Long before gemstones were investments or accessories, they were a language. Kings wore rubies into battle for courage. Seafarers carried aquamarines for safe passage. In India, the navratna — nine gems aligned to nine celestial bodies — turned jewellery into cosmology you could wear on your finger.

In India the idea went furthest of all: the navratna assigns nine gems to nine celestial bodies, so that a single ring becomes a small, wearable cosmology. Most of our clients at Firuzeh Jaipur don't buy stones for these reasons, at least not openly. But almost everyone, once the subject comes up, wants to know what their stone is supposed to mean.
