Yes, Wearing Your Birthstone Can Help With Luck and Manifestation

Good looks and good vibes? Count us in.

Birthstones. Not only are they beautiful in color, size, and shape, but each one holds special properties and meanings. While anyone can wear any type of stone simply because they like it, wearing the one that's assigned to your birth month can be extra powerful. Your specific birthstone has the ability to enhance your aura and energy levels, and also helps with manifestation, similar to the way color magic works.

These gems and minerals are tailored to you by the nature of your personality and also echo your own energy. Birthstones can help even out your mood, balance emotions, and amplify your positives. It’s really the first crystal you should get, especially if you're looking to attract good vibes into your life.
