Frequently Asked Questions
I have an heirloom diamond. Should I get it re-energised?+
Yes โ heirloom stones carry the energy of previous wearers. Soak in salt water for 24 hours, then re-energise on Friday during Pushya nakshatra. Recite the Shukra mantra 108 times. The stone is now "yours".
Can I wear Heera with Pukhraj (Yellow Sapphire)?+
Cautiously โ Venus and Jupiter are not natural friends. Most astrologers advise wearing them on different hands. If both required, Pukhraj on right index, Heera on left ring.
Is white sapphire a substitute for Heera?+
Yes โ White Sapphire (Sphatik or American Diamond market term) is the recognised Upratna for Diamond. About 60-70% of Heera's effect at far lower cost. Set in white gold or silver, ring/middle finger, same Friday-sunrise ritual.
My diamond chipped. Is that bad?+
Yes โ a chipped or broken diamond loses its Vedic efficacy and may even reverse-channel energy. Stop wearing immediately. Consider replacing or having it professionally re-cut to a smaller intact stone.
