NAVRATNA JEWELRY

Navaratna is a Sanskrit compound word that translates to "nine gems" or "ratnas." Many southern and south-eastern Asian cultures regard this style of jewelry as an icon of wealth and power, as well as having other alleged magical perks of health and welfare. The stones' configuration is thought to have mystical powers related to astrology, mythology, and is closely linked to the Indian religions of Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism. The historical origin of the relevance of the nine gems has been nearly impossible to trace, but it is linked to mythological concepts surrounding cosmology and astrology, as well as the "Navagrahas," or the "nine celestial gods."

The stones are frequently set in gold or silver jewelry, with a ruby as the focal point indicating the Sun. Each supplementary stone surrounding the ruby symbolizes another celestial body in the Solar System, or a node, as well as mystical ideas of good fortune and the attributes and personas of sacred figures. The arrangement of the stones and their position to the body, as well as the efficacy of the gemstones, are essential for traditional purposes and the reputed health benefits.
