The Magic of Crystals & How to Choose Them
Created naturally over millions of years, crystals are thought to harness the life-giving elements of the Earth and the Universe. They infuse the powerful energy of the sun, moon, earth and the oceans and perhaps this is why so many people are drawn to them.
We are often asked, "How do I know which crystal is the right one for me?" With so many beautiful crystals available, it can be a daunting decision to make. Consider the following to help you decide which crystal or piece of jewelry would be best for you:
INTENTION OR MEANING
Each Crystal carries a unique vibration and intention associated with it. You can choose your crystals based on what intention you would like to manifest most in your life. Your intention is personal to your journey and only you can decide the goals you are working to accomplish.
What are you currently wishing for in your life? You may be looking to attract more confidence, or live a more calm and balanced life. This is actually a perfect opportunity to look inwards and ask yourself questions like:
What do I want to create in my life?
What am I working on, emotionally or spiritually?
What am I struggling with or challenged by?
Once you have decided what you need the most, you can look to see if there is a crystal that is associated with your intention. We have named our products by their intention. For example, if you are needing more abundance in your life, we have an Abundance wish bracelet and Abundance Mala bracelet. When you wear the crystals they act as a reminder of your wishes that you need to manifest.
INTUITION
Another approach to choosing the perfect piece of crystal jewelry is letting your intuition guide you. You know that gut feeling you get when you just know before logic takes over. That’s the best feeling in the world because your inner voice is coming through loud and clear.
When you hear this voice, LISTEN, it’s your intuition talking! When you are strongly pulled towards a certain piece of jewelry, if you can't stop thinking about or looking at it, it is a way of telling you what you currently need in your life.
BEAUTY
Finally, beauty is a key element in choosing the right crystals for you.
We believe that things that you are visually drawn to are integral in your healing. Whether it’s a beautiful landscape, a cute animal or a gorgeous piece of jewelry. Surrounding yourself with beautiful and uplifting things can be powerful. Colour is an important aspect that could help you decide what crystal to choose. The colours we are drawn to tell us a lot about our inner world. It’s believed that certain colours are therapeutic and can contribute to our healing.
Some things to consider:
What’s your favourite colour?
Which colours give you a sense of calm or burst of energy?
What colours do you like wearing the most?
The shape of the crystal could also help in your decision. Do you like bigger chunkier crystals or small or dainty crystals? Are you drawn to symmetrical shapes or asymmetrical? We use many different crystal shapes in our Necklace Collection.
Most importantly, whether you choose your crystals based on your intuition, the intention of the gemstones, or how beautiful you find it, remember to take your time, travel within, and be true to yourself!
You don't need to choose just one type, you can combine crystals to enhance their energy. We love pairing any crystal with Clear Quartz because it is said to be the master healer of all crystals. Our love of crystals was one of the things that inspired us to create Eleven Love. You can browse our collection and see what you’re drawn to. We have many different styles of crystal jewelry, from Mala Bracelets, 11:11 Make a Wish Bracelets, Necklaces, and more.
