Choose the gemstone that suits you

Perhaps you have already been enchanted by the beauty, color and special appearance of gemstones and crystals. But how do you choose one that you can wear with a good feeling (and positive effect)?

It is not difficult and you can and may choose yourself. Because there is a big misunderstanding: people often think that they cannot or may not do this themselves. People tend to trust external sources rather than their own feelings:

• one consults a book about gemstones
• an expert or someone with more experience is consulted
• someone is asked to commute

There is nothing wrong with that, but realize that Mother Earth did not provide a manual with rules or strict instructions for use with the crystals that grew in her womb. That is why it is so incredibly personal and that is why someone else's opinion or expertise is always personal. In other words, what is good for one person, does not necessarily have to be good for another. So it is really better to choose for yourself! Moreover, many people wear gemstones with the aim of getting closer to themselves and their own wisdom. What is a better start to that goal than choosing the gemstone that you will wear to support you on your spiritual path?

In short, let go of your insecurities and worries. You can choose perfectly! How? Just like this:

• Look at the colours of the gemstones and jewellery. Which colour appeals to you? Which ones do you dislike? Which ones suit you? Let the colours of your stones match or contrast with the colours of your clothing. Your colour palette and preferences in this area say a lot about your personality and it is good to match the colour of your gemstone to this. Why would you wear a stone if you don't like the colour? If something doesn't feel good, it is often not good for you. So let yourself be guided by your unique sense of beauty - then you will always be right! What you like, suits you - it's that simple.
• Look at the meanings, explanations and keywords in the descriptions on our site. Does something touch you? Bingo! Does your heart skip a beat, are you moved, can you completely identify with something? Got it, that stone is for you!
• A bracelet is no better than a loose stone. A pendant is no less effective than a rough stone on the windowsill, or the other way around. Look at the shape and design that you like and that you feel comfortable with. If you never wear bracelets, then skip them for a while. If you always walk around with a bag or clutch, then put a nice cuddly stone in it. Or pin a pendant on the inside of your blouse. Look, experiment, experience. That way you will find out what works for you. So always choose what you like and what your heart longs for. Trust your own taste and preferences - not those of someone else. Your sense of aesthetics is the best guide in this life!!
• You can also choose based on zodiac sign. Then you are always right, those stones always suit you. We have a special overview here: https://c534de.myshopify.com/collections/zodiac-sign-gemstone-pendants
• Do you want to choose someone else? Then put yourself in that person's shoes. What do you want for him or her? Based on that, look at the effect and meanings of the gemstones. What is his or her favorite color? That is also a nice way to choose.
• Know that stones are part of nature, of creation, of the cosmos - the life energy and love of the universe flows into it, and we are subtly and unconsciously connected to it, just like with the animal kingdom, with the flowers and the elements. Stones are not enemies, stones are friends. Every stone can give you a lesson and a message, so dare to listen. Listen to yourself, to the gemstone - and occasionally to someone else, but above all follow your own insight and feeling on this path!
