Six great strides have been made in the understanding of therapeutic-quality gemstone necklaces since the 1980’s when I first researched information on them. These advancements were so significant that I just had to make these necklaces available. And so, GEMFormulas therapeutic necklaces were born.
GEMFormulas necklaces reflect these 6 advancements. We are starting small, and will be releasing one or two necklaces at a time.
One of the major steps forward in necklace therapy is the recognition that a gemstone rarely works its best when strung by itself. Gemstones work better when combined with other gemstones. Every gemstone has at least one synergistic partner that will enhance, support, or catalyze its beneficial effects.
Gems enhance by adding to another gemstone’s effects, creating a better overall healthful value to the wearer.
Gems support by strengthening another gemstone’s effects, making these effects more definite and focused.
Gems act as a catalyst by paving the way for another gemstone’s work and making it easier for its beneficial effects to be realized, felt, or perceived.
To get the maximum benefit from gemstone necklace therapy, a gemstone should be strung with another type of gemstone that enhances, supports, or catalyzes its effects.
GEMFormulas' necklaces include symbiotic gemstones.
Every GEMFormulas' necklace, whether it is comprised of precious or semi-precious gemstones, will include at least one other symbiotic gemstone.

2. All Necklaces Should have Clasps
A second leap in this new understanding involves the manner in which semi-precious gemstone necklaces are strung. When a therapeutic-quality gemstone necklace is worn, the gemstones help the body release unwanted energy. Any of this energy that is not dispersed collects in, on, or around the gemstones. If they are not adequately cleansed, this energy can build up until the necklace “pops,” and the thread breaks, thus releasing the unwanted energy. Therefore, every therapeutic-quality necklace should be strung with a clasp. Until now, this was cost-prohibitive for the semi-precious gemstones. The clasp could very easily cost more than the gems themselves and drive up the price.

GEMFormulas has solved this problem with a unique type of wood button clasp that is used on all GEMFormulas semi-precious gemstone necklaces. Although this special clasp takes more work to string than a necklace without a clasp or with a conventional clasp, it is not as costly as a gold clasp. Moreover, the GEMFormulas' button clasps are made of wood, which will bring tree energy and the wood element (of Chinese Medicine) to the necklace.
I am delighted to be able to incorporate tree energy into gemstone necklaces. Tree energy comes up a great deal in the Remote Diamond and Gemstone Therapy sessions that I do, and now it can be available in GEMFormula semi-precious necklaces as well.
GEMFormulas' necklaces made of precious gems may be strung with a wood button clasp, or with a white or yellow 14 karat gold clasp. Button clasps may be preferred if you plan on mounting the necklace on a therapy rod and performing gemstone therapy in the aura. If you plan just on wearing the necklace, then you may prefer a gold clasp. In some cases sterling silver clasps can be used.

3. Clasp Shape Should Move Energy
The third innovation also involves clasps. The shape of a gold or silver clasp will affect the flow of energy moving around the gemstone spheres. Ideally the clasp’s shape should not interfere with the circuit.
Square- and rectangular-shaped box clasps stop the energy movement because the square shape has a grounding influence. Round clasps (such as round buttons) and oval-shaped clasps (such as some lobster clasps) keep the energy moving nicely. Infinity clasps are superior. They are shaped like a figure 8, or an infinity symbol. Energy moves the best with an infinity clasp, although to date they are available only in 14K yellow gold and sterling silver.
GEMFormulas' necklaces have clasps that support energy flow.
GEMFormulas' clasps allow energy to flow from one side of the necklace to the other. This is very important to keep the circuit of energy moving around the necklace.
When a necklace calls for 14K yellow gold, we’ll use 14K yellow infinity clasps. Until infinity clasps are available in white gold, we’ll use 14K white oval lobster clasps.
4. Precious Gemstone Design Necklace Sizes Can Vary
The fourth breakthrough in this field involves design necklaces. We have learned that, although the pattern of gems and the numerology shouldn’t change, the size of the gems used can. A design necklace can have the same kinds of benefits whether it is made of 6mm or 8mm gemstones (or any other size). Of course, the strength of a larger necklace will be greater, but not everyone needs that. Those who do require larger gemstones should have the option to enjoy larger necklaces. Those who feel more comfortable with a lighter-weight, lower-cost necklace should have that option as well, if such gemstones are available.
GEMFormula designs vary in size.
GEMFormulas' designs will be offered in whichever size gemstones are available. We feel this is harmonious with the size of the source crystals the Earth is providing at any given time. In most cases, prices will reflect the carat weight of the gems used in each necklace.
Therapeutic Necklace Designs May Be Asymmetrical
A fifth advance involves symmetry. Therapeutic-quality necklace designs do not always have to be symmetrical—although asymmetrical necklaces must be that way for a definite reason. Asymmetry usually occurs when only one bead (or one set of beads) of a symbiotic gemstone is required in a necklace.
GEMFormulas necklaces will be asymmetrical when necessary.
A perfect example is the GEMFormulas' Ruby-Onyx necklace. Only one Ruby is needed to catalyze the effects of Onyx. We could put the Ruby in the very center of the necklace, but when the Ruby is placed on a diagonal to the side, it encourages the movement of the wearer’s personal whole-body vortex. Your personal vortex is essential for maintaining the electrical current that vitalizes your cells, organs, chakras, and body as a whole.
Your whole-body vortex enwraps your body like a living cocoon of moving energy and defines your personal boundary. This boundary is not static, but its energies move either clockwise around you or counter-clockwise. If they move clockwise, they’re moving from left to right across your body. If they move counter-clockwise, they’re moving from right to left.
Because the Ruby-Onyx necklace is asymmetrical, you can wear it with the Ruby either to your left or your right. To support a clockwise whole-body vortex, wear the Ruby-Onyx necklace so that the Ruby lies on the right. To support a counter-clockwise vortex, wear the necklace so that the Ruby lies on your left.
GEMFormulas Stringing Method is Vegan
Our newest innovation involves the thread on which the gemstones are strung. In the beginning, silk was the thread of choice because it is a natural fiber. The downside is that silk stretches and breaks easily. However, when a necklace is strung without a clasp, this breakability is a bonus.
If an unclasped necklace has collected enough unwanted energy, it should be able to pop in order to release the energy. If nylon was used, the necklace could not break to allow this energy to escape, and then it would accumulate and negatively affect the wearer. Necklaces without clasps should never be strung with nylon!
Nylon stretches only minimally and is much stronger. It carries none of the unfortunate baggage that comes with the production of silk, which requires killing the silkworms to harvest the silk from their cocoons.
GEMFormulas' necklaces are strung with nylon.
We are happy to announce that as of December 2010, we are stringing all our necklaces with nylon. Because all our necklaces have a clasp, any excess energy that accumulates on the necklace during use can dissipate when the clasp is opened.
Necklaces should be stored with their clasps open, and in a circle or spiral shape.
