Let’s talk about crystal bracelets—the stretchy kind, the stackable kind, the ones we wear until the elastic gives up the ghost. You’ve probably noticed they’ve quietly taken the spotlight away from the humble crystal necklace. And honestly? I get it.

Bracelets are easy. You pop them on, no fiddly clasps, no worry about matching them to your neckline. Plus, they’re a fun way to carry crystal energy with you all day long—and let’s face it, they’re cute too.

Why Bracelets Are the New Fav's

Crystal bracelets have become super popular, not just because they’re convenient, but because they’re so versatile. You can wear one or stack a whole armful. They go with anything from activewear to your favourite going-out outfit. Whether you're into the energy side or love the look, there’s a bracelet for everyone.

And unlike necklaces that sit close to the heart chakra, bracelets hang out near your pulse points, making them a lovely way to stay connected to your chosen crystal's vibe in a subtle, wearable way.

The Truth About Wearing Crystals "Correctly"

Now, let’s get into a topic I really want to clear up: how to wear crystal bracelets.

You might’ve heard people say, “You must wear that on your left wrist” or “That one only works if it’s on the right side.” While these ideas come from various traditions, here’s my take: you do you.

Seriously, wear your bracelet on whatever wrist feels right to you. Your energy, your intention, your choice. Maybe today you wear your rose quartz on your left because you’re feeling soft and open. Maybe tomorrow it goes on the right for a boost of confidence. It’s personal. You’re not doing it “wrong.”

Let’s Not Assume

If you see someone rocking a bracelet—whether it’s obsidian, citrine, or some mystery bead—it’s easy to jump to conclusions. “Oh, they’re wearing that for protection,” or “They must be manifesting abundance.”

But here’s the thing: we all come to our crystals for different reasons. Someone might wear amethyst because it reminds them of their nan. Or maybe they just like purple. So, unless they invite you into that story, it’s best not to assume or correct them.

Looking After Your Stretchy Bracelets

Yes, elasticated crystal bracelets are lots of peoples Go-Tos of everyday wear—but they do need a little TLC.

• Take them off before you shower or swim. Water can weaken the elastic over time.

• Roll them on and off gently. Don’t stretch them over your hand like you're slingshotting a grape.

• Keep them out of direct sunlight. Some crystals (like amethyst or fluorite) can fade with too much sun.

• Cleanse them regularly. Just like you would with any crystal—smoke, moonlight, selenite plate, or a sound bath. But only of you have time. If you don’t, it's not the be all and end all of things.

• Safety First, Be sensible. If you’re using machinery, tools, or working in environments where things can catch or snag, it's best to take off your bracelet. The elastic can snap, and loose beads could become a choking hazard, especially around little ones or pets. Better safe than sorry!

And when the elastic eventually wears out (because it will), don’t chuck the beads! You can always restring it, turn it into something new, or even pop the stones in a little bag for your pocket or altar.

So there you go—bracelets are here to stay. They’re practical, they’re pretty, and they’re powerful in their own way. Most of all, they’re yours, so wear them with intention, pride, and a little bit of sparkle.
