Silver-Plated Dhan Yog Bracelet

Every Diwali, families across India light lamps and open their doors for Mahalakshmi, praying that she will stay. Kuber, keeper of the gods' treasury, is worshipped beside her. In astrology, a "Dhan Yog" is the combination in your chart that speaks of wealth, ruled above all by Guru, the planet of fortune.

This bracelet gathers four stones in the colours of that prayer, golden pyrite, sunny citrine, bright tiger eye and fresh green aventurine, and sets them between silver-plated accents. It looks as right in a boardroom as at a puja, so your prayer for prosperity can go with you to work every day.

Wear it, and carry your prayer for prosperity with you every day. People who wear it speak of:

• Strength for your Dhan Yog: traditionally worn to support Guru (Jupiter) and Shukra (Venus), the planets of wealth and comfort, when they are weak in the chart.
• Mahalakshmi's blessing on your earnings: worn with a prayer for money that comes steadily, and stays.
• Confidence in money decisions: tiger eye is traditionally worn for a clear, steady head when you have to make a big choice.
• Doors to new opportunity: green aventurine is known as the stone of opportunity, worn when you are looking for a new job, client or break.
• Prosperity that fits your style: a silver-finished bracelet you'll be proud to wear to work, to meetings and to celebrations.

For business owners, job seekers, anyone starting something new, and a thoughtful gift for a shop opening or a new job.

These are traditional beliefs, lovingly kept, and not guaranteed results.

The first time: on a Friday, Mahalakshmi's day, or a Thursday, Guru's day:

1. Bathe, light a diya before Lakshmi ji, and sprinkle a few drops of Ganga jal or clean water on the bracelet.
2. Hold it in your palms and set your sankalp, one clear intention for your work or your money.
3. Chant "Om Shreem Mahalakshmyai Namah" 11 times, and wear it.

Which hand: many people wear money bracelets on the left wrist, traditionally the hand that receives. If your family follows a different custom, follow that.

Through the day: before a meeting, a sale or a money decision, touch the beads and repeat your intention once. It is a small prayer you can do anywhere.

The fit: strong elastic that fits most wrists, about 6 to 7.5 inches. Roll it on over your hand instead of pulling it wide, and it will last much longer.

Care for it the way you care for your practice: gently, every day.

• Take it off before bathing, swimming, sleeping or a workout. Water can tarnish pyrite and weaken the elastic.
• Keep it away from perfume, lotions and chemicals, which dull the silver plating, and out of long direct sunlight, which can fade citrine and aventurine.
• Stones can chip if knocked, so keep it in its pouch, away from hard objects, when you're not wearing it.
• Roll it on and off; don't stretch it wide. Never soak it in salt water, which damages pyrite.
• On a Friday or a Purnima night, many people place it before Lakshmi ji or in soft moonlight to refresh it. If this is part of your tradition, let it become your monthly ritual.
