Over the last decade, there has been a lot of interest in Crystal Healing Jewellery and for very good reasons. It combines both beauty and function in one elegant piece.
Crystal healing jewellery is wearable pieces of natural crystals designed with a specific intention and focus, thanks to the crystal being used.
Each crystal jewellery piece has one or more unique natural or polished crystals with the sole purpose of helping improve your health in certain areas.
Some would also suggest the crystals being used are there to increase your own awareness and to focus your mind and energies on specific healing intentions.
Crystal healing jewellery comes in a wide range of styles including:
Each piece is often created in the following setting styles
These lovely adornments are specifically designed with the intention to raise your levels of energy and help you feel better.
Often, the style of setting helps amplify the energy and focus on each particular one.
The reaction people give when they see your beautiful crystal jewellery piece is always a 'Wow, that is stunning' or 'The beauty of that necklace is amazing' or 'Where did you get that lovely piece from?'
Everyone appreciates the beauty of natural gems and even more so when that piece has been beautifully polished.
As mentioned above, certain ones are designed to help with various health issues.
Remember, these are energy just like everything else and it is the properties within that give the specific healing energy people love about them.
Have you ever felt great after receiving a compliment from a friend, loved one or even someone you meet in your travels?
According to Researchers at the National Institute for Physiological Sciences, Nagoya Institute of Technology, and the University of Tokyo, receiving a compliment provides the same feel-good chemicals to be released into your body as receiving cash.
How about that?
Who needs to win the lotto?
Just pop on some beautiful crystal jewellery pieces and wait for the compliments to roll in. In their words, 'To the brain, receiving a compliment is as much a social reward as being rewarded money.'
Every piece has a particular impact on your health.
For example, a rose quartz crystal is considered the stone of unconditional love.
According to Judy Hall, Author of The Encyclopedia of Crystals, 'Rose Quartz is the most important crystal for healing the heart and the heart chakra. Rose quartz is the finest emotional healer. Releasing unexpressed emotions and heartache and transmuting emotional conditioning that no longer serves, it soothes internalized pain and heals deprivation, opening your heart so that you become receptive.'
Rose quartz is a beautiful pink stone and has a wonderful calming effect on those who wear it. If you find yourself getting uptight, then grab a rose quartz piece and set your intention to remind yourself to breathe and take it easy.
Rose quartz is well and truly a high-vibration stone.
All of the above are found in necklaces and are bought as pendants.
These are so beautiful you want to showcase them front and centre.
Earrings are wonderful too.
But pendants worn as necklaces truly sparkle and shine and catch people's eyes right away.
It is important to bear in mind that your crystal jewellery needs cleaning after wearing both emotionally and energetically.
They pick up and store the energy around them.
So before they got to you, they had to be mined, transported, cut and polished, set in place and then made available at the retail store or online crystal shop you bought it from.
When you receive yours you should cleanse it. There are a couple of ways to do this.
The simplest method would be to leave it overnight on a piece of selenite crystal. This could be in the form of a slab (cleansing plate) or a selenite tower lamp or a selenite ruler.
You can also cleanse your crystal jewellery by placing it under the full moon in a safe place. You want to have the moon shine on your crystal for several hours at least.
Some like to use sage smoke to waft across for several minutes.
Once you have cleared the energy, you want to set your intention for your lovely item.
You likely already have a favourite crystal setting such as sterling silver, gold or copper.
Each of these metals has a history dating back 10's of thousands of years.
There are some amazing healing properties of Gold, silver and copper and this is the very reason they complete the natural amethyst or Carnliean as the ultimate healing jewellery piece.
These shiny precious metals are considered by many civilisations to possess special powers of security, and wellness and are thought to have a very positive benefit on the body, mind and spirit.
Gold is the most sought-after precious metal of them all. As a bonus, Gold is one of the finest Feng Shui metals as it gives the owner the feeling of wealth, abundance and money.
The yellow colour in gold provides a feeling of the powerful sun, providing light and energy for everything to live. A true happy colour.
As a result, the properties of the shiny metal have a balancing effect on your body, just like the sun has on the Earth.
Silver is a wonderful metal for encouraging prosperity and wealth and is suggested to boost the ability and healing properties of the crystal within. If you are looking to amplify the healing benefits of a particular gemstone, then silver is an excellent choice. We highly recommend sterling silver.
Copper has for ages helped support the proper operation of the immune system. Copper is a wonderful conductor of energy and when combined appropriately, can enhance their properties.
Another lovely healing option involves symbols.
Symbolic jewellery has been used for thousands of years by all types of people including Kings, Queens, Princes, Princesses, Pharaohs and anyone you can imagine.
Symbolic jewellery is all about the beauty and wonder of the world we live in.
The harmony, the complexity and the many wonderful geometric patterns we see around us.
Some of the most common symbolic ones include:
A combination of the elements above is frequently fashioned into sacred symbols like mandalas, crosses or OM symbols which are intended to energetically raise the vibration of the wearer.
Below are a few sterling silver Tree of life pieces plus a hand-crafted rose gold Tree of life with an amethyst pendant.
Another popular range is the orgonite pendants & orgonite bracelets.
Orgonite pendants are all about clearing your energy and enhancing and focusing the energy you have all around you.
Combining resin, crystals, copper and metal shavings, orgonite jewellery is not only beneficial for you but looks stunning too.
So there you have the many varied and beautiful pieces available to you.
What kind do you like the most? What stones are your favourite?
A great way to get started is to work with your favourite crystal and then add other pieces as you get more clarity around what your intentions are.
We have a wide range of crystal necklaces to raise your vibration, and use for aromatherapy or manifestation. Our energy healing gemstones combine unique healing, magic and inspiration and are the perfect way to share a lovely gift.
