Did you know that humans have been wearing jewelry for centuries? Remnants have been found at nearly all pre-historic sites indicating that the act of adorning oneself is as old as we are. The ancient Greeks made reference to their belief in the metaphysical and healing properties of crystals, the Sumerians used crystals in magical formulas, and Egyptians understood that their stones would protect them and their dead, and help them heal.
The earliest civilizations definitely understood the power in using Jewelry as a way to align to the mysterious forces of the Universe. Later civilizations continued to use adornment as a way to express adoration, commitment, wealth, and status. In our contemporary times, we have used jewelry as powerful symbols to unite groups, and often use it as a way to stand out in a crowd and show our individual and unique style as a way to feel confidence and security.
Everything in our world (including you, everybody else, animals, plants, and all inanimate objects) having a vibration, this knowledge is recognized by more and more people today, and echoes the wisdom of our ancestors. Literally everything has a frequency (the speed or cycle of the unique vibration) and affects us just by being in our vicinity.
Jewelry has the ability to help you on your path of growth and transformation and bring you into more alignment with your authentic self.
Metals, crystals and gemstones also have symbolic, metaphysical, energetic, and health qualities that can be used to really target specific desires and aid in manifesting or releasing certain circumstances or behaviors. Entrainment is what happens between like vibrations. So, if you want to work on a certain area of your physical, emotional, spiritual, or mental body, you can use the crystals (stones) that carry that energy to restore balance to your system.
Pretty cool, right?! Your adornments can help you so much more than just looking good.
Especially when your pieces are made and worn with intention (and possibly created just for you), they can help you heal from the inside out. Your Jewelry should also be reminding you of your innate gifts of courage, wisdom, and strength, and inspiring you to live out your soul’s purpose and highest potential.
Choosing your pieces based on the energies is key to using jewelry as a tool of empowerment.
