It is crucial to understand how crystals impact you when you are buying gemstone jewelry. It is not enough to just wear that piece. Many do not understand that to activate those powers for your benefit; you must ensure the crystal is near your energy pathway that it can impact.
Why bother learning about the significance of crystal jewelry benefits?
If you are like me, you read the description when you buy your new crystal jewelry, and it tells you how this new jewelry piece can help you daily.
However, something is missing from their excellent description and explanation. And this missing piece is enormous!
Have you ever bought furniture, and the instruction manual was not specific? When you put together the furniture, you either can’t finish it or look strange. Something is missing that doesn’t allow you to enjoy it.
Then you spend so much time figuring out what is missing that it won’t allow you to put it together correctly. Yea, I am looking at you, IKEA!
Now, let’s apply this same ideology to gemstone jewelry. Many times, only small amounts of information are shared with the consumer. The crucial information for how to get those benefits are often overlooked.
Believe it or not, some crystals work better to be worn in certain places of our bodies than others.
This article concerns understanding your crystal jewelry benefits and unlocking its full potential.
How to Maximize Crystal Jewelry Benefits
Every crystal has its way of working. It is unsafe to assume that simply wearing a crystal will give you the benefits claimed. More goes into it than just that. Unsurprisingly, that is where many fall short.
Knowledge is power.
This quote is everywhere and for a good reason too. Having and understanding the knowledge of how and why crystals are super important. Without foundation, we get caught up in fake promises.
For instance, you may have been eying a pair of aquamarine earrings. In the description, one of its attributes is that it can assist a person with effectively communicating with others. That appeals to you. So, you buy the earrings.
Well, those earrings will not effectively provide you with that benefit.
Why can’t I reap that benefit?
Simply put, the earrings are nowhere near your throat or throat chakra. It cannot help you efficiently based on that alone.
Location. Location. Location.
It is so vital, yet no one is talking about it!
Some crystals work better when placed by you rather than on you. Knowing your crystal will unlock its full potential.
For those skeptical about how crystals can aid you, check out my article What No One Talks About, How to Utilize Crystals. In this article, I lay out some crucial foundations of crystals and how they work. I highly recommend this read for further understanding.
Know What Type of Gemstone Jewelry to Buy
I cannot say this enough, research the crystal you are buying!
Now, I understand some people like the look of some crystals and do not care about the other properties. If this is you, keep doing your thing! I sometimes will buy gemstone jewelry just for looks as well. That is a choice I made.
This article advises those who do not know that some of the jewelry they bought may not efficiently give them the benefits they purchased it for. So that they may be able to make their own choice; it’s all about being pro-choice.
Moving along, there are 7 main chakras in the human body. I will not go too far in depth about them in this article. You do not need to know the specifics to understand this concept. If you would like to read more, check out my article here.
The 7 chakras are:
- Crown
- Third Eye
- Throat
- Heart
- Solar Plexus
- Sacral
- Root
Crystals have affinities for some chakras over others. This is important to know because chakras are energy points in your body. As a refresher, crystals are comprised of large amounts of energy. Crystals can give you the power to use them for your purposes.
However, based upon that crystal’s properties are the type of energy the crystal holds. For instance, some crystals have sacral energy, while another saves heart energy. You must place them appropriately if you are trying to use those energies.
You wouldn’t use face cream as body cream, would you? Vice versa.
Typically, if you want to purchase crystal jewelry based on the benefits you read, you want to ensure you know how to use it to receive those benefits.
“Carefully positioned, crystals can change your life.”
– Judy Hall, Crystal Bible
Gemstone Jewelry Types
Gemstone jewelry can be purely aesthetic, or it can be used to enhance your energy. Or simply both. It is up to you.
However, the placement of certain crystals determines the amount of assistance it yields to you. It will vary from crystal to crystal. No one fits. The first step to determining what type of jewelry to purchase your crystal is to determine the chakra channels they connect to.
Bracelets
Generally speaking, you can wear any crystal on your wrists. There is one main component to consider when buying your crystal bracelet. Which wrist should you wear the bracelet on?
Are you trying to absorb those specific energies, or are you trying to manifest them?
Wearing bracelets on your left wrist promotes receiving of crystal’s energies. The purpose is to absorb that energy to cause internal shifts within you.
For instance, you have a tiger’s eye bracelet. You want to receive its energy to increase your self-confidence and inner strength. Then, wear it on your left wrist.
Wearing bracelets on your right wrist promotes release, whether you are trying to release negative energies or give another some of your energy.
Using the same example, your tiger’s eye bracelet should be worn on the right wrist if you are trying to release negative energies or enhance communication. It could also be worn on this wrist to influence whomever you speak to. Your aura will reflect self-confidence in others.
Your left wrist is for receiving, and your right wrist is for forgiving or releasing.
Wear your crystal bracelet on your left wrist:
Alternatively, wear your crystal on your right wrist:
- Release negative energies
- Manifest your intentions
- Protection against negative environmental energies
It is good to alternate between sides to ensure a proper energy balance.
Necklaces
Gemstone jewelry worn as necklaces is best for crystals that impact your throat, heart, or solar plexus chakras. Depending on the chakra crystal determines the ideal length of the chain.
