Gems should generally be worn on the right for
men and the left for women. Gems may be worn either on the
appropriate finger as a ring, or on the upper arm as a bangle.
Alternately the gem can be worn around the neck, but this has the
disadvantage of the gem swinging and not maintaining skin contact.
Most important is that the Gem is set so as to touch the skin.
After carefully analyzing the weak strength of
the planets in a birth chart, the related gems as well as suitable
weight are suggested. The gems may be worn in the form of a ring.
However, sometimes they may be worn in the form of a locket or a
pendent also. Generally it is always best to purchase the best
quality gemstones that you can afford. The stones of lesser
potency have been found to work very well and are less costly,
though they need to be worn in a larger size in order to give the
same strength of effects. It is a widespread concept that a potent
Jyotish gemstone should be of flawless clarity, untreated, and of
a certain carat weight. These are the most commonly accepted
features for a good, Jyotish gem. I would add that a good gem
should have a fair price as well, and this also will depend by
many factors.
