Metals have healing properities just like gemstones.
Silver relates to the Moon and has a calming, balancing
and relaxing influence. If someone is emotional
or very sensitive, they may want to wear some
silver to help balance their emotions and protect
them through the ups and downs of life.
I don't usually recommend a silver setting for Personal
Gemstones because we want to strengthen and empower
the healing aspects of the gems. Silver has a
cooling quality that cools down the healing aspects
of a gem. We want to empower them, so I recommend
gold settings. Having said that, we want to mix
the metals: use gold with a touch of silver. Mixing
the metals brings Moon (silver) and Sun (gold)
energy to the gemstone and empowers it even more.
So we use gold settings and I put a small amount
of silver, on the back of Personal Gemstone jewelry,
where no one can see it, to empower it even more.
Just a note, silver is being used more and more in
new technological advances and the price will
continue to rise over the next few years. As an
investment, you might want to consider buying
some form of silver each year, as a hedge against
inflation. If you are interested to find out more,
