Frequently Asked Questions

I have a stainless steel spring watch strap attached to my gem settings. Is it ok to wear?

This is a great question and sadly stainless steel has not been found to be positive to wear.

In muscle testing exercises also known as Kinesiology. Stainless steel has been found to be a weakening metal to wear. However if you have no other options, then I am guessing the benefit of big flawless deeply colored astrological gemstones can outweigh the negative influence of a stretchable stainless steel strap. It would have been easy for Astrogems to sell navaratnas with stainless steel watch straps years ago but for the above reason we created our own spring-loaded straps made of pure silver, gold, or copper. We only sell them to existing customers as part of our service. Pure silver springlinks are a great way to strengthen the influence of a benign moon. But when i write pure silver, absolutely do not confuse this with sterling silver which is a 92.5% silver alloy and does not have the same radionic signature of the Moon!!. If your moon is compromised in your chart pure silver is an excellent supplement to greatly lessen the past karmic vibratory recordings in your spine. Copper is for Mars and Gold strengthens the benign aspects of your Sun. There are still astrologers today who think if a person has a debilitated or weakened planet they should not wear the gem or metal for that planet. At Astrogems after 4000 navaratnas and discussions with every client. We consider each client to be a laboratory of consciousness that measures their own experience. It is based on customer feedback that we do, how we do. Not by reading books that very often are written by authors with exceptionally little "in the field" experience. If I had received positive feedback from customers 44 years ago while experimenting with stainless steel straps I would be delighted to include them as they are so inexpensive, but sadly I did not. These days with pure gold being so expensive we also offer a clever design where we solder a pure gold plate to the skin-touching base of the pure silver spring links to help the person get the most influence out of the least practical amount of pure gold.
