Detailed Product Description
This Navratna Stone Set (नवरत्न) brings together the nine traditional Vedic planetary stones in calibrated round cuts (available in 2 mm, 3 mm, 3.5 mm, 4 mm, and 5 mm sizes), ready for a custom Navratna ring, pendant, or bracelet. Each 9-stone parcel contains eight natural gemstones—Natural Ruby (Manik), Cultured Pearl (Moti), Natural Red Coral (Moonga), Natural Emerald (Panna), Natural Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj), Natural Blue Sapphire (Neelam), Natural Hessonite Garnet (Gomed), and Natural Cat's Eye (Lehsuniya)—along with one American Diamond (high-brilliance cubic zirconia diamond substitute) representing Venus (Shukra), accompanied by a laboratory testing report.
In Sanskrit, Navratna means “nine gems.” Rather than focusing on a single planetary stone, the nine-stone combination represents the complete Navagraha (nine celestial bodies) in classical Indian lapidary and jewellery design.
The Nine Stones in This Set (Cuts, Shapes & Reference Weight)
Every stone in the parcel is calibrated to your selected size (2 mm, 3 mm, 3.5 mm, 4 mm, or 5 mm) so that a jeweller can set all nine harmoniously in a single frame. All nine stones are round — the set contains no oval, cabochon or fancy cuts. As a weight reference, the largest 5 mm set weighs approximately 5.50 carats in total across all nine stones combined, while smaller calibrated sizes weigh proportionally less depending on each mineral's specific gravity and dome depth. Please Note: In place of the Diamond, an American Diamond (cubic zirconia substitute) is included in this set; it does not contain a natural Diamond or White Sapphire.
Traditional Navagraha Arrangement
In classical Navratna jewellery design, Ruby (Manik)—associated with the Sun (Surya)—is placed at the centre of the nine-stone grid, surrounded by the other eight stones in their traditional directional positions: Pearl (Moon), Red Coral (Mars), Emerald (Mercury), Yellow Sapphire (Jupiter), American Diamond for Venus (Shukra), Blue Sapphire (Saturn), Hessonite (Rahu), and Cat's Eye (Ketu). Customers choosing a Navratna set for traditional or astrological wear usually follow their astrologer's or Pandit ji's layout guidance; our Vedic Navratna gemstone guide explains the nine stones and their cultural traditions.
Care & Cleaning Instructions
Because a Navratna set combines hard corundum gemstones (Mohs 9.0) with delicate organic Cultured Pearl and Red Coral (Mohs 2.5 to 4.0), care must always follow the gentlest stones in the setting. Clean the jewellery only by wiping gently with a soft, damp microfiber cloth and drying straight away. Never use an ultrasonic cleaner, steam cleaner, boiling water, harsh soaps, acids, perfume, or chemical dips, and store the piece flat in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box.
