Which combination of gems is good for me?
This depends on which Sign was rising when you were born. In this south Indian style chart, the signs are always fixed. The ascendant is marked as 1 or with a slanting line or “La”.

If you have a North Indian style horoscope please see which number is written on the top to find out which combination of gems is for you. In the following example 12 is written in the Ascendant hence Mina/Pisces was rising Sign.

Will substitute gems be equal to Ruby and Sapphires ?   No. Substitute gems do not work. Reliable Gems work as they are 1^st quality gems. They are bought from old established wholesalers. 

Synthetic gems are uniform, original will have small variation in size and colour. Synthetic gems have no power to be used as remedial measure in astrology. Yellow Topaz is substitute gem for Yellow Sapphire. The reliable gems are small and can be set in a ring. As the size of the gem grows, its price grows geometrically. Also getting clear gems is possible only when the size is small.   Getting perfect big gems is very difficult. Their price also goes up astronomically.

Planetary Colour, Gem, Metal, Direction, Plants

Diamond: Colour, Carat, Cut and Clarity are the 4 Cs of a diamond. The diamond sold by most jewelers and shops are with scratches. pits, colours and black spots. They are visible on the top table of the diamond.   You can verify the diamonds at home using a small microscope or powerful magnifying glass loop. Even the branded diamond jewellery sold in India are with diamonds having a few scratches. Only difference is branded jewellery shops correctly tell you whether it is VS2 or VS1 quality diamond.   See clarity grading diagram at bottom of this page. We are sad that jewellers charge for 12 cents and give only 10 cents or less size.

The best diamonds are flawless and difficult to procure. Unless you are an expert, you would not even be able to see the scratches and spots on the rim of the diamond. A perfect diamond should reflect back all the lights entering it through the top table.   The culet at the bottom should allow only a ray of sunlight to pass through it. The bottom cone should be black backsides of a mirror when the diamond is held to sunlight. The 58 sides of a diamond have to be at particular angle otherwise it would not reflect 98% of the light entering it. See cuts at bottom of this page.

All diamonds sold by our site are of best quality, cut and with zero scratches or pits. They are  flawless under 10x magnification.

Pink Ruby: Those who have Sun as beneficial lord positioned in bad house or powerless should wear this gem. Pink ruby is Indian ruby. Dark blood red translucent ruby is best.   The more the translucent the more costly the ruby.  We have rubies from Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 200,000.

Coral: Orange coral (paviyam) will have small holes as though an ant has burrowed the gem. Dark red triangular or spherical shaped coral without holes are cheaper because they are made of coral powder, colour and gum. Most ready sets of nava graha stones in the market have white coral painted in orange! Hence we select each and every gem individually after testing it.

Pearl: A genuine pearl will be round with a colour "inside" seen from outside. This inside colour can vary from pink to black.   Pinkish pearls are "Brahmin" class and best. Black pearls from mid-pacific are not to be worn. Rice pearls and other unshapely sizes make the wearer "mad", emotionally upset and quarrel with all relatives and friends.   South Seas pearls near north-east-Australia are the best white pinkish pearls. They cost about Rs. 15,000 per 16 mm diameter pearl. A South seas necklace would cost Rs. 2 to 5 Lakhs. We recommend aso Chinese fresh water pearls from 2 mm to 10 mm. Pearls can be worn as earring, bottom open ring or necklace.

All pearls sold by our site are of best quality South Seas or Chinese fresh water pearls. We have sample pearls cut in half showing you that there is no “plastic” inside coated with chemicals.

Emerald: Green emerald is Mercury Gem. Getting a clear emerald is difficult. There would be some black lines or bubbles inside this gem. Tirupathi Balaji God Mahavishnu's idol is wearing a big Emerald on his chest. Avoid emeralds with cracks or big black spots seen at 10x magnification.

Yellow Sapphire: This is Jupiter's stone. Depending on quality this stone costs Rs. 100 to 50,000 per carat. Topaz is substitute gem for this.

Blue Sapphire: This is Gem for Saturn. Amitabh Bachan is wearing this. The more clear the gem the more costly. Darker the blue more the cost. We have blue sapphire from Rs. 1,000 to 2, 00, 00,000.

Gomedha: This is Hessonite. It is also known as cow's urine colour stone.

Cat's eye: This is Gem for Ketu. It looks white with a cat’s eye design. Tiger eye is another stone not included in Indian astrology.

How much does a Reliable Gems combination cost ? This site is not a jewellery site. We are selling gems to be used as pariharams. More for remedial measure than show. Our gems are of first quality as per stringent astrology rules. Since we do not make fancy designs the gems are less priced than at jewellery shops.

Our objective is to give proper solution at lowest price to middle class families. Reliable gems are original and not synthetic. 

We only supply the gems. You have to give it to your jeweller and make it into a ring or dollar in gold or silver as prescribed below.

• B ring or or earring or pendant is to be made in silver with white rhodium polish. Could be platinum or white gold. Please let us know your ring size. Give ring size of right hand ring / middle finger. Measure near the 2^nd bend of the finger where it will fit right and rotate freely once in its place.

