The left hand or right hand? Let’s find out.

Mystic Lore

According to mystic lore, your left hand and right hand have different purposes. When deciding which hand to wear your gemstone & crystal jewelry depends on what you want the stones to do. I will explain the differences below.

Left Hand- Receiving Hand. Receives and absorbs positive energy into the body. Wearing a gemstone or crystal bracelet on this hand means you want to receive particular energies from the outside.

Example: If you want to attract love you can wear Rose Quartz on your left hand to absorb its benefits.

Gemstones and crystals used for calming and relaxing the mind should also be worn on the left hand. As well as energizing ones that heal.

Your left hand is associated with the subconscious, it is the pathway to your internal domains.

The energetic flow for your left side is toward you

Right Hand- The giving hand/Releases energy. Wear gemstone and crystal bracelets on this hand to release negative & toxic energies to the outside while protecting yourself from receiving any negative energy. Also wear when you want to manifest your intentions.

Example: If you want to release negative energy you can wear Black Tourmaline. It will release negative energy and protect you from negative energies.

The energetic direction for the right side is away from you.

Stones- the left VS right side

Rose Quartz;

Left side- if you absorb the energy of the stone.

Right side- radiate and manifest more love, kindness & compassion

Amethyst;

Left side- reduce emotional stresses

Right side- calming environment to benefit both yourself & others

Sunstone;

Left side- fulfill your needs and desires

Right side- channel healing & blessings

TIPS

If you decide that you want to change a bracelet you had on your left hand and now wear on the right it is recommended that you cleanse or smudge it before you do so

All sunstones / moonstones should be kept away from stones associated with the planets Saturn and Venus.

Try not to wear Carnelian & Amethyst together. Carnelian boosts energy, While Amethyst calms your energy. They will cancel each other out.

The Yin represents our left/ feminine side while the Yang represents your right/ masculine side.

I hope this guide helped you. Of course this is only a recommendation, you should always use your instincts to guide you as to what’s best for you. Keep in mind the more positive energy you bring into your life the less negative energy you have to release

Is your silver actually real? Three fast tests: 1) Magnet — real silver never sticks. 2) Hallmark — 925 means sterling, but stamps can be faked. 3) Ice — silver pulls heat faster than any metal. And the twist: if it slowly tarnishes black, that's proof it's real. Full guide with all seven tests on the blog — link below.

The secret to picking the right necklace? It's all in the symmetry.

Okay, so you're reading this because you have a gold necklace and you are not 100% sure if it's real

i have been there. most of us have been there.

here is how to know, in order of how fast you can do it:

🔍 STEP 1 — LOOK FOR THE STAMP

flip your chain over and look at the clasp look at the back of any pendant look anywhere hidden on the piece

you are looking for: 10K / 14K / 18K / 22K / 24K or the European equivalents: 417 / 585 / 750 / 916 / 999

🧲 STEP 2 — THE MAGNET TEST

get a strong neodymium magnet from amazon or the hardware store. NOT a fridge magnet — those are too weak.

hold it near your chain body and pendant separately.

✅ nothing happens = real gold is not magnetic. very good sign. ❌ the chain moves toward the magnet = base metal inside. not gold.

🌊 STEP 3 — THE WATER TEST

Fill a glass with water. Drop your necklace in.

✅ sinks fast and completely = gold is extremely dense (19.3 g/cm³). it sinks immediately. ✅ water stays crystal clear after 5 minutes = real gold has zero reaction with water. ❌ floats or sinks slowly = lighter base metal inside. ❌ water discolors at all = base metal reacting. not gold.

🤚 STEP 4 — THE SKIN TEST

wear it. That is the whole test.

✅ after 48 hours your skin looks completely normal = real gold. ❌ green marks where the necklace touched = copper base metal reacting with your sweat. ❌ black marks = silver-content metals oxidizing. ❌ redness or itching = nickel in cheap alloys.

🧪 STEP 5 — THE ACID TEST

if you want to be 100% certain, get a gold testing acid kit online. make a tiny scratch somewhere hidden. apply a drop of acid.

✅ no reaction = real gold at that karat. ❌ turns green = copper or base metal. not gold. ❌ dissolves or discolors = fake.
