Everything You Need to Know About Chakra Jewelry & Where to Buy it

Did you know that you can heal your chakras through jewelry? That’s right, you can work on your chakras while looking stylish at the same time. 

Chakra jewelry is a type of jewelry which uses specific crystals known to have healing properties for particular chakras. These crystals or gemstones can be used to bring physical, mental and spiritual benefits to the physical and subtle body. 

In this guide, we look at the benefits of chakra jewelry, what to look out for when buying chakra jewelry and some of the best places to buy it. 

What Are the Benefits of Chakra Jewelry?

Crystals have been revered since ancient times for their subtle healing properties. They are said to have their own unique vibrations which can promote the flow of positive internal energy around the physical body and dispel negative energies. 

This is why crystals are often used in chakra healing practices as chakra healing is all about releasing trapped or blocked energy from our chakras so that it can flow freely throughout the body, promoting optimum physical and mental health. 

Each of the seven primary chakras are associated with certain types of chakra crystals or precious stones according to color and energetic quality. These crystals have the power to heal, recharge and harmonize our chakra energy centers.

Simply wearing a chakra necklace or chakra bracelet can help support your chakras and therefore your overall spiritual and emotional health. 

Some believe that chakra jewelry can almost act like a protective shield. All the negative energy you’re exposed to in your daily life is blocked or deflected by the chakra crystals, protecting your sacred energy and supporting your personal energetic field.

In this way it’s similar to evil eye jewelry which is designed to protect the wearer from evil and ward off negative energies. 

Types of Chakra Jewelry

Chakra jewelry comes in all different shapes and sizes, but the most common types are chakra bracelets, chakra necklaces, chakra earrings and chakra rings.

Some pieces of jewelry will include stones for each of the chakras while others, such as pendant necklaces or rings, will include crystals to heal one particular chakra.

There is also zodiac-inspired chakra jewelry which includes crystals which are particularly beneficial to you based on your zodiac sign.

The great thing is you can simply choose the type of jewelry you most enjoy wearing and use it to heal your chakras. Or if you’re trying to heal a particular chakra it can help to wear a piece of jewelry close to the location of the chakra .

For example, if you want to heal your Throat Chakra then you might consider wearing a choker necklace with a Throat Chakra stone such as turquoise so the crystal is next to your throat. 

Chakra Bracelets

Chakra bracelets are one of the most popular forms of chakra jewelry. The best healing crystal bracelets can help to bring harmony to your life and rebalance energies in your body. 

What are the Healing Properties of Chakra Bracelets?

The specific healing properties of chakra bracelets depend on the particular stones used, but a chakra bracelet can help to:

  • Increase mental focus
  • Reduce negative thoughts
  • Keep the chakras open and support the flow of energy around the body
  • Reduce physical and emotional ailments

What Stones Should be in a Chakra Bracelet?

There are seven chakras in the human body and each of these chakras are connected to particular crystals and gemstones. 

The following crystals can be used to heal each of the chakras:

  • Root Chakra: Smoky quartz, red jasper, black tourmaline, garnet, black obsidian, bloodstone, ruby, hematite, black onyx, fire opal and jet.  
  • Sacral Chakra: Amber, carnelian, tiger’s eye, sunstone, orange calcite, brown citrine, fire opal, orange jasper, tangerine quartz and orange aventurine. 
  • Solar Plexus Chakra: Agate, citrine, yellow topaz, yellow jade, pyrite, yellow jasper, amber, moonstone, golden calcite and fire opal. 
  • Heart Chakra: Rose quartz, amazonite, aventurine, green aventurine, rhodonite, peridot, jade, malachite, pink tourmaline, green tourmaline, green moss agate, emerald and ruby. 
  • Throat Chakra: Turquoise, celestite, blue apatite, aquamarine, sodalite, angelite, blue sapphire, lapis lazuli, blue lace agate, blue aragonite and blue calcite.  
  • Third Eye Chakra: Sodalite, lapis lazuli, sapphire, angelite, blue aventurine, celestite, azurite, sugilite, amethyst, lolite and fluorite. 
  • Crown ChakraClear quartz, moonstone, amethyst, blue opal, blue sapphire, white calcite, white topaz and selenite. 

You can choose a crystal to target a particular chakra or wear a range of crystals to help maintain balance across all your chakras.

How Do I Know if my Chakra Bracelet Is Real?

An authentic chakra bracelet must be made up of real chakra crystals and precious stones in order for it to have healing properties.