• A, C and D are to be made in gold locally. Go to a nearby Hall Mark Jeweller shop. Hall mark is a small blunt triangle drawn by the government agency in India.  The triangle and % of gold is printed inside the ring by the laser testing agency.  Purity of gold is measured in carats.  18 carats is preferred for gems ring as pure gold is a weak metal. 18 carats =  75%.  22 carats = 91.6%. 14 carats = 58.3%.

• These gems are small and highly polished. The gems are guaranteed genuine super deluxe 1^st quality. 

• The Nav Ratna Gems size are roughly = 1mm diameter = 10   to 50 cents = 24 to 100 mg = 0.12 to 0.50 carat each.

We re-iterate that in astrology Venus is represented by Diamond and Silver. So even though jewelers through out the world make diamond jewellery in gold, we advocate silver ring or pendant to set your diamond.   This is for astrological reasons only. Additionally a diamond in silver would not attract theft as people would think it is synthetic or “American” zircon diamond set in silver.

All rings and pendants have “bottom open” design. This has 2 advantages. It is easier to clean them. Astrological texts prescribe the gem should "touch" the skin or at least allow light to pass through them to the skin.

Explanation

Our body is composed of seven colours of the Rainbow. If there is deficiency of any colour in the body, we usually suffer from diseases both mental and physical, ill-luck, get into troubles unnecessarily without being guilty, etc. Gems help by transmitting planetary rays in the body of the sufferer. Colours are stored abundantly in gems that are not exhausted even after constant use for years.

Generally, the precious stone is wrapped in a silk strip of the same colour as the stone and tied round the arm for a trial period of 3 days. If it shows a bad effect, it is removed at once, and if it shows a good effect, it is studded in a ring or pendant with the underside not covered, so that it is in direct contact with the skin. The upper surface is also left open to catch the light rays.

You should not wear the Gem of planets which are Lords of  6, 8 or 12th house. They will only bring sickness, expenditure, trouble, death etc. The gems signified by the other houses, are ok.  

But, the best gems suitable are of planets which are lords of 1, 5 and 9.  These three houses are called Trine or Trikon in Sanskrit. These three houses form mutual angle of 120 ° in the horoscope.  

The following are the 9 planets and their gems in Indian Astrology.

Since many of these gems are costly or not available, the following substitute gems are generally used. But in our experience a small genuine gem is 100 times more powerful and cost effective than substitute gems in the long run.

Accordingly the following table shows the 3 gems to be worn for life based on your Zodiac Sign rising at birth.  Four rising signs allow 4 gems to be worn for lifetime.

Combining the common gems pattern in the above table we get only 3 sets as shown in table below.

If you have a North Indian style horoscope please see which number is written on the top to find out which combination of gems is for you. In the following example 12 is written in the Ascendant hence C type combination is good for this native.

If you have a South Indian style of horoscope then find out where the Lagnam [Ascendant] is written.  Match it with the following diagram to find out which combination of gems is suitable for you.   

For example, in your horoscope, if "La" is written in top right corner, [ie. Gemini/Mithun Sign], B type of gem combinatiion is suitable for you.

All the gems are hand picked from big lots. Since we accept only properly shaped, cut, clear, and perfect size, the price goes up slightly.

You can wear Reliable Gems 24 hours 7 days a week. FAQ answers => You can wear it while taking bath,  sleeping and even when going to toilet. Ladies can wear this during their periods. You need not wear reliable gems when going to cremation ground/cemetery or when going for condolences. You need not wear this when attending 12 days function after the death of a relative or during death anniversaries [shraadh]. 

All our gems are water proof. They are soap proof. The gems are shampoo proof. Please do not put scent spray on pearl as the chemicals may damage the gem. Remove the pearl before applying spray scents, then put the gem after 5 minutes when the alcohol would have evaporated. 

The advantage of Reliable Gems is that they are small. You can set them in a ring or pendant.

The special NavaRatna ring or dollar which has all the 9 gems can be worn by all.

An Example of the Different Clarity Grades:

The Cut of the diamond should be ideal. Shallow or deep cut will allow light to escape casuing the diamond to appear dark and dull. The ideal cut will reflect back all the light entering the table making the diamond appear more bright and bigger.

Carat is weight of the diamond. 1 carat = 100 cents = 100 points = 200 mg. A nava ratna ring has all gems roughtly 1mm size = 12 point diamond.

Should I buy reliable gems from this site? Reliable Diamonds are of VVS1 or VVS2 clarity and D to G colour. Best available in India. Our gems are also of very good colour astrologically and without blemishes like black spot, proper shape and weight. This is not a jewellery site. Our gems are meant for astrological remedial measures only. Most of those buying gems from this site are middle-class people who want respite from life's problems. Hence our prices are lower than what your jeweller might quote because we are giving jewels for use as remedial measures (pariharams).

Those who want can also have these made into pendants in silver or gold (as appropriate, shown above) and wear around the neck. The gems in these pendants have bottom open. This bottom open design also enables annual cleaning of them by your local jeweller. Diamonds should be set in silver or platinum, not in gold or white gold.

The best 3-D symmetrically cut diamonds are available at www.eightstar.com but there is a long waiting time and the cost is 40% higher and the size of these diamonds are half to 2 carat. We strongly recommend that "Eightstar" and "Hearts on Fire" branded diamonds are best to give astrological results for those who can afford Rs. 1 to Rs. 3 lakhs. Astrologically these are more suited to those aspiring to rise very high in business or politics.
