The Feng Shui of Jewellery
By Catherine, 4 December 2024
Ever Heard of Feng Shui?
If you’re picturing an ancient Chinese interior designer telling you where to put your couch for good vibes, you’re not far off! Feng Shui (say it with me: feng sway) is indeed about arranging things—but it’s so much more than picking the right corner for your potted plant. It’s about harnessing the power of nature, the earth, and energy to live our best lives, dodge bad fortune, and attract all the good stuff: success, happiness, and maybe even a little bling.
But here’s the twist you might not know: Feng Shui isn’t just about your home. It’s a wardrobe game, too. And guess what? Jewellery can be one of the best personal energy boosters and warders-off of bad vibes you can get! Just imagine your favourite gemstone as your tiny, blinged-out bodyguard—powerful and stylish. Wearing the right jewellery can help you channel the exact vibe you’re after, and the right stones can bring harmony, love, wealth, and peace. It’s like having a portable good-luck charm that you can wear around your neck, wrist, or even on your pinky finger (yes, the pinky counts!).
The Jewels that Work Like Magic
Jewellery is more than an accessory—it’s like a mini Feng Shui ritual in gem form! Each gemstone packs its own vibe, so choosing wisely is key. Some examples of gemstone according to Lookman (2024) include:
Jade: Ever wanted a financial fairy godmother? Jade is like the money magnet of the gem world, attracting prosperity and abundance wherever you go.
Amethyst: The unofficial “chill pill” of the gemstone world. Amethyst helps bring calm, clarity, and spiritual zen, even when you’re navigating the chaos of everyday life.
Rose Quartz: For those looking to spice things up in the love department, rose quartz is like Cupid’s little helper, bringing love and compassion into your relationships
Citrine: Known as the “merchant’s stone,” citrine is believed to attract wealth and success, making it an ideal choice for career-focused individuals.
Black Obsidian: Often used as a protective stone, black obsidian is said to shield you from negative energy—perfect for staying grounded and calm in challenging situations.
Moonstone: This stone is linked with intuition and balance, especially helpful for bringing a calming influence during times of change or uncertainty.
The Five Elements and Gemstones
In Feng Shui, everything is connected to the Five Elements—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. Wearing certain gemstones helps align you with the benefits of these elements:
Wood: Green stones like jade resonate with growth, renewal, and vitality.
Fire: Red and pink stones like garnet and rose quartz fuel passion, love, and energy.
Earth: Yellow stones like citrine or tiger’s eye foster stability, grounding, and abundance.
Metal: White or metallic-hued stones like quartz and hematite support clarity and precision.
Water: Dark stones, such as black obsidian and sapphire, bring adaptability, wisdom, and emotional depth.
How to Wear Your Feng Shui Bling
Think of it as your personal energy suit. Where you wear your jewellery can actually make a difference. A necklace, for instance, sits close to your heart—perfect for gemstones like rose quartz or jade if you’re focused on love or attracting wealth. Rings? Every finger connects to a different element, so wearing a grounding stone on your pinky might just help you nail that next meeting.
- Necklaces and Pendants: Positioned near the heart chakra, these pieces amplify love, compassion, and emotional harmony. They’re especially powerful with stones like rose quartz for love or jade for prosperity.
- Rings and Bracelets: Hands are associated with giving and receiving. Wearing rings or bracelets can help boost communication, openness, and receptivity.
- Earrings: Ears are linked to mental clarity and intuition, so earrings can enhance focus and insight. Try amethyst or moonstone for calm and balance.
So, the next time you’re picking out accessories, give it some thought. By choosing stones that align with your goals, you’re not just putting on jewellery; you’re wearing intention. Because life’s hard enough—why not let a sparkly jade or calming amethyst make the journey a little easier?
