Metaphysical Properties of Emerald Jewelry

1.  Emerald jewelry clears the heart chakra.
2. Improves empathy, dampens self-judgment
3. Frees one up to love and think deeply.

Emerald jewelry's calming green hues make us think of the long-awaited relief that comes with spring after a barren winter. It's a heart chakra stone, so it's always ready to clear the hold-ups caging your heart and ensure love and self-care flow freely.

A closed or unbalanced heart chakra can lead to a timid approach to people, a lack of empathy and compassion, harsh self-judgment, and trust and forgiveness issues. With an open heart chakra comes the freedom to love deeply, make the right choices, and practice self-care. This opens the gateway to divine love and universal blessings and releases mortal fears.
