Description
IMPORTANT
When describing and designing my gemstone jewelery, I refer to the historic ‘meanings’ attributed to each stone, and the symbolism and stories that have evolved around each shiny rock throughout the course of human history, for example diamonds have come to represent eternal love, and are often used in engagement rings for this very reason.
Please be aware that the properties mentioned in this listing relate to folklore, and spiritual or traditional metaphysical beliefs, and are for entertainment purposes only. They are not intended as any sort of medical diagnosis or treatment, and should NEVER be used to replace the advice or treatment of your medical practitioner.
If you have concerns about your physical or mental health, please consult your doctor, dentist or hospital immediately.
My fascination with Aromatherapy began many years ago, when I studied Aromatherapy and Massage.
Unfortunately, fate intervened, and now my disability and lack of mobility mean that this option is no longer open to me…..
But, although I cannot continue as a massage therapist, I still create my oil blends for personal use.
To this end, I have combined the possibility of using essential oils alongside my gemstone jewellery, by using porous Lava Stone, to absorb essential oils and act as a wearable diffuser. Together, gemstones and Essential oils create a very powerful weapon to fight both physical and emotional issues.
(I include an explanation of the way that aromatherapy works at the end of this listing)
Research shows that certain essential oils can be beneficial for students, helping with studies by aiding focus, improving concentration, enhancing memory and encouraging clear thinking, as well as helping to retain and recall information.
Rosemary Essential Oil is generally regarded as the best oil to use for memory and concentration (As in the old saying Rosemary for Rememberance), and along with Rosemary, the oils of sage, eucalyptus and peppermint are all particularly high in a compound called 1,8-cineole–also known as “eucalyptol”. Research has proven that eucalyptol can significantly improve memory and performance on cognitive tasks!
Additionally, if you use a particular essential oil or blend when studying, all you will need in the exam room is a quick sniff of that same oil, and the memory of studying will come flooding back into your mind, which could help you to recall the actual information you learned.
These oils can be used singly, or in combination, and there are many proprietary essential oil blends widely available to aid concentration and enhance memory, or you might like to create your own unique blend, just as I have done, using oils that you find work best for you.
I recommend Rosemary, Lemon, Cypress and Peppermint as they can be helpful with retaining information, staying focused and alert.
For further information on creating your own blends, you can contact me or search a reputable aromatherapy website, but never ingest any oils, or apply undiluted to the skin without specialist advice.
Dab a few spots of essential oil/oil blend directly onto the lava beads and gently rub in. The stone will absorb the oil, and the warmth from your body will help to gently release its aroma, as you benefit from its emotional or physical healing benefits.
You will benefit from these properties as you go through the day, but any time you need an additional boost, just sniff the beads!
The scent can last on the beads anywhere from a few hours to a few days, and as it gradually fades, you can reapply oil as desired.
I will apply my own personal blend to the stones before posting, although the effect will possibly dissipate during transit.
Creating Your Bracelet
Each bracelet consists of semi precious gemstone beads that have traditionally been used to help increase clarity of mind, to aid concentration and to enhance learning and retention of information for any student, whatever age or field of study. The stones will be arranged with spacer beads defining each group of gemstones.
I generally use Swarovski types spacers, as the multi faceted nature of them reflects and augments the healing energy, although should you prefer, small silver plated or hematite spacers can be substituted, or omitted entirely, just let me know when you place your order.
Throughout the process of creating your bracelet, I will be in contact with you to check your exact requirement, I want you to be as happy with your bracelet as possible.
Your bracelet will be made using either non stretch beading thread, with a lobster claw or toggle closure. These bracelets are adjustable, but can be made to fit perfectly.
Alternatively it can be made using Memory Wire, which retains its shape rather like a bangle and is available in one size which fits most average female wrists.
Prices vary according to size, as larger bracelets require more gemstones.
The following sizes are available from the drop down menu:
Lady S: 6.5″
Lady M: 7″
Lady L: 7.5″
Lady XL: 8″
Male S: 7.5″
Male M: 8″
Male L: 8.5″
Male XL: 9″
To complete this gorgeous bracelet, I can add a charm that is meaningful to you.
You can choose a study related charm, such as a book, or maybe a traditional good luck charm, Simply let me know which option you prefer from the drop down menu.
