Write CommentsThanks for sharing such an informative post on emerald. Few days back someone recommended me to wear Emerald, since then I was searching for its healing and other properties but none of the website were providing all the required information at single place.<br /><br />Thank you so much again :)
I also have emerald ring but I don’t know the right finger to wear it? Can you please help me out?
Hello Lara, as per your question we are here to give you a right answer. If you want to wear Emerald gemstone then you may wear it but it should be of 3-6 carats. You may festoon it is sterling silver or gold precious material. Wear it in a Wednesday morning. The right finger for this talisman is the “Last” finger. For the purification and to activate it you may dip it in a blend of pure water, honey and milk for about half-an-hour as most of the people believe that a charm gets purifies by this procedure. After that recall the name of your Divine and wear it so that you may get the blessing of your God and you may get benefited from it in all the fields of your life.
