The Gemstone Cheat Sheet You Didn’t Know You Needed
From amethyst to citrine, learn how to choose gemstones that truly resonate with you.
A Guide to Choosing Gemstones for Love, Clarity, and Confidence
In my last post, Jewelry Energy 101: How to Cleanse, Recharge, and Reset the Energy of Your Jewelry, we talked about keeping your favorite pieces clear and aligned so they can support you every day. Now let’s talk about something even more personal — how to choose gemstones that match your energy and intentions.
Gemstones aren’t just pretty. Each one carries its own unique vibration, shaped by its mineral makeup, color, and even the way it formed in the earth. When you wear a gemstone daily, it’s interacting with your energy field. That’s why finding the right stone can feel like finding a perfect match.
Why Gemstones Matter in Jewelry
From ancient civilizations to modern crystal lovers, gemstones have been used to support emotional balance, physical wellness, and spiritual connection. They’re like tiny, wearable energy tools. The right one can act as a reminder of your intentions and even help you feel more grounded, open, or confident.
Popular Gemstones and Their Energy
Here are some of my favorites to recommend for friends, clients, and my own collection:
Amethyst – Calming, clears the mind, and helps with focus.
Rose Quartz – The ultimate love stone, promoting compassion and self-love.
Citrine – Bright and uplifting, connected to confidence and abundance.
Black Tourmaline – Protective and grounding, great for daily wear.
Emerald – Supports growth, renewal, and emotional healing.
How to Choose the Right Gemstone for You
Think about what you want more of in your life. Is it love? Clarity? Protection? Abundance? Once you know your focus, you can look for stones that are traditionally associated with those qualities.
You can also:
Go by intuition — see which stone you’re drawn to without overthinking.
Choose based on color — colors carry their own energetic associations.
Explore your birthstone — many people find theirs resonates deeply.
Working With Your Gemstone Jewelry
Once you’ve found a gemstone you love, here’s how to make the most of it:
Set a clear intention the first time you wear it.
Incorporate it into your daily rituals like meditation or affirmations.
Keep it energetically clear using the steps from Jewelry Energy 101.
Gemstones in My Energy Healing Sessions
When I work with clients in my Bloom Sessions, gemstone jewelry often plays a role. Sometimes it’s a piece they already own that just needs a reset, and other times I’ll help them choose a new stone that supports their current goals. Either way, the process feels deeply personal, and it’s such a joy to watch someone connect with a gemstone that truly feels like theirs.
Gemstones aren’t just accessories. They can become part of your energy toolkit, helping you align with the life you’re creating. Pay attention to how you feel when you wear certain stones. That’s often the best guide of all!
With love and alignment,
