Namaste,I have a gold pendant with the Om sign on one side and

theother side has Saraswati Devi, are there any restrictions for

wearingthis type of jewelry? Can one put it on and leave it on or

should itbe removed in some situations or are there any restrictions

at all?

Dear theresa ~ I am very interested in any answers you receive to this

question. I bought a small squarish pendant with a beautiful picture

of Krishna on it, with many beautiful colors. Since I am a jewelry

maker I couldn't wait to find what beads I had would match this

pendant, and when I made the necklace, I included beads that had all

the colors in the picture. But I have never worn it. I feel I should

give it as a gift to someone. I wonder if Shree Maa would like it,

even if she didn't wear it. For some reason, I can't explain, even

though it turned out very beautifully, I just felt it doesn't belong

to me, so I don't know what to do with it.

 

However, I will add that I have visited many Indian/Hindu websites,

some of which sell pendants from which to make jewelry, some of which

sell the actual jewelry itself. So I guess my feeling is that if there

were some strong prohibition against wearing these images as part of a

necklace or pin or something, they wouldn't be so widely available.