The finished piece is presented in a delicate organza bag, with an information card and a leaflet giving a full description of the gemstone, explaining their meanings and properties and how to care for your jewellery.
Finally it is gift wrapped in tissue and ribbons, to keep the positive energy inside, just waiting for you to open!
Each stone has been charged with loving intent whilst the bracelet was created, and the finished item charged with Reiki.
So, your bracelet can soon be in your hands, encircling your wrist with beautiful gemstone beads, just as it metaphorically surrounds you with its wonderful energies!

Please Note: I do not stock ready made items that can be shipped immediately, as everything in my shop is hand made to order. When you purchase this item, you are commissioning a custom made, bespoke bracelet, created exactly to your requirements, so I can happily accommodate most requests or changes.
However, this does mean that your order can take up to 10-14 working days for me to design and create, even before shipping, so please be aware of this time scale when placing your order.
Additionally, your item enters my ‘work queue’ once payment has cleared. Unfortunately, payments made directly to Etsy take much longer to clear than Paypal or credit cards via Paypal, which are both instant. For this reason, I prefer Paypal, as your order can be put into my work schedule immediately.
*Safety & Jewellery Care*
Avoid wearing your bracelet when sleeping, exercising, bathing or showering.
How Do Essential Oils Work?
The sense of smell is very powerful indeed, and has been proven to balance emotions and moods, as well as having a profound emotional and physical effect, via the central and autonomic nervous systems.
Smells are especially powerful because they can trigger specific memories to cause emotional responses, and creating a positive association with a scent and then conditioning oneself to that scent can help to alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Essential oils can be used to alleviate symptoms of many conditions, and work in two ways, firstly the scent can work emotionally as described above, and secondly the natural composition of an individual oil has distinctive chemical properties, such as anti-inflammatory or cell rejuvenation etc. When applied to the skin, these active chemicals can be absorbed, just like in common medications, such as creams and patches.
Thus, these oils can enter the body through the skin, or through inhalation.
Different factors can affect the absorption of essential oils through the skin. If you massage or apply heat to the area first, it will increase circulation to that area, and cause an increase in absorption of essential oils. Some areas of skin (under arms, head, palms, soles of feet, etc.) are also more permeable than others.
It is recommended that most Essential Oils be diluted before being applied to the skin, using a carrier oil such as coconut or olive oil, added to a bath or as an ingredient in lotions and other beauty products. Another way that essential oils enter the body is inhalation through the nose or mouth. This can be via a diffuser, or steam inhalation.
During inhalation, molecules travel through the nose to the brain and can affect the heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress levels, and hormone balance. Molecules inhaled are also carried to the lungs and interact with the respiratory system.
Wearing the beads at the pulse points of the wrist means that the essential oil can quickly access the bloodstream, as well as enveloping you in its healing scent. So you can now look and smell fabulous, as well as hopefully feeling better!
Unlike some unscrupulous or often uninformed sellers, I will never use synthetic or imitation gemstones in my jewellery. Consequently, I am sometimes unable to source specific genuine gemstones (eg Malachite) at a price that will not impact greatly on the cost of your item. In these cases, rather than use synthetic or imitation stones, I use alternatives with similar properties.
Occasionally, a few very pale gemstones are colour enhanced, which does not affect their meanings and properties.
You can be assured that when you purchase gemstone jewellery from Magic Mixes, you will be receiving the genuine article!
*Please Note
The wearing of this healing jewelery is not intended to replace any medical advice of your doctor or dentist, and you should not stop any treatment unless advised by your medical practitioner.
Wearing this does not release you from responsibility for your own actions, eg Wearing an Exam and School Success bracelet won’t get you the grades if you don’t attend class or put in the work!
Avoid wearing your bracelet when sleeping, bathing or showering.
**Safety Information**
To avoid any unexpected allergic reaction, it is advisable to research and dilute test any oil you have not previously used, before applying it to exposed skin areas.
Do not use essential oils during pregnancy without consulting a qualified aromatherapist.
The Study Well Blend used on this bracelet was made with pure Essential Oils of Rosemary, Peppermint, Clary Sage and Lemon, diluted 50:50 in Grapeseed Carrier Oil.
