Gemstones have fascinated humanity for centuries—not just for their beauty, but for their powerful astrological and energetic influence. In Vedic astrology, gemstones work as planetary amplifiers. When you wear the right gemstone correctly, it provides the planets' healing energy. Helps to reduce challenges and supports growth in health, career, relationships, and mental peace.
However, many people unknowingly wear gemstones incorrectly. Some choose a stone just because it looks beautiful. Others wear it on the wrong day, on the wrong finger, or without proper energization. As a result, the gemstone either shows no results or, worse, creates an imbalance.
So the real question is: Are you wearing the right gemstones the right way?
Let’s break it down step by step.
Why Wearing the Right Gemstone Matters
Gemstones are not fashion accessories. Every gemstone has its specific planets, which reflect direct interaction with the wearer’s aura. When your ideal gemstone aligns with your birth chart, it helps enhance positive planetary vibrations in your life.
Wearing the wrong gemstone can:
- It helps to strengthen a weak or malefic planet
- It creates emotional, financial, and health disturbances
- May cause a delay in results instead of accelerating them
That’s why astrologers always recommend gemstones based on horoscope analysis, not trends or hearsay.

What Makes a Gemstone “Right” for You?
A gemstone becomes right only when it matches your astrological requirements. Several factors decide this:
1. Horoscope & Planetary Position
Your birth chart reveals which planets are strong, weak, benefic, or malefic. A gemstone works only when it strengthens a favorable planet in your chart. For example:
- Yellow Sapphire strengthens Jupiter (Guru)
- Blue Sapphire strengthens Saturn (Shani)
- Ruby strengthens the Sun
Without a Kundli analysis, wearing a gemstone is a gamble.
2. Authenticity & Quality
These natural, untreated, certified gemstones hold astrological power. Whether synthetic or heavily treated, stones look attractive and also offer healing energy to the wearer.
3. Correct Carat Weight
An ideal gemstone weight must suit your body and the astrological energy you require. A lightweight gemstone may give weak results, while a heavy gemstone may cause imbalance.
Step-By-Step Guide: How to Wear Gemstones Correctly
Wearing a gemstone properly is just as important as choosing the right one. Let’s explore each step in detail.
1. Purification: Cleansing the Gemstone Before Wearing
Before you wear a gemstone, you must remove any negative or residual energies it may have absorbed during mining, cutting, or handling.
How to Cleanse a Gemstone
- Soak the gemstone in Gangajal or clean water mixed with milk, honey, and tulsi leaves
- Keep it immersed for 10–15 minutes
- Rinse with clean water and wipe gently with a soft cloth
This process prepares the gemstone to align with your personal energy.

2. Energization (Prana Pratistha): Activating the Gemstone
Purification cleanses the stone, but energization activates it. Without Prana Pratistha, the gemstone remains dormant.
Why Energization Is Important
Gemstones work as cosmic transmitters. Energization connects the gemstone’s energy with your aura and planetary vibration.
How to Energize a Gemstone
- Sit in a clean, calm space
- Light a diya or incense
Chant the gemstone’s planetary mantra 108 times
- Ruby: Om Suryaya Namah
- Emerald: Om Budhaya Namah
- Yellow Sapphire: Om Gurave Namah
- Blue Sapphire: Om Sham Shanischaraya Namah
This ritual infuses the gemstone with life force (prana).
3. Wearing the Gemstone on the Right Day & Time
Timing plays a crucial role in astrology. Wearing a gemstone on the wrong day can delay or weaken its impact.
Auspicious Days for Major Gemstones
- Ruby → Sunday
- Pearl → Monday
- Red Coral → Tuesday
- Emerald → Wednesday
- Yellow Sapphire → Thursday
- Diamond → Friday
- Blue Sapphire → Saturday
Best Time
- Morning hours during Shukla Paksha (waxing moon)
- Ideally, during planetary hora or auspicious muhurat
4. Choosing the Right Finger, Metal & Setting
Gemstones must come into contact with your skin to transmit energy effectively.
Finger Selection
Each planet rules a specific finger:
- Index Finger → Jupiter
- Middle Finger → Saturn
- Ring Finger → Sun
- Little Finger → Mercury
Metal Matters
- Gold → Sun, Jupiter
- Silver → Moon
- Panchdhatu → Balanced planetary energy
A wrong finger or metal can block the gemstone’s effectiveness.

5. Ring vs Pendant: Which Is Better?
- Rings offer stronger planetary contact
- Pendants work well when rings are not recommended
- The gemstone must always touch the skin

Both work when astrologically approved.
Common Mistakes While Wearing Gemstones
Even sincere believers often make these mistakes:
- Wearing gemstones without a horoscope consultation
- Using second-hand or cracked gemstones
- Wearing incompatible gemstone combinations
- Skipping purification and energization
- Wearing gemstones only as fashion jewellery
Avoiding these mistakes ensures your gemstone works to your advantage.
How Long Does a Gemstone Take to Show Results?
Gemstones don’t work overnight. Their energy gradually aligns with your aura.
- Initial signs: 10–45 days
- Noticeable impact: 3–6 months
- Long-term transformation: continuous wearing
- Consistency and faith play a key role.
How to Maintain and Recharge Your Gemstone
Over time, gemstones absorb negative energy and need to be recharged.
Simple Maintenance Tips
- Clean with mild soap and water once a month
- Recharge under sunlight or moonlight occasionally
- Remove during intense physical activity
- A well-maintained gemstone stays energetically active.
Summary
Wearing gemstones is a sacred astrological practice, not a trend. When you choose the right gemstone, energize it properly, and wear it with discipline, it can bring clarity, confidence, stability, and spiritual growth.
If you’re unsure whether your gemstone suits you—or whether you’re wearing it correctly—it’s always wise to consult an expert astrologer at Rashiratanbhagya.com. The right gemstone doesn’t just decorate your body; it transforms your life.
