Crystals have long been a topic of debate—some swear by their healing properties, while others remain skeptical. But one thing is undeniable: they are undeniably beautiful. Take rose quartz, for example, with its delicate range of pink hues, or amethyst, which showcases stunning shades of purple. Azurite, on the other hand, offers a deep, rich blue that’s hard to ignore.
For me, wearing a simple, natural piece of jewelry—like an uncut stone on a chain—feels comforting. I can’t quite explain why, but there’s something about keeping a natural accessory close that just feels right. Maybe it’s the supposed mystical energy of the crystal, or maybe I just appreciate beautiful, affordable things. Either way, crystal jewelry has a timeless appeal. It pairs effortlessly with casual outfits for an earthy touch or adds an unexpected element to dressier looks. And if it happens to boost my confidence or bring emotional healing, I’m all for it.
There are plenty of places to find beautiful crystal jewelry, including Moon Magic, Energy Muse, and Etsy. I personally shopped at Moon Magic for these pieces—they offer free shipping on orders over $50 and hassle-free returns. While I don’t know much about Energy Muse, I’ve decided to take a break from Etsy after a couple of disappointing purchases, despite having had great experiences in the past.
One piece that caught my eye is a raw aquamarine ring. The textured blue stone is set in simple sterling silver, and its color reminds me of the ocean in Fiji. At just $59, it’s a steal. Aquamarine is often called the “Stone of Courage and Protection” and is believed to enhance communication and self-expression.
Another standout is a pair of classic drop earrings featuring luminescent moonstone in a scalloped setting. They make a bold statement yet are versatile enough to wear daily—perfect with a floral summer dress or a cozy turtleneck in winter. Moonstone is said to have calming and healing properties.
For summer, delicate bracelets are a must since bulky jewelry can feel too heavy in the heat. A stainless steel and marble bracelet priced at $19 is a great find. It can be worn alone or stacked with other pieces for a stylish, feminine look. Marble is believed to cleanse the body of impurities and promote self-control.
I also have a Protection Eye necklace that a friend gave me years ago, though it’s much larger and a bit eerie compared to a more modern design I recently found. This version features an Ethiopian opal surrounded by white topaz stones, hanging from a nickel-free sterling silver chain. It’s simple yet has a touch of glamour. Opal is thought to release inhibitions, intensify emotions, and even help with PMS.
Many celebrities believe in the power of crystals, including Victoria Beckham, Kylie Jenner, Katy Perry, Adele, and Miranda Kerr. Beckham always carries a pouch of crystals, while Adele uses them to manage stage fright. In fact, she once blamed a poor Grammy performance on losing her crystals before the show. Perry has even mentioned using rose quartz to attract love.
Of course, skeptics argue that these stories are just quirks of creative personalities. The big question remains: do crystals actually work? Science hasn’t provided much concrete evidence. A 2001 study suggested that while crystals may not have inherent powers, they can have a placebo effect—meaning they work for those who believe in them. Adele, for instance, finds comfort in her crystals, which helps ease her anxiety.
So, do crystals truly have mystical properties? That’s up for interpretation. Personally, I like to think they do—if only because it gives me one more reason to indulge in some beautiful crystal jewelry this season.
