Gold or Silver?

Gold and silver metals do affect the natural healing properties of crystals and gemstones. This is why many people prefer to use loose stones for healing purposes. When choosing wire-wrapped stones or crystals set in jewelry you may wonder whether gold or silver is the better choice. Neither is better, but these metals do function differently.

Silver Enhances or Magnifies a Crystal's Properties

Silver tends to enhance or magnify the properties of the gemstones whereas gold gives the opposite effect.

Silver Reduces or Tames a Crystal's Properties

Gold tames overpowering energies housed within some stones. For anyone who is extremely sensitive to stone energies, gold is a better choice. Gold lowers the vibrational pulse of the stone so that the healing effects are subtle, offering the wearer a more comfortable transition from imbalance to balance.
