About hessonite garnet

Cushion cuts have soft, rounded corners and are a traditional choice for bold ring settings. Hessonite (Gomed) is a honey-brown to orange-red garnet and the gem of Rahu in Vedic tradition. In Vedic practice a gemstone is normally chosen after a chart review by a qualified astrologer, since suitability depends on the individual horoscope. The associations are traditional and symbolic, and no outcome is promised.

Gifting

Gems are given at birthdays and milestones, and are most appreciated when the recipient's chart has been considered.

Each gem has its own shade, clarity and inclusions; a small difference from the photos is to be expected. Colour looks different in daylight and under indoor lighting. If you need a certificate or treatment information for this gem, please ask before ordering.

FAQs

How do I choose the weight?

The right weight comes down to budget, how large you want the stone to look and, if you follow astrology, your astrologer's guidance. Some astrologers relate the Ratti weight to body weight; others use different rules, so recommendations vary.

Which planet is Hessonite Garnet linked to?

In Jyotish, hessonite garnet is linked with Rahu.

Should I wear it without consulting an astrologer?

Gemstone astrology holds that the right stone depends on your chart. Consulting first is common practice, and an astrological report is available on Brahmatells.
