Silver Rudraksha Chain

Yes, rudraksha can be worn by anyone regardless of gender, religion, or age. There are no restrictions in wearing rudraksha. However, traditional guidelines suggest treating it with respect - avoid wearing during impure activities and remove before sleeping if preferred.

Silver is considered a pure metal in Vedic traditions, believed to enhance the spiritual properties of rudraksha. Silver also has natural antimicrobial properties, keeping the beads clean. The combination creates both spiritually significant and aesthetically pleasing jewelry.

It is generally recommended to remove rudraksha chains before bathing, especially with soap or shampoo. Water itself is fine, but chemicals can damage the beads over time. Pat dry immediately if the chain gets wet, and oil the beads occasionally to maintain them.

For men, 22-24 inch chains are most popular, allowing the rudraksha to rest at mid-chest level. Shorter 18-20 inch chains sit higher for a more visible look. Consider your typical neckline and whether you want the bead visible or tucked inside clothing.

Traditional energizing involves soaking the rudraksha in milk or water overnight, then washing with Ganga jal (holy water) if available. Chant "Om Namah Shivaya" 108 times while holding the bead. Alternatively, simply wear it with positive intentions and respect.
