About This Design

Navratna means "nine gems." In Indian tradition the nine stones represent the nine planets (navagraha), and wearing them together is believed to bring balance, protection and good fortune, which is why navratna jewelry is a favorite for weddings and auspicious occasions.

How It Wears

The necklace and matching earrings are designed to be worn together for a complete, coordinated look, and the earrings are just as easy to wear on their own. The necklace closes with a traditional hook lock that is secure and simple to fasten. An extension chain lets you adjust the length so it sits just where you like on the neckline. Screw-back earrings hold firmly in place, which is especially helpful for children and for long celebrations.

When to Wear It

This set is made for the big moments: weddings, sangeet and reception, engagement ceremonies, Diwali and other festivals. It also makes a treasured gift for a bride, or for a daughter or daughter-in-law to keep for generations.

Why 22K Gold

22K gold is 91.6% pure gold, the traditional standard for Indian jewelry, prized for its rich yellow color and lasting value. Karat 22 has been a family-owned Houston jeweler for over 40 years and offers the lowest making charges in the industry, so more of what you pay goes into the gold itself.

Care

Put your jewelry on after lotion, hairspray and perfume, and take it off before swimming, bathing or exercising. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after wearing and store each piece separately in a soft-lined box so the pieces do not tangle or scratch.
