FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions About Natural Stone Products
Whether you are choosing a bracelet, necklace, keychain or natural stone souvenir for the first time, or you are simply wondering which stone is right for you today, these answers will give you clarity.

Choosing how to choose a stone/jewellery piece
How do I choose a stone if I do not know exactly what I need?
This is a completely normal question. Many people start without a clear intention, but with the feeling that they “need something” — more energy, motivation or support.
The best guide in this case is intuitive choice — the stone that attracts you visually or emotionally. Often, it reflects what you need in your current state, even if you are not consciously aware of it.
Should I choose by zodiac sign or by intuition?
More important than your zodiac sign is:
- how you feel with the stone
- whether it brings you a sense of calm, strength or balance
- whether you would enjoy wearing it
If you are unsure, you can start with versatile stones, which are suitable for almost everyone.
How to choose the right stone?
If I like a stone but it is not “my” stone, is that a problem?
No. There are no “forbidden” stones.
The stone that attracts you is often the one you need at that moment — regardless of zodiac sign, chakra or description. Your own feeling is more important than any chart.
Is one stone better, or a combination?
Both are valid choices.
Some stones complement and enhance one another, while others may feel less harmonious when combined.
- One stone — when you are looking for clarity, focus or minimalism
- A combination — when you want balance between different qualities (for example, calm + protection)
At Selena Fashion, we select combinations so that the stones complement one another rather than clash.
How do I choose jewellery as a gift without getting it wrong?
If the gift is for someone else:
- choose a stone with a symbolic meaning (calm, protection, love)
- avoid meanings that feel too intense or extreme
- choose a versatile design
Souvenirs and spiritual items orgonite • runes • pendulums • crystal trees
What souvenirs do we offer at Selena Fashion?
In addition to jewellery, you will also find a curated selection of souvenirs made with natural stones and carrying symbolic meaning — orgonite pyramids, crystal trees, runes and pendulums and much more.
They are ideal for a personal space, an intention ritual or a meaningful gift.
How do I choose an orgonite pyramid?
People often look for a specific purpose (business, love, chakra balancing, etc.), but the most important thing is your personal feeling. All orgonite products are made according to the principles of this type of item, and you can also consider where you will place it:
- for the home — choose a shape/colour that gives you a sense of calm
- for a desk/workspace — choose a more compact pyramid that fits the space well
- as a gift — versatile stones (quartz, amethyst) are a great choice
There is no “perfect” choice — the best one is the piece whose presence feels pleasant in your space.
All orgonite pyramids at Selena Fashion are made according to an established structure and the requirements for this type of item.
Each orgonite pyramid contains:
- natural crystals and stones
- metal shavings
- copper
- resin, which binds and stabilises the elements
The basic structure also includes a decorative element, which gives each pyramid a finished look and individual character.
The pyramids are selected both for their symbolism, and as a beautiful decorative accent for the home, office or personal space.
Where should I place an orgonite pyramid?
Customers most often choose to place orgonite pyramids:
- on a desk — as a visual focal point and presence in the workspace
- in the living room or another shared space
- next to a bedside table — as part of your personal environment
- in the a space for meditation, yoga or a personal ritual
Various traditions and schools of dowsing refer to the concept of geopathogenic zones, associated with the so-called Hartmann grid — a theoretical model describing areas of increased energetic activity.
In this context, the pyramid shape has long been regarded as a harmonising symbol. This is why many people choose orgonite pyramids for places where they spend more time — near the bed, on a desk or in a relaxation area.
If a particular spot does not feel right, simply move the pyramid — the choice often happens intuitively.
What are natural stone trees?
Crystal trees are decorative souvenirs with powerful symbolism — growth, stability and balance.
They are suitable for the home, office or as a gift — especially when you want something distinctive and memorable.
What are runes and who are they suitable for?
Runes are an ancient symbolic system, which many people use for intuitive practice, exploring meanings and personal questions.
At Selena Fashion you will find a rich and continually expanding collection of runes, made from natural stones and wood, with other carefully selected materials to be added in the future.
Choosing runes is usually intuitive — based on the materials and energy you feel drawn to at that moment.
A few examples from the available sets:
- Amethyst — for calm, clarity and inner balance
- White Agate — for stability and gentle grounding
- Rainbow Moonstone — for intuition and sensitivity
- Labradorite — for protection and inner transformation
- Lapis Lazuli — for truth, expression and wisdom
- Black Tourmaline — for protection and grounding
- Wooden runes — a classic choice, close to tradition
How do I choose a pendulum?
Choosing a pendulum is most often a combination of feeling and purpose. There is no “wrong” choice — what matters is that it feels comfortable to hold and use.
