Navaratna (Sanskrit: नवरत्न) is a Sanskrit compound word meaning nine gems or ratnas. Jewellery created in this style has important cultural significance in many southern, and south-eastern Asian cultures as a symbol of wealth, status, and also as having other claimed talismanic benefits to health and wellbeing. The setting of the stones is believed to hold mystical powers, tied to astrology, mythology and intrinsically linked to the Indian religions of Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism. The historic origin of the significance behind the nine gems has proved impossible to trace but is tied to mythological concepts around cosmology and astrology and the Navagrahas, or nine celestial gods. The combination of these nine gems is said to be not only powerful and auspicious in not just Hinduison but also Sikhism, Jainism, Buddhism religions. It’s revered in concept in other countries too like Thailand, Nepal, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam and Indonesia. The stones are often set within gold or silver jewellery with a ruby as the centrepiece representing the Sun. Each additional stone around the ruby then represents another celestial body within the Solar System, or a node, in addition to representing metaphysical concepts of good fortune, and the characteristics and personalities of religious figures. For traditional purposes and the purported health benefits, the arrangement of the stones and their position to the body is of particular significance, as is the quality of the gemstones. It includes 9 high born and flawless gems.

It’s believed that the Hindu universe consists of seven planets and two “nodes”. Together these are loosely referred to as nine planets. Each of the nine planets have their corresponding celestial Gods, also known as the navagraha. The nine celestial Gods in turn are associated with nine gemstones, known as the navaratna. Each of the nine celestial Gods correspond to the Earth’s sun, moon, five planets and two “nodes.” Together they form the Hindu universe. It is believed that the nine planets and their corresponding deities have an influence on humans and their destiny. The nine celestial Gods are Sun (Surya), Moon (Chandra), Mercury (Budha), Venus (Shukra), Saturn (Shani), Mars (Mangala), Jupiter (Brhaspati), Ascending Node, or Dragon’s Head (Rahu) and the Descending Node, or Dragon’s Tail (Ketu).

Each celestial god controls a particular direction in the universe. This analogy extends to the nine gemstones. The gods descend into the gemstone to protect the wearer. The associated gemstone in turn controls a the direction of the wearer’s life. Below are the potential benefits of navaratna jewelry, which includes bracelets, rings, and necklaces.
