Without knowing it, your jewellery could actually be benefiting you in more ways than simply adding sparkle and style to your outfits! In this article, you can discover the unusual ways in which you could be helped and healed.
Gemstones
Opals are said to build confidence There is a multitude of different gemstones available, each with its own appeal based on their colours, the cut and how they are set in different jewellery designs.
Different gemstones are said to have certain properties and health benefits both physically and mentally, so it’s worthwhile looking into them to see which best meet your needs before you buy.
For example, if you’re looking for something to build confidence, opals are said to be your best bet, whereas if you’re looking for calm, serenity and relaxation, rose quartz can help. Amber is supposed to help your body physically and is particularly beneficial to the nervous system, citrine is well-known to help success and prosperity and is perfect for helping students with their revision.
Sterling Silver
It isn’t just gems that supposedly help us in many ways, but sterling silver too.
Not only that, but sterling silver is said to have helpful characteristics of its own as well. The physical benefits of sterling silver are said to include the support of healing skin, preventing arthritis and reducing any muscle aches. In terms of emotional wellbeing, sterling silver is said to help improve perseverance and patience, as well as creating a soothing and cleansing effect.
Gold Jewellery
Ancient beliefs about the benefits of wearing gold jewellery are still held by many people today. Gold jewellery is said to create vibrations against the skin when worn, which in turn can help to heal wounds quicker than they would on their own.
Gold is also believed to be particularly useful against infections or tender areas of the skin.
Other Metals Used in Jewellery
Copper, a vital mineral for the body, can be used in jewellery and worn to boost circulation in the body as well as improve the pains that come from having arthritis. Copper jewellery reacts with the skin and its oils, for its healing properties to be absorbed.
Titanium jewellery on the other hand - no pun intended - can help to reduce pain in areas of the body that the jewellery sits on. So if you suffer from neck pain, you could benefit from a titanium necklace.
These are just a few of the health benefits that many people believe come from wearing jewellery. Whether or not it’s something you believe to be true, we can all agree on the fact that wearing our favourite pieces of jewellery can make us feel fabulous!

Oh I never knew about the health benefits side, I don't wear jewellery often but I do find it makes me feel better when I wear it going out not just to finish and outfit I find it picks my mood up as well, going to look into this further though and maybe at some everyday jewellery thank you x
ReplyDeleteI like to add it to finish off an outfit too, especially in the evening and I always wear earrings, day and night.
