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. Its traditional associations are symbolic, not promises of any result.

Is it advisable to consult before wearing?

Tradition says a gem's suitability depends on the individual horoscope. Most wearers check with an astrologer beforehand; a report can be booked on Brahmatells.
