Why Jewelry WITH crystals are Worn by Celebrities and So Many Others
Who wears this kind of jewelry? Everyone!
You certainly don’t need to be one of the famous Hollywood stars to enjoy the benefits of this jewelry — but on the red carpet, you’ll find no shortage of celebrities that have a reputation for loving crystal jewelry. From stars like Beyonce to Heidi Klum, to Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe, these sparkling and radiant crystal jewels have become synonymous with stardom.
But this jewelry isn’t just about beauty. You’ll find that many well-known stars use crystals for positive energy, good luck, a spirit of calm and healing.

Stars like Debra Messing and Julianne Hough swear by the meditative and peaceful benefits of wearing jewelry with crystals.

Busy Philips always wears a crystal necklace and Adele revealed that wearing such a jewelry collection helped her overcome her stage nerves.

This jewelry collection even shines in business ventures. Kim Kardashian-West has embodied crystals in her perfume line, KKW Fragrance, and Bella Hadid incorporated them into her 2018 pre-fall jewelry collection.
New to Crystal Healing? Let Us Help You Find the Right Jewelry
If you’re just starting to explore the exciting world of crystal jewelry or you’ve been wearing this jewelry for years and never realized how many benefits that each item offers (besides their matchless and distinct beauty), then here’s what you need to know.

What Exactly is Crystal Jewelry?
Before we discuss the jewelry options (necklace, ring, bracelet, etc.) let’s start with the basics of crystals.
Crystals are natural stones, but they’re not just minerals, and they’re not just rocks.
Crystals cover a wide range of natural substances including table salt, snow, diamonds, and graphite (the lead inside your common pencil). But, the crystals like your favorite stars wear in jewelry are formed either by pressurized, molten minerals that are quickly cooled or when the liquid evaporates from a natural substance – and remaining components crystallize.
Crystal Sizes, Colors, Shapes & Jewelry Options
Beautifully colored, fancy crystals come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, and each crystal (and indeed each piece of jewelry) will have different characteristics.
The name of each crystal is based on what the crystal is composed of. This applies to high-end crystals such as diamonds and rubies, as well as energy healing crystals such as Apatite, Amazonite, Opal, Black Tourmaline, Rose Quartz, and Tiger’s Eye.
How is a Crystal Formed Before It’s Used in Jewelry?
Most crystals used in pieces of jewelry (ring, necklace pendant, bracelet, etc.) are formed in water, and some are formed deep within the earth. Ancient (raw) crystals have been hidden in the Earth’s crust or sea beds for millions of years. But, no matter how old or young it is, a raw crystal is derived from a combination of water and other natural elements like carbon, calcium, or silica.
Over time, the combination of temperature, pressure, and other mechanisms of crystallization or solidification, will cause crystals to form with distinct patterns and color ranges.
SOME DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CRYSTAL AND OTHER JEWELRY STYLES
Crystal vs. Diamond vs. Sterling Silver vs. Gold Plated?
If you’re wondering why a piece of crystal jewelry is not as costly as a diamond, it all comes down to availability and clarity.
Diamonds are rare and extremely clear, while crystals and silver or gold tone jewelry are more common. Still, the beauty of a crystal is unlike a diamond, which is typically rated for its clarity, brilliance, and sparkle. A crystal can have so many different styles and its uniqueness is graded on several factors:

Crystal shape

Crystal size

Patterns on the crystal

Texture of the crystal

Crystal color (or colors)
Another key factor is how the crystal is incorporated into the jewelry. For example, the style of the pendant can also have an impact on the “value” of the jewelry. But this is another important difference between crystal and diamond jewelry (as well as gold, sterling silver, and so on): diamond jewelry and gold-tone jewelry are often defined by their monetary value, whereas the value of a crystal bracelet or pendant, for example, is based on its healing or energy properties.
The Difference Between Quartz, Crystal Jewelry, and Gemstones


A common question people have is whether there is a difference between gemstones and crystals since they both come in varied colors and shapes. Sometimes the terms “crystal” and “gemstone” are used interchangeably, especially when it comes to their use in jewelry. However, there are some technical differences between the two.
- The first and most obvious difference is that gemstones are used for one application – to adorn necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and pendant jewelry. Wearing crystals will fill this bill, but a crystal is also seen as an alternative or holistic approach to well-being. Crystals like Opal and Amazonite are used in jewelry, for healing, and in watchmaking, construction, and manufacturing (industrial saws and oil well drills).
-
Another difference is the age of the item. Minerals are the oldest of these substances, followed by the evolution of crystals, then gemstones follow as the youngest. It’s not a simple matter to explain the difference between crystals and gems in scientific terms. But, gemstones are high-value rock or mineral used primarily for adornment or investment purposes as a commodity. Crystals are also minerals, but they are formed in a very specific environment and under very specific conditions. And these conditions must be perfect or else the crystal isn’t going to form.
Healing & Spiritual Properties of a Crystal IN A NECKLACE PENDANT AND OTHER pieces of jewelry
Crystals are Ancient Forms of Healing
A crystal has a spiritual component that is similar to Hindu and Buddhism philosophies. And much of the healing and spiritual properties revolve around the mystical way we humans are drawn to the color and beauty of crystals.
Each type of crystal is associated with specific benefits. This may be the flow of good energy, physical healing, soul cleansing, or mental clarity and peace. Many people tout the emotional benefits of wearing crystal jewelry as bringing peace and balance.
Many others have testified that while holding a certain crystal they have experienced a tingling sensation in the body or a feeling of warmth overcomes them. Many others sincerely believe that the crystal necklace they wear shields them from negative energy and spirits while attracting positive situations and relationships. Whatever holistic healing you desire, there is a crystal or quartz that is known for supplying it.

