Clearing Jewellery

ree


Jewellery is never just decoration. Whether it’s your grandmother’s brooch, a sparkly necklace bought on holiday, your favourite earrings, or a second-hand ring you rescued from a bric-a-brac shop—every piece absorbs energy.


Jewellery sits directly on the skin, over meridians, chakras, lymph, and organs. It travels through life with you, collecting emotional imprints, atmospheres, memories, stresses, and stories—yours and other people’s.


And just like we cleanse our energy field, our home, and our stones, we must also cleanse our jewellery.


Because jewellery can become energetically tired, overfull, and even “leak” stagnant energy back into your field—and that can create real mischief.


Jewellery can absorb external energies and get “tired”. This is especially true for:

  • Metals (excellent conductors)

  • Crystals (energetic memory banks)

  • Second-hand or inherited jewellery

  • Jewellery worn during stress, grief, illness, conflict, or fatigue


If jewellery absorbs too much negativity, it can “overflow” and begin to affect the energy of the place it sits on your body.


This is important when you consider where most jewellery rests:

NECKLACES

Sit over the:

  • Throat

  • Thyroid

  • Lungs

  • Thymus

  • Heart

Stagnant energy here can affect your voice, mood, breath, immunity, and emotional expression.

BRACELETS

Affect the:

  • Wrist joints

  • Fingers

  • Elbows

  • Heart & Lung meridians passing through the wrist

Heavy energy here can influence emotional flow, circulation, and boundaries.

BROOCHES

Lie over the:

  • Lungs

  • Heart

  • High Heart (sacred grief and compassion centre)

This area is highly sensitive to emotional residue.

EARRINGS

Touch:

  • Ears

  • TMJ

  • Neck

  • Head

  • Gallbladder & Triple Warmer meridians

These points are linked with decision-making, stress responses, and emotional clarity.

RINGS

Each finger sits on a meridian pathway:

  • Thumb → Lung (grief, breath, vitality)

  • Index → Large Intestine (letting go, boundaries)

  • Middle → Circulation Sex (hormones, flow, creative expression)

  • Ring → Triple Warmer (stress, immunity, fight–flight) - this is our 'wedding' finger.

  • Little → Heart & Small Intestine (joy, clarity, emotional sorting)


How to Tell if Jewellery Needs Clearing

A simple Energy Medicine test works wonders.

  1. Hold the piece of jewellery in your hand.

  2. Have a friend muscle test you—or self-test if you prefer.

  3. If you go weak while holding the piece or focusing on it, it needs clearing.


This does not mean the jewellery is “bad”.

It simply means it has absorbed too much energy—from you, from life, or from others.

This is normal.

This is natural.

And this is fixable.

How to Cleanse and Clear Jewellery Energetically

Here are the most effective methods. Use one—or combine several for a deeper cleanse.


1. Water, Sun & Moon

Hold jewellery under running water:

  • a waterfall

  • a river

  • the ocean

  • or simply under the kitchen tap

Keep your intention clear:

“Any negativity, stagnation, or old, tired energy is washed away.”

Water clears memory.

Sun recharges.

Moonlight resets the emotional field.


You can also place the jewellery on a windowsill or garden table to receive both sunlight and moonlight for a full 24-hour cycle.


Under a full moon is especially potent—soothing, yin, deeply cleansing.


2. Salt Water (With Caution)

Some pieces can be soaked in salt water for a few hours or overnight.

Salt pulls out old energy like a magnet.

However:

  • Do NOT use salt water for soft stones, porous crystals, pearls, opals, or plated metals.

  • If in doubt—skip the salt.

3. Smudging or Essential Oil Clearing

Pass the jewellery through the smoke of:

  • sage

  • palo santo

  • rosemary

  • mugwort

  • incense

Or lightly mist with diluted juniper essential oil, one of the best clearing oils on the planet.

Smoke dissolves density. Juniper cuts through stagnation with precision.

4. Sunlight & Moonlight Charging

Place jewellery where it will receive:

  • Full sunlight (for vitality, clarity, yang energy)

  • Full moonlight (for emotional cleansing, intuition, yin energy)

A full 24 hours creates a complete energetic reset.

5. Intention, Prayer & Figure-8s

Once cleansed, hold the piece and say a short blessing—whatever resonates:

“You are cleared, you carry love, balance, and protection.”

Then make figure 8s over the piece.

This seals the energetic field, stabilises the frequency, and harmonises the vibration.

This step transforms jewellery from “clean” into “aligned”.

When is Jewellery Ready to Wear Again?

When it:

  • Tests strong

  • Feels lighter

  • Looks brighter

  • Warms quickly to your skin

  • Feels like “you” again

Then—and only then—is it ready to join your precious energy field.


Your jewellery is part of your aura.

It sits on your meridians.

It influences your organs.

It holds your history—and sometimes, the history of those who wore it before.


When you cleanse it, you protect your energy.

When you bless it, you align it with your purpose.

When you wear it clean, it becomes a talisman—not a burden.
