How to Choose the Right Gemstone
Choosing a gemstone becomes easier when you understand a few important factors.
Color, Clarity, Cut and Weight
The beauty of a gemstone depends on its color richness, clarity, precision of cut, and weight. These elements together determine the overall appearance and value of the stone.
Ratti vs Carat
In modern gemstone trade, carat is the standard international measurement of weight. In traditional Indian astrology, gemstones are often measured in ratti.
A simple way to understand the difference is:
1 carat ≈ 1.1 ratti
Understanding this helps customers select gemstones that match astrological recommendations while also understanding modern gemstone measurements.
