It depends on what’s on your mind right now. Amethyst is linked with calm, rose quartz with love, obsidian with protection and tiger eye with luck and money. Those links come from what each stone has traditionally stood for.
If none of those feels right, or they all do, your birthday can narrow it down. We read your five-element birth chart, then match you to a bracelet and tell you why each stone is in it.
What crystal do I need right now? A one-question quiz
Which of these sounds most like you today? Tap one to see where to start.
My mind won’t slow down
Start with amethyst. Amethyst is linked with calm and intuition. Wear it as a bracelet, or keep a small cluster on a desk or bedside table where you’ll see it.
Love and relationships are on my mind
Start with rose quartz. Rose quartz is the stone most often linked with love, including being kind to yourself. Its soft pink is easy to pair with what you already wear.
I want to feel more protected
Start with obsidian. Silver sheen obsidian is chosen for protection and grounding. It gives you a black base with a silvery detail that goes with almost anything dark.
Money and work are on my mind
Start with tiger eye. Tiger eye has traditional meanings of courage, prosperity and new opportunity. Its warm bands look good with denim, cream and earthy colors.
I’m starting something new
Start with clear quartz. Clear quartz is associated with clarity and fresh beginnings, and it pairs easily with other colors.
None of these, or all of them
Let your birthday choose. When several things are on your mind, a birth chart gives you one place to start.

Her five-element birth chart comes out at Earth 38%, Wood 28%, Fire 14%, Metal 10% and Water 10%. In her chart, Fire stands for her voice and her talent, and it’s the element she needs most, so every bead in her bracelet is a Fire stone.
Her match is our All Fire bracelet: rose quartz, strawberry quartz and amethyst.

Common questions
What crystal should I wear today?
Choose by what your day looks like: amethyst for a day you want to stay calm, rose quartz for a day with people you love, tiger eye for a workday or a big decision. If you only want one stone for every day, choose the color you already wear most.
What crystal do I need for anxiety?
A crystal isn’t a treatment, so if anxiety is getting in the way of your days, please talk to a doctor or therapist. If you’d like something to wear or hold as a small reminder to slow down, amethyst is linked with calm.
What’s the best crystal for beginners?
Amethyst, rose quartz and clear quartz are common first stones. Pick the color you like, then decide whether you’d rather wear it or keep it on your desk. Browse our stones.
Which wrist should I wear a crystal bracelet on?
Many people who wear crystals think of the left wrist as the side for receiving, such as love, abundance or calm, and the right as the side for expressing or releasing, often chosen for protection. Choose the meaning you enjoy and a side that feels comfortable with your watch and sleeves. See which stones go on which wrist.

No. You can choose a finished bracelet and order it directly. The chart is there for when you’d like us to pick for you.
