How To Wear Crystal Bracelets

If you’ve been worried about how to wear crystal bracelets and if you’re doing it right, I’ve got you covered. It can be confusing when you first learn about crystals, heck it’s still confusing and I’ve been at this for years. There’s so much information out there, it can be overwhelming. 

So naturally when you get a crystal bracelet you want to wear it so you get maximum benefit from it. Here’s how to wear your crystal bracelets. 

Which hand do you wear crystal bracelets on?

This question comes up all the time. Which wrist do you wear a crystal bracelet on to get maximum energetic benefits from it? 

Wear on your left or non-dominant hand to attract what you want or to bring in that energy. The energy you want to take in, wear on your left wrist. 

Here’s some examples of that:

• To attract wealth and success wear a money magnet crystal on your left or non-dominant wrist pyrite, citrine, tigers eye, etc.).
• If you need good luck, wear green aventurine or other lucky crystals on your left wrist (non-dominant hand)
• If you need stress relief, wear it on your left wrist.

For energy you want to express or to put a protective energy bubble around your aura, wear on your right or dominant hand. 

Here’s some examples of that:

• If you want to be more compassionate towards others, like if a friend is going through a tough time and you want to be there for them, wear rhodonite on your dominant hand. 
• If you want to protect yourself from negative energy, wear black onyx, amethyst, etc. on your right. 

If you’re not sure which wrist to wear a bracelet on, just think “Left hand to take in that energy and right to express that energy.

If you’re still not sure, go with your intuition or what feels right. Your body knows what to do. You’ll benefit either way. 

How many crystal bracelets can you wear?

Some crystal practitioners are strict and say you shouldn’t wear crystals that could cancel each others’ energy out or is conflicting with what you’re trying to manifest. This is what I think and has worked for me. 

If your main focus is to manifest more orders in your business or to attract a romantic partner, then only wear crystals that will support that. Wear as many as you want to manifest that goal. The more energy the better in my book. 

It’s okay to mix and match crystals. It’s unlikely you’ll cancel the energy out. You‘ll be surrounded with more energy and if it makes you feel good, keep doing it. Crystals are healing and beautiful. It’s okay to wear as many or as little as you want.  

Some days I wear one mini bracelet and sometimes I wear eight. Do what feels right to you.

How to take care of your crystal bracelets

Here’s how to take care of your crystal bracelets to make them last years. I have many crystal bracelets in my personal collection and not one has broken on me. I put them on with care, expose them to very little harmful chemicals, cleanse them and store them properly. 

What does it mean when a crystal bracelet breaks?

When a crystal bracelet breaks, it may indicate the completion of a cycle or the end of a certain phase in your life. It could also be seen as a sign of protection from harm or negative energy, as the bracelet has absorbed those energies and broke as a result.

In the realm of crystal healing and energy work, some practitioners believe that a crystal bracelet breaking could signify that the crystal has done its job of releasing or transmuting energy, and that it is time to either replace the bracelet or find a new crystal to work with.

Rose Quartz Bracelet Breaking Meaning

Rose Quartz is often associated with love, self-care, and emotional healing, so a broken Rose Quartz bracelet may indicate a need to focus on these areas in one’s life. It may also suggest that the energy of the crystal has been fully expended or that the wearer has successfully absorbed its healing properties. Some believe that a broken Rose Quartz bracelet could signify a need to release past hurts or old emotional patterns, while others view it as a sign of protection from negative energy

Why Do Elastic Bracelets Break?

The number one reason they break is because the elastic snapped. To avoid snapping the elastic band, take care when putting them on. 

• Do roll the bracelet gently over your hand and onto your wrist. 
• Don’t stretch it when putting it on, because it weakens the elastic and eventually it will snap. 
• Don’t get it caught on things and be careful around pets and babies. 

Babies love to pull on crystal bracelets. Pets can get their claws caught on the elastic and snap it too. Just put it away if you’re in an environment where the bracelet could get caught or pulled. 

It’s made of thin plastic, so it’s not the most durable material in the world. We like elastic, because it stretches to fit our wrists comfortably and it has a clean look, but it needs some care when putting it on. 

That’s why elastic crystal bracelets break. But what about the crystals themselves? If a crystal just breaks, it has had enough. Crystals absorb energy and when they’ve absorbed enough they can just break. 

If this happens, bury the crystal in the earth and move on to a new one. That energy isn’t serving you anymore. 

How To Clean Crystal Bracelets

Clean with a microfiber cloth. Use a microfiber cloth to wipe off any oils, dust or dirt that may accumulate while you’re wearing it. You can use a damp cloth, but don’t use any soap or cleaning chemicals. 

How To Store Crystal Bracelets

Keep out of direct sunlight when you’re not wearing it. It’s okay if your crystals get exposed to the sun while you’re wearing them. That’s not enough time to cause them to fade. 

When you store them, keep them out of direct sunlight. Some crystals, like rose quartz and amethyst, fade when left in the sun too long.

How To Cleanse Crystal Bracelets

To get the most energetic benefits from your crystal jewelry, put them in the moonlight every full moon. This will cleanse them of stuck energy and charge them. 

Other methods include

• Placing them in a selenite bowl in the evening before bed. Then they’ll be ready for you in the morning. 
• Place in the sun for a few hours. Not crystals that fade though. 
• Use cleansing smoke like sage or palo santo.
• Use singing bowls or play cleansing sounds.