High quality, real stones are a must if you want to get the most out of your chakra jewelry. Follow these tips to make sure you select the best chakra bracelet or best chakra necklace for you:

  • Look at the bracelet or crystal necklace with a magnifying glass to see if there are any marks on the beads. Fake beads usually have machine marks on them.
  • Look for stains on the thread of the bracelet. Fake beads are often painted and can leave a color stain on the thread.
  • Rub the beads carefully with nail paint remover or paint thinner. If the beads are fake, this is likely to remove the color. 
  • Hold the bracelet to your cheek – does it feel cool? Real stones are naturally cool and soothing but fake beads won’t have the same cooling effect. 
  • Are the holes in the beads smooth and consistent? Real chakra beads often get dented during the drilling process so the holes are likely to be rough and uneven, whereas plastic beads are easy to drill though so they are likely to be smooth. 
  • Always purchase chakra jewelry from a trusted seller. 

On Which Wrist Should You Wear Balancing Chakra Stones Bracelets?

Which wrist you wear your chakra bracelet on depends on what your intention is.

In Hindu and other spiritual traditions, the left side of the body is believed to be feminine, while the right side is seen as the masculine side. 

The feminine side is the receiving side, where positive energies are absorbed into the body. In contrast the masculine side is responsible for expression and the release of negative energy outside of the body. 

Therefore wearing a crystal bracelet on the left hand allows you to absorb the positive energy emitted by the crystals. However, wearing a bracelet on your right hand, allows you to channel negative energies out of your being.

For chakra healing, we often wear chakra bracelets on the left hand as we want to channel the positive effects of the crystals inwards towards our chakras.

However if you are more concerned with expelling negative energies then you might want to wear a chakra bracelet containing cleansing stones like black tourmaline or crystal quartz on your right hand. 

Chakra Necklaces

Chakra necklaces are another stylish and simple way to get the benefits of chakra crystals.

What to Look for When Choosing the Best Chakra Necklaces?

First you need to consider whether you want a chakra necklace with crystals dedicated to healing each of your chakras, or if you would prefer a pendant with just one or two crystals to help heal a specific chakra. 

Chakra necklaces come in all different sizes and designs, and it’s entirely up to you which you prefer to wear.

As with chakra bracelets, when choosing the best chakra necklaces, it’s important to look at the quality of the stones or beads. Examine them closely – do they show any signs of being plastic? Do they feel cool to the touch? Authentic stones and crystals will have natural imperfections and will likely feel cool on your cheek. 

It’s also important to make sure you get your jewelry or beads from a reputable and trusted seller. 

How to Make Your Own Chakra Bracelet or Necklace

If you’re a creative person, you might want to think about making your own chakra jewelry. There are lots of great shops where you can purchase high quality chakra beads or crystals. 

Follow these steps to make a chakra bracelet or 7 chakra necklace:

  1. Source your beads from a reputable supplier (more on this later in the article).
  2. Select a crystal bead for each of the seven primary chakras. Generally the color of the crystals will reflect the chakra colors.  
  3. Measure your wrist size or how long you would like the necklace to me. Then measure out a slightly longer piece of thread or cord, leaving extra thread for tying together at the end. If you’re making a stretchy adjustable bracelet, then measure the cord when it is stretched and give it a few gentle tugs so it keeps its elasticity. 
  4. Lay out your chakra gemstones in the order of your chakras, starting with the Root Chakra (i.e. a red crystal bead) and ending with your Crown Chakra (i.e. a purple crystal bead). 
  5. If you like you can add filler beads either side of the Root Chakra bead and Crown Chakra bead. Matte black, clear glass beads and lava rock beads can work well. 
  6. Once you’re happy with the order of your beads, begin stringing them onto the string or cord. It may help to use a needle if the holes in the beads are small. 
  7. Once you’ve strung all the beads together, tie a tight knot at both ends of the line of beads to keep them secure. Then tie both ends together in a surgical knot – some people like to add a dab of jewelry glue to the knot to keep it extra secure.If you’re making a necklace you may prefer to use a metal jewelry fastener like a lobster trigger clasp. 
  8. Finally, you should cleanse and recharge your necklace or bracelet before wearing it so that the crystals are fully activated and emit positive healing energies. More on that below. 

How to Activate a Chakra Bracelet or Necklace with Good Energy

It’s important to cleanse and re-energize your chakra jewelry from time to time in order for the crystals to work effectively. There are lots of different ways to do this including holding it under running water, leaving it under a full moon or cleansing it with moon water. 

You can also perform a positive affirmation ritual:

  • Find a quiet space where you can relax.
  • Close your eyes and take some deep breaths until you find yourself going into a meditative state. 
  • Hold the bracelet or necklace in your hands.
  • Focus your psychic energy on the bracelet or necklace, while practicing rhythmic breathing. 
  • Recite a mantra or positive affirmation, such as “I dedicate these crystals to healing my chakras so that my infinite energies can run freely.”  
  • Wear the bracelet or necklace after you activate it.
