The navaratna jewellery is more than just a lovely diamond/gem collection with navaratnas adorning it. Its importance is more closely associated with South Asian culture and religion, such as Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, and Sikhism, among others. Both men and women adore this bright, brilliant piece of beauty.

9. Cat’s Eye (or Vaiduryam, Vaidurya, Lehsuniya) represents Ketu, the descending lunar position.

Benefits of wearing Navaratnas

According to Astrology, the nine planets (or Navagrahas) in our solar system, including the Sun and the Moon, influence a person's existence on Earth. Wearing navaratna jewellery is claimed to change the wearer's life for the better, both physically and psychologically.

Let's get into the features and benefits of these otherworldly gemstones called Navaratnas.

Ruby

The Ruby gemstone, one of the most important gemstones in the navaratna, is put in the Bhramasthana, which is the centre. It is seen to be an answer to positive energy, longevity, power, success, and spirituality because it represents the Sun. Its association with the sun got this gemstone the title of “king of gemstones.” It is linked to the zodiac sign Leo.

Diamond

The diamond, the most valuable of all jewels, is worn to honour Venus, the feminine planet. The wearer of a diamond is said to be blessed with wealth, power, and marital love. Taurus and Libra are the zodiac signs linked with diamonds.

Pearl

Peace, emotional stability, and creativity will prevail where the moon is worshipped. Pearl rules the star sign Cancer. People who are in the creative field can garner good benefits from pearl gemstone. 

Red Coral

The planet Mars is related to this red gemstone, which is supposed to increase boldness and self-esteem. Red Coral protects the wearer against doshas and bestows physical strength, beauty, a good marriage, and agility. Aries and Scorpio are linked with this gemstone.

Hessonite

Hessonite is said to help people overcome problems, such as addictions, drug and alcohol abuse, and gambling. It has the ability to harness and concentrate Rahu's strength to attract positive energy, fame, and legal and political success to the wearer. Wearing the Hessonite can also help to mitigate Rahu's negative consequences, such as excessive materialistic aspirations and marital strife.

Blue Sapphire gemstone

The Blue Sapphire is worn by people who wish to conquer Saturn, also known as 'Shani,' one of the most powerful and feared planets. The star signs Capricorn and Aquarius are related to the Blue Sapphire. As the most protective of all the stones, it is beneficial for healing depression and warding off evil eyes.

Cat's eye

If your horoscope lacks a well-placed Ketu, the Cat's Eye is most likely what you require. Wearing this stone is thought to protect you against bad press and scandals.

Yellow Sapphire gemstone

Yellow Sapphire attracts the traits of Jupiter, its ruling planet. Prosperity, luck, intelligence, judgement, and money are some of the attributes. Sagittarius and Pisces are the linked star signs.

Emerald gemstone

Emerald is a lovely gemstone that comes in many tints of green. Increased concentration, mental alertness, and intellectual capacity are all benefits of it. Gemini and Virgo are the zodiac signs linked with Emerald.

These navratnas not only serve the purpose of beautifying their wearers but also provide them ample benefits that can transform their lives for the best.
