Question: - I definitely would like to use my astrological Jyotish Vedic Gems, but I'm not sure which ones are right for me. From the readings on your site, I gather that these gems are selected based on an individual's zodiac sign. How do I know which Jyotish gems are right for me?
A: - Astrological Jyotish Gemstones are not chosen based on an individual's Western zodiac sign ("birthstones" system). A much deeper and scientific knowledge provides the fundamentals for individuals' use of Jyotish Gems. This knowledge is called Vedic Astrology, and to know which of the nine Jyotish gems you need, we have to calculate your astrological Vedic birth chart. Many people already know their lifetime gems from a previous Vedic consultation. Or, if you are new to Vedic astrology, we can calculate your Vedic chart and prescribe your lifetime Jyotish gems.
Question: - What is the difference between astrological Jyotish Vedic Gems and the gems that are sold in jewelry stores? Are they not the same?
A: - No, they are not the same. Jyotish Gemstones must be untreated, clean, well-cut, lustrous, and possess an intrinsic, sweet feel when seen. Nowadays, 95% of the traditional market gemstones are subjected to treatments, which include color enhancement by heat, radiation, or diffusion, dyeing, and fracture filling for cosmetic improvement. Vedic gemstones are rarer and of higher quality than those at your average local jewelry store or most online shops. A Jyotish-quality gemstone needs to be eye-flawless (emeralds are an exception, as they are usually included) and have a proportioned and well-cut shape. It should sparkle and scintillate. Most of all, a Jyotish Vedic Gemstone should possess a subtle, sweet feel, a content Sattwa that the person usually perceives.
Question: - If these gemstones are of higher quality, do I have to pay a premium for such gems?
A: - You have come to the right place for this answer. No, not here. We have cut the middleman.
We travel directly, yearly, to the source of our gemstones. To Sri Lanka for untreated sapphires, cat's eyes, hessonites, and spinels, to Thailand for rubies and sapphires, to Colombia and Zambia for emeralds, and to the Mediterranean for corals and pearls.
We have established the best overseas contacts for fine quality and the best prices. And we are proud of this. Our quality-to-price ratio is very well-calibrated and tight. We offer the best prices for the quality we provide. You won't find our low prices anywhere else. Simple.
Question: Why can prices vary so much? I have found similar gemstones on another site at considerably higher prices. Why is that?
A: - A savvy consumer is a person with knowledge. Visit this page to learn more about the quality and value of gemstones in today's markets. The price of a gemstone of a similar variety can vary considerably for a number of reasons.
First, make sure you compare apples to apples. You must compare two stones within the same carat weight range (e.g., 1 to 1.5 carats, 1.5 to 2 carats, etc.). The per-carat price is a good indicator for comparison. The higher the per-carat price, the better the stone, all else being equal. Treatments or no treatments as well. Treatments play a vital role in the price of a gemstone nowadays. Simply, an untreated gemstone is much more valuable than a treated one.
When the right comparison is there, then the main factors of a substantial price difference between dealers might be the following (the speculation not necessarily in this order):
​
1— Seller overheads. Prices will be higher if a seller has large overheads ( how many employees, rental space, web marketing, "reputation," etc.). At that point, you no longer pay the value of the stone; you pay the business.​
​
2— Where the stone was bought. We travel directly and buy at the origin. The majority of gem dealers in the USA (and this applies everywhere) buy from other importing dealers through memos, at gem shows, and so on. The more a stone changes hands, the higher the price. Our philosophy is straightforward: We purchase our stones directly from the origin, import them to the USA, and sell them wholesale to our customers. We pass the savings to our customers, whether they are private people or dealers alike.
3- From whom the stone was bought. Even at origin, some cutters/dealers are known to have higher prices than others (for the same quality). And so, the passing hands. Reputation is an overused word often used by many people out of redundancy. ​
​
4— Stop overpaying. Buyers should be aware that 95% of sellers are proficient with the "you get what you pay for" mantra. And they make a lot of money out of this. Even knowing this is true, a savvy and alert buyer knows that some dealers are more ethical than others in their choice, representation, and sale of their products. Do not be fooled by the statement, "If it is more expensive, it must be of higher quality." Gain more knowledge, compare prices, and ensure you do your homework before purchasing what you intend to buy.
Question: I have never done this before. How can I purchase gems through the web? What if I am in Europe, Asia, or Australia?
A: - You can purchase any gemstone or already-made jewelry through our secure online store. At checkout, you have the option to have your loose gemstone set in an astrological ring or pendant. Check the box if you also want the setting.
At this point, you have already paid for the stone and the shipping.
Email or call us about your chosen gemstone and how you would like it to be set. It is a communication process that involves deciding about the style, metal, and knowing your size if a ring. We have pages where our designs are display.
