Interested in the meaning behind particular gemstones?

As far back as the Stone Age, the healing properties of gemstones, their beauty, and magic have been recognized and harnessed. They have always had a protective, as well as a decorative function, guarding the wearer against harm. Gemstones were frequently worn and carried by ancient Egyptians as amulets and charms. Greek mythology frequently refers to gemstones, and many have been discovered, in the tombs of Chinese rulers. Gemstones were used extensively in ceremonies and initiations by the Native Americans, the Mayans, and the Aztecs.

Many gemstones have more than one colour. I’ve become used to recognizing the main healing effects of stones based on their colours as each colour has it’s own vibration.

Chalky white, grey, silver, brown or black coloured stones tend to be useful protectors. They ground the physical body (help us feel more connected) and detoxify negative energies.

Red stones stimulate and strengthen. May activate creativity and revitalize potency.

Yellow stones awaken and organize the mind and energize situations. They rebalance and calm emotions. Great for people with Seasonal Affective Disorder.

Green stones are perfect for environmental healing and the heart; they calm and rebalance.

Blue stones calm and clarify. They facilitate communication and self-expression, They ground spiritual energy, and assist intuition.

Purple, indigo, and lilac stones integrate and align higher energies; assist in spiritual awakening, stimulating service to others.

Need to know your correct size?

Position your hand as in the picture above. Using a measuring tape take the measurement of the widest part of your hand that the bangle will need to slide over. Don’t have a measuring tape! No worries! Use a piece of twine, wool, etc. Once you’ve done this, lay the string, or whatever you’ve used flat and take the measurement.

To convert a wrist circumference to a numeric bracelet size, simply add 1/2 inch to the wrist measurement. Or, if you’d like to convert the opposite way, subtract 0.5 inches from the bracelet size to find the wrist circumference. To give an example, a size 8 bracelet equals a wrist circumference of 7.5 inches. A 9-inch wrist circumference would be a size 9-1/2 bracelet.
