This is a question, which is very often asked by people and is even debated between astrologers. Some of the astrologers are of the opinion that the gemstones should be worn on fingers in rings, whereas some prescribe them in the form of lockets and amulets.
The argument in favour of lockets is that the gems are away from public gaze and they do not undergo wear and tear. Thus, the properties of the gem remain intact. Also the gem does not come in contact with filth as no one touches it. Another argument is that if a native uses locket, then he experiences a Ratna Snan whenever he takes bath. It is said that this is very auspicious. Moreover, if combination of gems is used then it is very easy to make a locket and wear them.

i read an interesting book by Edward Cayce about the channeled info from spirit guides about the best gems and where on the body to wear them. chakras come into play regularly and i would think that matching gemstone colours with chakra colour is a good start. laps, for instance, should be worn anywhere between the heart chakra and the third eye. moonstone on the finger, etc. also, astrological correspondence between the areas of the body and the gemstones that correspond is another place to start. just a thought.

am into making jewelry as one of my hobbies. would love more info on different gems for different aspects of our lives. would like to make my jewelry more important to me than just decoration. any suggestions for info regarding this matter? thanks for any help.

Hi,

I would suggest a course on crystal healing, that way you will understand why when some stones are put together in a piece of jewellery it can be virtually unwearable for any length of time without problems, and also how others will make you feel much better and never want to take the jewellery off

Wearing the gems in fingers is more effective as each finger is related to a particular planet and the gemstone of that planet should be worn in that finger only also when gems are worn on fingers they touch the body all the time.
