Shiva OM Dear Friends,

You have indeed asked a very pertinent question and in the course of my professional practice as an Astrologer I do come across this question quiet often. My personal take is that, smaller pieces of Diamonds cannot match or even come close to what a single piece or a Solitaire would deliver in terms of Astrological and Gemological benefits. In case you are suggested to wear a Diamond of 1 Carat and if you wear small pieces of Diamonds which match the weight of the single Diamond suggested it would only be a pure waste of money from the Astrological perspective.There is an easy way out of this predicament. Astrologically the Diamond ( Hira ) denotes the planet Venus ( Shukra ). Venus has other subsidiary Gemstones which are well validated and one can simply opt for one of those. Hence, one can wear either an original Zircon or a good quality Ethiopian Opal stone which are valid Up Ratnas ( Subsidiary Gemstones ) of a Diamond. You can comfortably wear a large piece of these Gemstones as they do not cost a bomb and derive better benefits rather than carrying wearing a bunch of these micro mini Diamonds as the entire exercise will be rendered invalid.

Do not forget to wear the Gemstone without adhering to the Prescribed norms for wearing the Gemstone. Strictly adhere to the Muhurat’s, Recitation of the Beej ( Seed ) Mantra, Cleaning, Cleansing and Energisation procedures ideally suggested.

I sincerely hope that this Blog has given you greater clarity in regards to the question posed.

Shivam Kalyanam,
