Navratna is a Sanskrit word meaning \u201cnine gems\u201d or \u201cratnas\u201d. Jewellery created in this style has important cultural significance in many southern, and south-eastern Asian cultures as a symbol of wealth, and status, and is claimed to yield talismanic benefits towards health and well being. The setting of the stones is believed to hold mystical powers tied to the astrology and mythology of Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism. The historic origin of the navratna is tied to the astrological concept of \u201cNavagrahas\u201d, or \u201cnine celestial gods\u201d (planets).<\/p>\n

This 18ct gold ring is a lovely example and has an emerald in the centre with a rose diamond, ruby, sapphire, topaz, cat’s eye\u00a0 chrysoberyl, garnet, and a pale coral around it.
