Gemstones and minerals can be classified in various ways, such as their origin, color, which mineral group they belong to, and also their healing properties.
Gemstones have symbolic meaning and, according to some people, can have a positive influence on mental and physical health.
It is important to note that the effects of gemstones have not been scientifically proven, and the use of gemstones should not be seen as a replacement for medical treatments. However, it can be a beautiful addition to a certain lifestyle and thus contribute to promoting well-being and balance.
Which gemstone suits you best is very personal. It is best to be guided by your feelings. You can also let the specific properties play a role.
On the various Gemstone pages, you can find more information about the properties of different gemstones.
I incorporate different gemstones into jewelry that you can wear daily on your skin, so their effect is optimal.
When creating the jewelry, I am primarily guided by the color and the feeling the gemstones give me. I then decide which piece of jewelry I will create.
For most types of gemstones, they do not fare well in direct sunlight as they may discolor.
Also, gemstones do not tolerate water well, some not at all; often because the stone is porous.
Due to the combination with other materials, it is also better not to let the jewelry come into contact with water.
This applies particularly to jewelry that incorporates silk.