Throat Chakra
A crystal can be used to unblock or balance your throat chakra. Blocked throat chakra can manifest as:
- Difficulty speaking your min
- Talking without thinking
- Insensitivity towards others
- Being dishonest
- Having social anxiety
- Difficulty making decisions
To impact your throat chakra, you want to wear a gemstone jewelry necklace close to your throat, like a choker or a 14-to-16-inch chain necklace. Not every crystal’s energy impacts your throat chakra, either.
Some crystals that impact your throat chakra are:
- Amazonite
- Aquamarine
- Lapis Lazuli
- Blue Lace Agate
- Apatite
- Chrysocolla
- Azurite
- Kyanite
Heart Chakra
Crystals that impact your heart chakra work to balance and unblock this energy pathway. Blocked heart chakra manifests as:
- Difficulty in forgiving others
- Depressed or anxious feelings and thoughts
- Low self-esteem
- Loneliness
When wearing a gemstone jewelry necklace that impacts your heart chakra, you want the crystal to be as close as possible to this energy point. Aim to wear a necklace that extends toward the middle of your chest. Suitable lengths to consider are 18 to 28 inches.
Some crystals that impact your heart chakra are:
- Rose Quartz
- Rhodochrosite
- Green Aventurine
- Green Jade
- Prehnite
- Amazonite
- Emerald
- Rhodonite
- Malachite
- Moonstone
- Kunzite
- Moss Agate
- Peridot
Solar Plexus
The solar plexus is located below your heart chakra, more closely to your abdomen and navel area. To wear a necklace that impacts your solar plexus would need to be pretty long.
You don’t see many necklaces that are this long. Usually, a chain of this length is styled as a lariat. Otherwise known as Y-necklaces. These are super pretty necklaces!
An alternative to wearing a long necklace could be to wear a waist chain.
Imbalances of the solar plexus can manifest as:
- Fatigue
- Overeating
- Excessive weight gain
- Digestive disorders
Some solar plexus crystals are:
- Citrine
- Amber
- Calcite
- Tigers eye
- Pyrite
- Yellow jasper
- Yellow topaz
- Agate
- Lemon Quartz
Earrings
Honestly, wearing earrings does not have a substantial benefit on your chakra. That does not mean that they are entirely useless, though! Wearing some crystals as earrings can enhance your hearing and listening frequencies. This is especially useful for those that are clairaudient.
However, you do not have to be clairaudient to reap any benefits. Particular gemstone jewelry earrings can encourage you to be able to listen and be aware of yourself.
Some excellent crystals you can wear as earrings for the benefits they offer are:
- Amethyst- works to clear your mind, body, and spirit of stress or tension
- Moonstone- raises your vibrational frequency allowing you to manifest your intentions
- Labradorite- opens your eyes to the possibilities that surround you
- Black tourmaline- protects you from negative energies
- Rose Quartz- attracts positivity and words of love and support
- Herkimer Diamond- can only be worn for short periods but enhances creativity and heightens intuition
Rings
Rings are incredibly versatile for gemstone jewelry and have similar properties as bracelets. So, if you wear a ring instead of a bracelet, you are in luck! You can receive the same type of benefits.
Wearing your crystals on the left hand promotes receiving the crystal’s energy while wearing your crystals on your right hand promotes manifestation or release of energy.
Remember, the size of the crystal does not matter. A large crystal exudes the same amount of energy as a small crystal. Wearing your crystal jewelry as a ring does not negatively impact those crystals’ capabilities.
Popular Gemstone Jewelry Shapes
Crystals can come in all shapes and sizes. That is one of their many allures of them. There is a crystal out there for everyone, whether naturally formed or physically shaped into a particular shape. Here are some popular gemstone jewelry shapes and their attribute.
Round/Sphere Gemstone Jewelry
Spheres are a universal symbol that represents infinity, unity, and completeness. Sphere stones radiate unique energies that are created from the Earth. Unlike other crystal shapes, spheres do not have focused energy. Instead, they emit their power in all directions, cleansing the surrounding auric field and encasing it with its healing energies.
Personally, this is my favorite shape to wear.
Point Gemstone Jewelry
Points can occur on the crystal naturally, or they can be shaped. You can either draw energy away from yourself by having a pointed face away from you or channel energy to your body with a point in your direction.
Points allow concentrated energy to flow through that point. Points can either be one-sided or double-terminated. Double-terminated crystals can radiate or absorb energy from both ends simultaneously. They help absorb negative energies and break old habits.
Geode Crystal Jewelry
Geode crystals used in jewelry have a rough outer form, with inner crystals pointing towards a hollow center. They hold and amplify energy, slowly releasing it outward. For this reason, they are lovely in aiding spiritual growth. The slow release of energy will not overwhelm you. Also, they are great for those trying to break habits or addictions.
Before You Buy Your Next Gemstone Jewelry
Next time you are in the market for new gemstone jewelry, keep it in mind if you want it to impact your energy or simply for fashion. There is no wrong answer!
Once you have that figured out, search for your new crystal piece. If you want to use it for energy, determine what part of your life you want to impact. Then, search for the crystal that does just that.
After finding your crystal, it does not hurt to look at the chakra it predominantly operates through so that you understand how it operates.
