Navrathna Ring

In our state TamilNadu, men also wear jewellery.  Whether they like it or not, most men wear the Navrathna ring. Nav means nine, and there are nine different gemstones in it. In Hinduism we also believe that there are nine Gods each representing a planet. Most of the temples have these nine deities and when we visit the temple we also worship these Deities.
The gemstones are Diamond, ruby,pearl, red coral, emerald, yellow sapphire, blue sapphire, hessonite, and Cat’s eye.
The settings of the stone also have to be in a particular order.
The navrathna stones are believed to bring luck, protect you against bad external forces and diseases.

The rings that men wear are usually big and they are done with a minimum of 24 gms of 22kt gold.
