Crystal Cleansing

Crystal Cleansing: How to Cleanse, Charge, and Care for Your Gemstone Jewelry (Without Losing the Magic).

Your jewelry isn’t just jewelry.

It’s a memory. A milestone. A talisman. A little shimmer of your story.

We believe the pieces you wear, especially those made with natural gemstones, carry energy. They’re not just accessories; they’re companions. So let’s talk about how to keep them shining, both energetically and physically.

Step 1: Cleanse Your Jewelry (Energetically)

Gemstones are like energetic sponges, they absorb what you go through, help you process, and sometimes need a reset.

Here are a few easy ways to energetically cleanse your gemstone jewelry:

1. Smoke Cleanse
Use ethically sourced palo santo, incense, or sage. Pass your jewelry through the smoke with intention.
Tip: Say a phrase like, “I release any energy this piece no longer needs to carry.”

2. Selenite Charging Dish
Selenite is like a universal energy eraser. Place your jewelry on a selenite bowl or slab overnight for a gentle cleanse. (Psst: We carry selenite bowls that are perfect for this.)

3. Moonlight
Set your pieces out under the full moon, inside on a windowsill works too. Let the moon’s energy bathe your jewelry in renewal.

4. Sound
Use a singing bowl, chimes, or even a simple bell. Let the sound waves wash over your jewelry for a subtle, effective cleanse.

Step 2: Charge It With Intention

Cleansing clears the energy. Charging fills it back up, your way.

Try this:

 - Hold the piece in your hand.
 - Close your eyes.
 - Visualize what energy you want it to carry: Confidence? Calm? Protection? Expansion?
 - Breathe that intention into the stone.
This step is especially powerful for pieces you wear often. You get to decide what they represent.

Step 3: Care for the Materials

Let’s keep that sparkle alive, here’s how to care for your jewelry physically:

Sterling Silver

 - Polish regularly with a silver cloth to keep it shiny. (We love a soft, untreated microfiber cloth.)
 - Store it in an airtight bag when not in use to prevent tarnish.
 - Don’t shower, swim, or sweat heavily in it, silver is sensitive to moisture and will tarnish when repeatedly exposed to moisture.

Gold- or Rose-Gold-Plated

 - Handle with care as plating can fade with too much friction.
 - Wipe gently with a soft cloth after wearing to remove oils.
 - Avoid perfumes, lotions, or sprays directly on your jewelry.

Gemstones

 - Some stones are delicate (like turquoise or moonstone). Skip the chemical cleaners.
 - Use a soft, damp cloth if you need to clean dirt or dust.
 - Keep them out of direct sunlight for long periods as some stones can fade.

Final Thoughts

Caring for your jewelry isn’t about being high-maintenance. It’s about being in relationship with the pieces that walk through life with you.

When you cleanse, charge, and care for your jewelry, you’re not just preserving materials you’re honoring your journey!

Because your glow deserves to be held tenderly, intentionally, and without apology.
