A Jyotish gemstone is a very potent transformer of your bodily and spiritual energies. When wearing it on a ring or a pendant you must make sure that it is open on its upper and lower surfaces.

This is to ensure that the light of the Sun energizes the gemstone while the lower side touches your skin transferring the gemstone's energies to your body.

There are two ways of making a gemstone ring:

 1. Bezel setting: A bezel is a strip of gold or silver which is bent around the stone and then soldered to form a frame to hold the gemstone. The bezel is slightly broader than the gemstone's depth and the part of it extending beyond the gemstone's top surface is rubbed or lightly hammered on to the gemstone's surface to hold the gemstone to it.

This bezel is soldered to a circular band of silver or gold which has been left open at the top to leave space for the bezel. This circular band and the soldered bezel form a complete ring which hold a gemstone. This design leaves the gemstone open at the bottom and at the top. 

 2. Prongs setting: In this setting the bezel is narrower than the depth of the gemstone it holds but it has three or more prongs attached to the it.

These prongs are bent or hammered over the surface of the gem to hold it in place on the ring. Rest of the ring is similar to the bezel ring.

A pendant uses only a bezel or a bezel with prongs but has no circular band to form a ring. Instead, it has a loop to enable it to be worn on a silver or gold chain.
