Crystal Jewelry for Your Loved Ones

All gifts come from the heart but Crystal jewelry is the ultimate gift that keeps on giving! All crystals have metaphysical properties that can be used for healing.

Healing Jewelry

Crystals have been used for their magical and healing properties since mankind's beginning.  Each type of crystal/gemstone is formed by a specific group of atoms and each carries their ownvibrational frequencies (as does everyone and everything in the known universe).  Crystals increase the frequency of light while affecting its movement of photons, allowing them to evolve accordingly with environmental changes and our energy systems. Wearing crystal healing jewelry helps us to focus, transfer, and store this energy which can be received through our auras and chakra systems.  

When selecting your healing crystals or stones, it is important totrust yourself and intuition.  You may be drawn to a particular piece and aren't exactly sure why, although your unique subtle body knows what it needs, oftentimes before you areconsciously aware.


Crystal Healing with Gemstone Jewelry

When people think of using stones and crystals for healing, most likely they are picturing tumbled stones,crystal points, or shaped and polished stones such asgemstone wands. But, did you know that jewelry containing stones (precious or semi-precious) can also be used in crystal healing? Well, it sure can!

Wearing stone and crystal jewelry is an easy, convenient, and attractive way to carry healing stones with you all the time and everywhere you go. The jewelry can be of any type, style or design. For example, it can be a crystal wrapped in wire and strung on a chain; stone beads strung together as a necklace or bracelet; even faceted gemstone jewelry can be used for crystal healing! Stones that are set in gold or silver work especially well since these metals are good conductors of energy.

The stone does not need to be of any particular size and it does not need to be worn on or near any particular area of the body, regardless of what it is being used for. For example, it is often recommended that stones used to heal conditions of the heart (physical or emotional) be worn over the heart, but this is not necessary because one's physical body is surrounded by an etheric body (an energy field which houses the chakras) that directs the stone's healing energies to the appropriate area. Therefore, any form of jewelry can be used, including:

pendants
necklaces
bracelets
rings
earrings
and more.

Jewelry pieces containing multiple kinds of stones generally do not work for healing as their different energies usually cancel each other out, and so most jewelry suitable for healing contain only one kind of stone. Jewelry pieces with multiple stones can be used for healing as long as the stones are all the same kind, for example: a ring with several rubies or a bracelet of amethyst beads.

However, jewelry with two different kinds of stones will work if one of the stones is transparent and colorless, such as clear quartz or diamond. In this instance, the clear stone will serve to amplify the healing effects of the other stone.

Sometimes, jewelry containing multiple varieties of stone (usually only two or three) might work for healing if the stones' energies harmonize well with each other (ie. they have very similar healing properties). Usually, however, different stones are put in the same piece of jewelry because they look good together, not because their energies harmonize.

Several different stones and crystals can be worn for healing at the same time as long as they are in separate jewelry pieces that do not touch each other. To use your jewelry for healing, you would do the same with it as you would with any other healing stone (ie. cleanse it, charge it, program it, etc.). Smudging is the best method for cleansing the energy of your jewelry as other methods may damage it. You should cleanse and recharge your jewelry after each use, or, if it is worn regularly, it should be done daily.

All of my listings will have a description of each stone and it's properties!

How to Keep Copper Rings Clean and Shiny

Why You Need to Clean Copper

Copper will naturally tarnish over time, due to its exposure to the air and the sweat on your skin. Because of this, some copper jewellery is sold with a coating to prevent tarnishing.
Instructions

Make a solution out of warm water, a few drops of lemon or lime juice, and a teaspoon of salt. Mix it thoroughly.

Dip the tarnished copper jewelry into this solution. Leave it there for a couple of minutes.

Remove the jewelry and rinse thoroughly. Repeat if some tarnish still shows.

Use ketchup and a soft toothbrush to remove tarnish on a piece that contains soft or delicate gemstones. The ketchup is not safe on the stones, but using ketchup and a toothbrush will give you more control over the cleaning process. Only clean the copper and avoid touching the gemstones with the ketchup.

Use a jewelry polishing cloth to finish cleaning the copper jewelry and to clean around gemstones.

You can also use a polishing cloth to keep the luster bright on your piece between cleanings.