A quick guide by material:
- Amethyst — for calm and inner clarity
- Clear / White Quartz — a versatile choice for beginners and a “clear” focus
- Green Aventurine — for lightness, optimism and balance
- Carnelian — for energy, motivation and action
- Lapis Lazuli — for truth, intuition and deeper questions
- Tiger’s Eye — for confidence and steady focus
- Rose Quartz — for softness, emotional comfort and a gentle intention
- Black Tourmaline / Onyx — for grounding and protection
- Opalite — a light, aesthetically pleasing choice with a “moonlit” feel (often preferred by beginners)
For more technical work and dowsing, many people also prefer metal/copper pendulums — they are stable, durable and have a clear movement.
Do souvenirs need to be “cleansed” or “charged”?
It is not essential, but many people like to start with a “clean slate”, especially if the item is a gift or will be used in a personal practice.
The gentlest methods are:
- brief exposure to moonlight
- placing it on a dry crystal (quartz, amethyst)
- intention — a brief moment of focus and a clear wish
Are these souvenirs suitable as gifts?
Yes — they are among the most popular gifts because they are personal, symbolic and beautiful.
If you are not sure what to choose:
- a crystal tree (versatile and impressive)
- an orgonite pyramid with quartz/amethyst
- runes for someone who loves symbolism and traditions
Wearing and practice everyday wear, comfort, habits
Which wrist should I wear a bracelet on, and why?
Traditionally:
- left wrist — receiving, intuition
- right wrist — action, outward expression
But this is not a strict rule. Wear the bracelet on the wrist that feels more comfortable — your own feeling matters more than symbolism.
Can it be worn every day?
Yes, most jewellery and stones are suitable for everyday wear. However, we recommend removing them when:
- bathing or showering
- exercising
- using cleaning products
This will help preserve both the stones and the elastic/thread or metal elements for longer.
Can I wear several bracelets, necklaces or stones at the same time?
Yes, as long as you feel comfortable with them. Many people wear two or three pieces together — intuitively or as a combination of meanings.
If you feel tension or discomfort, simply reduce the number and keep the piece that feels lightest and most comfortable.
Does size matter beyond simply fitting me?
Yes — size matters not only for comfort, but also for how you will wear the jewellery.
Jewellery that is too tight can create tension and discomfort, while a piece that is too loose often moves around, gets knocked and is worn less often. When the size is right, the jewellery sits naturally and does not distract you during the day.
From a practical point of view, the right size:
- is worn more often
- does not irritate the skin
- does not catch easily
- helps preserve the shape and elastic/thread for longer
👉 That is why, when ordering, it is important to measure the circumference (wrist/ankle) and choose a size that is comfortable for everyday wear.
Can I sleep wearing a bracelet, necklace or anklet?
In principle, yes, but it is neither essential nor necessary.
Some people prefer to sleep wearing jewellery, especially if they associate it with an intention or a sense of calm. Others remove it to give both themselves and the jewellery a rest — and that is completely normal.
From a practical point of view, keep in mind that:
- jewellery may catch on something while you sleep
- elastic is put under greater strain, while a chain may become tangled
- turning in your sleep may make it uncomfortable
Many people intuitively remove their jewellery in the evening and put it on again in the morning — as a small personal ritual. Choose the option that brings you greater calm and comfort.
Sizes how to measure correctly
How do I determine my bracelet size?
Measure your wrist with a flexible measuring tape or a piece of string.
- +1 cm for a closer fit
- +1.5–2 cm for a looser fit
This will give you the most comfortable size.
See our detailed guide on how to measure correctly for a bracelet, ring or necklace.

How do I measure my ring size?
Wrap a piece of string around your finger, measure the length in millimetres and compare it with a size chart.
Tip: measure in the evening, when your fingers are slightly more swollen.

What bracelet size should I choose?
If you are between two sizes, choose the larger one.
Slightly loose is better than tight and uncomfortable.

How do I choose a necklace length?
The choice depends on how you want the necklace to sit.
- 35–40 cm — close around the neck (choker)
- 45 cm — classic length
- 50–60 cm — a longer, more relaxed drape
If you are unsure, 45 cm is the most versatile choice.
How do I measure for an anklet?
Wrap a measuring tape or piece of string around your ankle and measure the circumference.
- +1–1.5 cm — closer fit
- +2–2.5 cm — looser fit
Important: measure in the evening — the ankle may swell slightly during the day.
Does it work?don’t take our word for it — try it
What if I do not feel anything?
This is one of the most common concerns — and it is completely normal.
Stones do not work like a “button” that switches on immediately. For some people, the effect feels subtle and gradual; for others, it may be barely noticeable. Sometimes the presence of a stone or jewellery is simply a pleasant feeling or a reminder of an intention rather than a clearly defined experience.
