Known as the god of prosperity and good
fortune, many turn to Lord Ganesha to invoke
his blessings before starting a new project,
venture or a new phase in life. 

As the world inches back to normalcy amidst the pandemic, the upcoming auspicious festival of Ganesh Chaturthi is an apt time to start anew with the blessings of the divine. 

The son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, Ganesha is also considered as the remover of obstacles. He is the patron of arts and sciences, intellect and wisdom, and is represented in 32 forms. From being a symbol of fertility, wealth and abundance to being a protector against evil, there is much to take inspiration from and be inspired by.

Jewellers and designers have taken their cue from the 32 manifestations of Ganesha and given their own creative spin to create symbolic pieces that beseech a higher power. Here are 10 natural diamond jewellery pieces that emulate Ganesha and all that he stands for.
