 GEMS- What you need to know
Gems should be set by themselves, as certain gems are incompatible and may cause undesired effects if set together in the same piece of jewelry.
Gems also transmit cosmic colors that are in turn absorbed by the chakra centers in the ethereal body and therefore they must be of good quality in clarity.
Gems must not be heat-treated to enhance color or clarity, nor irradiated or treated in any way to improve their appearance.

 The "Nine Gem" Jewel
In the naoratna the five gems known to the Hindus as the mahâratnâni, or "great gems,"--the diamond, pearl, ruby, sapphire, and emerald,--were, as we see, associated with the Sun and Moon, Venus, Mercury, and Saturn, while the four lesser gems (uparatnâni)--namely, the jacinth, topaz, cat's-eye, and coral--represent Mars, Jupiter, Râhu, and the descending node.
Whether these were gems cannot be determined, since the primary meaning of the word ratna is "a precious object," not necessarily a precious stone; but it is possible that we may have here an allusion to some earlier form of talisman, in which only the Sun, Moon, and the five planets were represented.
Among the Burmese the value for occult purposes of the nine gems composing the naoratna, or navaratna, is strictly determined in the following order: first, the ruby; second, the diamond, or rock-crystal; third, the pearl; fourth, the coral; fifth, the topaz; sixth, the sapphire; seventh, the cat's-eye; eighth, the amethyst; and ninth, the emerald.