Sometimes the “effect” is:
- a subtle feeling
- a change in mood
- a reminder of an intention
It is important to know that the absence of a strong sensation does not mean that your choice is wrong. For many people, a stone is more of a source of support than an active “tool”.
And sometimes it is simply a beautiful piece of jewellery that brings you joy. That is more than enough.
Is it possible that a stone simply does not “suit me”?
Yes, it is possible — and that is not a bad thing.
Sometimes a particular stone simply does not resonate with your current state or with the way you wear it. This does not mean that the stone is “bad” or generally unsuitable — it simply may not be the right one for you at this moment.
If you feel discomfort or do not want to wear it, the best approach is:
- take it off for a while
- wear it less often
- or choose another stone that attracts you more naturally
Your own feeling is the best guide.
How long does it take to feel an effect?
There is no universal timeframe.
Some people notice a feeling quickly, others after days or weeks, while for some it never appears as a clear “event”. Often, any change is more internal — in attitude, calmness or the attention you give yourself.
It is best to approach the experience without expecting a specific result and allow it to unfold naturally.
Can a stone affect me negatively?
When worn with awareness and common sense, stones should not have a negative effect.
In rare cases, people feel tension or discomfort — this is usually a sign that:
- the stone is not right for them at the moment
- they are wearing too many stones/jewellery pieces at once
- or their expectations are too strong
In that case, the best solution is simply to remove the jewellery and give yourself time. Stones do not replace personal work, self-care or professional advice — they are a complement, not a substitute.
Care and mindful use enjoy your jewellery for longer
Should jewellery and stones be cleansed?
It is recommended, especially if the jewellery:
- has been worn for a long time
- is a gift
- has passed through many hands
The safest methods of energetic cleansing are:
- brief exposure to moonlight
- placing it on a dry stone (quartz, amethyst)
- intention and mindful attention
These are gentle methods suitable for almost all natural stones and jewellery.
How can I clean my jewellery safely?
The safest approach is gentle and low-risk for the stone and the elastic/thread or metal elements.
Three safe options that work for almost all jewellery:
- Moonlight — leave the jewellery by a window overnight
- On a dry crystal — place it on a druzy/geode or quartz/amethyst for a few hours
- With intention and attention — hold the jewellery in your hands for a minute and set a clear thought (“I release what has accumulated and keep what serves me best”)
If you want to physically clean it (dust or cosmetic residue):
✅ wipe it with a soft dry cloth or a slightly damp one (without cleaning products), then dry it.
What should I NOT do with stones and jewellery?
To keep your jewellery beautiful and in good condition for longer, avoid:
- ❌ showering, swimming in a pool or the sea while wearing the jewellery (moisture, salt, chlorine)
- ❌ cleaning products and perfume directly on the stones
- ❌ prolonged exposure to strong sunlight (some stones may fade)
- ❌ sports and heavy manual work (impact, snagging, stretching)
- ❌ storing it loose in a bag with keys and metal objects
The best solution is simple: remove the jewellery around water and cleaning products and store it separately — in a pouch or box.
If it is a gift, should it be “reset”?
It is not essential, but it can be a lovely small gesture, especially if the jewellery has been touched, tried on, or you simply want to present it with a “clean slate”.
The easiest and safest option is:
- brief moonlight charging, or
- placing it on a quartz/amethyst for a few hours
You can then add an intention as well (silently or on a card):
Expectations and reality what, how, does it?
Does a stone replace personal work or intention?
No. Stones are not a substitute for personal work, self-awareness or conscious choices.
You can think of the jewellery/stone as support or a reminder, rather than a solution in itself. It can guide you, bring you back to your intention or help you stay more connected with yourself, but real change always comes from you.
When you wear a stone with a clear intention and without unrealistic expectations, it becomes part of a personal process rather than an external “tool”.
How do I know that this is “my” jewellery piece / souvenir?
Usually, it is not a powerful or dramatic moment.
More often, it feels like:
- a sense of ease when you wear it
- wanting to reach for it again
- a feeling that it simply “belongs”
Sometimes a piece of jewellery stays with you for a long time; other times, only for a particular period. Both are completely normal. There is no wrong choice, when the decision is made calmly and with attention to yourself.
Can stones help with health?
Many authors and traditions associate stones with various health benefits, but it is important for us to be clear and responsible — stones are not a medical treatment and they do not replace medical care.
They may be viewed as support or a personal symbol, but for health-related concerns we always recommend consulting a qualified professional, because taking health seriously is what matters most.
Jewellery and stones do not promise miracles. The miracle is you and your intention! They are personal symbols, which carry meaning when they are chosen and worn mindfully.
The most important rule is simple: trust your intuition, give yourself time and do not search for the “perfect” stone — it often appears when you least expect it.
