The gems are such adored world over that people of all religions

The Rig Veda, which is the oldest book written by man on earth, has mentioned the word Ratna, in its first sloka, called mantra.The gems are such adored world over that people of all religions, languages and communities have always been enchanted by the marvellous utilities of them, down the ages.
Some questions that dog the mind are: Does wearing a gem remove afflictions or diseases from one’s life?Is the practice of wearing gems on person a religious process or is it ordained by religions? Or is it only a social habit? Or is it an expression of flaunting one’s riches? Irony is, the thought process on human afflictions and diseases in Ayurveda and Astrology is much profound and modern science will have to traverse long stages to equate that.According to Ayurveda and Astrology,reasons behind the human ailments are not considered to be the bacteria alone,but also the effects of the actions in one’s lifetime,which is called karmaja. It is said:“Poorvajanma kritang paapong byadhi rupena baadhitaa”.

That means the sins acquired from the previous lifetime reappear during the present life in from of diseases,chronic wounds or misfortune. The Ayurveda and the Astrology give credence to curse,boon,blessings,prayers and wearing of gems or precious stones because of their innate invisible power which is often well-acknowledged as divine actions.
Hence,such prescriptions are recognised as remedies as,doing penance,mental or vocal repetition of mantras, rituals and rules,donations and pious activities during the lifetime. The tenets of these two disciplines are: If medicines through science could have cured all human afflictions then no body would ever have died in the society,and man would have become immortal today.However,that is not the case.

This month’s featured stone is a fine example of this color shift.

Sapphire comes to us in many sizes, shapes, colors, and phenomena. Change of color is an optical phenomenon that can be observed as one takes a sapphire from the indoor incandescent light to outdoor sunlight.

A bracelet is one jewelry that enhances a woman's beauty and self-confidence. It gives an added appeal to the lower arm and boosts the overall aura of a woman. And what better gem to use for this type of jewelry than the beautiful freshwater pearl. By its natural beauty alone, a pearl is a perfect symbol of serenity and timelessness which can be worn or given as a gift on any occasion.
