Birthstone jewellery has long been cherished not only for its beauty but also for the unique energy and symbolism each stone is believed to carry.

This guide offers everything you need to know about the energies of birthstones and how to keep them vibrant and charged.

What Intentions Should Birthstone Jewellery Be Worn For?

Wearing birthstone jewellery can be an intentional act to invite certain energies into your life. For example, someone going through a period of emotional stress might wear an amethyst birthstone bracelet to promote calmness. Others might choose garnet or ruby to feel more energised and passionate about their goals. Setting a clear intention while wearing these pieces  such as confidence, love, focus, or healing  can amplify their impact.

What Should Be Done to Keep the Stones' Energy Alive?

Like anything in nature, stones can absorb both positive and negative energy. To keep your birthstone necklace or bracelet energetically active, it’s essential to cleanse them regularly. This not only removes stagnant energy but also revitalises the stone’s natural frequency. Simple rituals such as placing them under moonlight or smudging them with sage can make a noticeable difference in how they feel to wear.

How to Clean and Store Birthstone Jewellery?

Physical care is just as important as energetic care. Many birthstones are delicate and require specific attention. Always clean your jewellery with a soft cloth and avoid using harsh chemicals, especially on softer stones like opal, turquoise, or pearl.

When storing your birthstone jewellery, keep each piece in a soft pouch or a fabric-lined jewellery box to prevent scratching. If you have multiple pieces, especially bracelets, store them separately to avoid tangling or impact damage.

Salt, Moonlight, and Water: Proper Methods for Stone Cleaning

• Salt: Placing your birthstone jewellery in a bowl of sea salt (dry, not in water) overnight can help draw out negative energy.
  
  

• Moonlight: Leaving your jewellery on a windowsill during a full moon is a gentle yet powerful way to recharge it.
  
  

• Water: Some stones like aquamarine and garnet can be cleansed under running water, but always check whether your stone is water-safe. For example, never submerge porous stones like turquoise or opal.
  
  

What Should Be Considered When Caring for Silver Birthstone Jewellery?

Many of Potiega’s birthstone necklaces and bracelets are crafted in sterling silver, offering a timeless look and durable quality. However, silver naturally tarnishes over time, especially when exposed to moisture or chemicals.

To keep your silver birthstone jewellery looking its best:

• Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, and household cleaners.
  
  

• Remove jewellery before swimming or showering.
  
  

• Use a silver polishing cloth regularly to restore shine.
  
  

For those who want both elegance and personal meaning in their jewellery, Potiega’s birthstone collection combines handcrafted design with spiritual depth. With the right care and attention, your birthstone pieces will not only remain beautiful but continue to radiate the energy that makes them truly special.
