Cautions
No matter how much you want to decorate your everyday look with it, you should remember that Yakhont does not suit everyone.
Experts say that jewelry with him should appear in the box in high moral young women. Then they will inspire them to do good deeds. Childless women who dream of a large offspring, should also acquire them.
They are also suitable for young ladies who are shy and prone to depression and melancholy. Having acquired them, they will have self-confidence, the longing will disappear and the desire to win will increase. The stone will save from dangers, will relieve from uncertainty and excessive suspiciousness.
You should never buy a product with a ruby girl with a choleric temperament. Because of their wearing they will develop self-confidence, arrogance. If such qualities as anger, aggression and cruelty are inherent in them, they will become even more pronounced. By itself, the gem is temperamental, and therefore unrestrained and excitable women of fashion will acquire with it a tendency to emotional breakdowns.