Benefits of a Crystal Necklace Pendant, Bracelet, and Other Pieces of Jewelry – Beyond Healing & Energy

Sure, you can add some glitz with a gold-tone plated or rhodium plated setting, or a gold plated chain, etc. — though it’s not really necessary like that amazonite, rhodium plated, or gold except for style preferences. The beauty and healing benefits of the crystal or quartz will shine no matter what.
Need some ideas on how to wear a quartz, crystal pendant, or any accessory?
- Go long with your crystal pendant necklace like how you usually wear your gold necklaces, rings, and earrings for evening wear or to coordinate with special outfits.
- When casual, a collection of bright, sparkling crystal bracelets will liven up denim and other informal outfits. Unlike gold, the multicolor nature of a collection of crystals lends itself beautifully to any outfit, whether a little black dress or muted and conservative office wear.
TUMBLED CRYSTAL POUCHES AND BEADS FOR JEWELRY AND OTHER USES
Finally, many people choose to purchase a crystal pouch of unmounted, natural healing crystals to create their own custom-designed jewelry pieces – or simply for carrying or keeping in their home.
For ring mounting, there are several popular crystal colors, especially Turquoise, Jade, and Tiger’s Eye. According to the International Gem Society, Rose Quartz, Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, Moonstone, Amber, Citrine, and Aquamarine, Amazonite, Opal are some of the most popular crystals used for adornment. You can find a wide range of options

How to Choose a Quartz or Crystal Necklace
If you’re looking specifically for a crystal necklace or pendant, or if you’re planning for the perfect jewelry gift, there are several considerations to make.
Crystals are so popular, that you will find a wide variety of necklace options to fit your personal tastes and healing balance (including amazonite)
First, consider the individual properties of each crystal, and how the crystal can benefit your goals and lifestyle. Next, several personal preferences should be considered as you compare crystal necklace options.
Which crystal is right for you? Consider these questions as a starting point:
- Is there a preference for raw and natural stone or brightly shining crystal?
- Are you looking for a crystal necklace to speed up the healing of a cold or achy back?
- Do you have emotional energies that need healing, such as a broken heart?
- Have you considered a crystal that represents your birthday or other special months?
- Do you tend to feel especially connected to certain colors?
BIRTHSTONE JEWELRY FOR A PENDANT, CHARM BRACELET, RING, OR LIKE OTHER GOLD-PLATED JEWELRY
If you are looking for a personal attachment to your crystal necklace, charm bracelet, ring, or other gold jewelry, birthstones are a great choice. And what better birthday gifts are there than a birthstone necklace, ring, bracelet, etc.? Here are the crystals and gemstones connected with each month of the year.

Tips for Building Your Crystal or Quartz Jewelry Collection
Many people, especially women, choose the type of crystal for their necklace or pendant by looking at the health benefits to the wearer. At Crystalis, we have a massive collection and we offer a comprehensive A-Z listing of crystal and stones properties, which outlines all the mental, emotional, and physical health benefits of each type of crystal.
For body cleansing, an Amber charm necklace would be a good choice, while if you suffer from pain and inflammation, a Citrine crystal necklace is even better.
What about Amethyst, Quartz, Agate, Carnelian, or Moonstone Jewelry?
You can also find your dream crystal necklace by looking closely at the mental health benefits.
You will discover powerful crystals that possess the ability to balance emotions and clarity of thought. Clear quartz crystal, agate, carnelian, and Moonstone crystal all fit these criteria.
If you want to balance your energy centers, a multi-colored crystal with a silver necklace chain is a good choice. If your intention is clearing the third eye of your chakra center, then a purple, amethyst crystal is a beautiful option for a pendant.
Selecting the Right Pendant for a Necklace
You may also want to factor in the shape of your face when choosing a crystal pendant or necklace. If you have an oval-shaped face, you can wear just about any length of crystal necklace. A longer jawline is enhanced with a shorter necklace – between 16 and 18 inches. While heart-shaped faces are accented well with a silver or gold choker or other short necklace style.
Of course, you will want a variety of crystal colors and jewelry styles to coordinate with different outfits and seasons. During colder months when necks are covered, a pendant with a large crystal can make the perfect statement piece. Any outfit that has a scoop neckline would be perfect for a shorter crystal necklace. An 18-inch silver chain is the most versatile choice for a crystal necklace. They tend to go well with any outfit and fit any body type – making it one of the perfect gifts to give to your loved ones.
Quartz or crystal necklace & Bracelet Styles for Energy, Protection, & Healing
Finally, you want to consider the necklace style. You can place crystals on long 24-inch and longer silver chains or they can be worn closer to the neck, similar to a choker. In general, women with a fuller upper body tend to choose a shorter-length necklace that sits higher up on the neckline between 18 and 22 inches. Smaller women enjoy lengths between 28 and 36 inches for their crystal necklace.
The goal is to choose your own sacred crystal and mount them in jewelry styles that fit your wardrobe needs. Don’t forget to consider a crystal ring and other pieces of jewelry as perfect holiday gifts. Especially a crystal bracelet for either males or females. People wear healing bracelets while meditating or anytime they must face difficult life choices. A colorful crystal bracelet is also a great way to layer your existing gold or silver bangles or create a colorful ensemble of different crystal bracelets to brighten up any black or white outfit. Also, check out Amazonite and Opal to maximize your style choices.
