as they allow light to pass seamlessly through them. The position of an inclusion is also crucial. For instance, if it's located under the table facet of the gemstone, it may lower its beauty. It's important to determine if the inclusions are visible to the naked eye and if the gemstone is "eye clean."
Additionally, it's crucial to consider if crystals are present within the gemstone or if they're hidden by the gem's body color. The features' relief should also be taken into account, as high relief can make them more distinguishable.
By carefully analyzing these factors, you can understand the value of the natural gemstone and make an informed decision when purchasing one.
How to Wear Your Gemstone for Maximum Benefits
So you've been prescribed to wear a gemstone, but do you know how to wear it correctly for maximum benefits?
Jewelry is the best way to wear gemstones, but it's important to select a metal and jewelry setting that complements the gem's physical and astrological properties. This step is crucial to ensure positive results and maintain the gem's quality for a longer period of time. Additionally, following some vedic norms for the selection of the right metal and jewelry design can enhance the gem's positive effects.
In vedic astrology, each planet has been assigned a specific metal in which its gemstone provides fruitful results. It's also important to ensure that the gemstone is in contact with the wearer's skin properly after being studded in the jewelry piece. For those who believe in Pooja rituals, it's recommended to follow the right vedic procedure to wear a gemstone (Ratna Dharan Karne Ki Vidhi) to attain maximum benefits in their life.
Don’t Get Fooled When Buying Authentic Gemstones and Jewelry
Buying gemstones can be an exciting experience, as these precious stones are not only beautiful, but also carry astrological significance and healing properties. However, it is important to exercise caution and ensure that you are purchasing high-quality, genuine gemstones. Fraudulent gem dealers are unfortunately common, and it is important to be aware of the tricks they use to sell fake gems as real.
To ensure that you are getting the best value for your money, it is advisable to purchase gemstones from a reputable seller who is willing to answer your questions honestly. Investing in lab-certified and hallmarked jewelry is also a good way to ensure authenticity. In the case of rare and expensive gemstones, it is especially important to rely on certificates from prestigious gem labs like IGI, GTL, GIA, GRS, etc.

Consider Talking To An Expert
Gemstones have been treasured for their beauty and astrological significance for centuries. Choosing a gemstone for jewelry is often based on its appearance and durability, but selecting a gemstone for astrological purposes is a more intricate process. It involves calculating the individual's horoscope (Kundli) and analyzing it with the help of a knowledgeable astrologer. As gemstones used for astrological purposes can have an impact on various aspects of life, including career, finance, and personal life, we highly recommend seeking advice from an expert astrologer before making a purchase.
