An emerald can be set in a gold ring. On a Wednesday morning (Shukla Paksha), the emerald gemstone (Panna) should be worn after dipping the ring in Gangajal or milk and energizing the gem with the Mercury mantra. It should be worn during the muhurt, according to Astrologer Sunil. The stone should be removed before eating food or drinking any beverage. Emerald is the birthstone for January. It is believed that if you wear an emerald ring on January 1st, it will bring you good luck over the next year. The color of the emerald is called "sky's-blue" and its tone is very strong. In fact, it is one of the only gems that does not need to be treated before being set into jewelry. However, since emeralds are made from the fossilized remains of marine organisms, they do tend to absorb some of that water content which can cause stones from other sources to absorb more moisture than usual. Thus, it is recommended that you keep them isolated from water until needed. It is said that kissing an emerald will protect the person who wears it. This is because emeralds contain a large amount of iron and when those who wear them kiss someone, they get magnetized! Another myth is that if you wear an emerald ring, then you will fall in love quickly.
