My blog is taking a lot of traffic from people searching “Dina’s bracelets” so I’d like to offer everything I know on the subject. Dina Manzo from Bravo’s Real Housewives of New Jersey wears gemstone bracelets. Natural gemstones are of the Earth and are said to carry spiritual meaning, like crystals. It is an ancient idea, in fact, most of our beliefs about gemstones can be traced back to 4500 BCE Egypt. The traditions moved through Greece and spread around the world with the times, and all along, gems and crystals were revered for their decorative, healing, and protective properties.
When you see Dina wearing the bracelets, she’s wearing different gemstones for their different attributes. Let me be clear that I do not make the actual bracelets Dina wears, but I offer something similar at a more affordable price. I’ll get to that later. Dina buys her spiritual stone bracelets (or power bracelets, as they’re often searched) from a jewelry store called Zen Jewelz (Zen Jen had a sit down with Dina on the show). The last I checked, prices started at $95 and up. Not only does Zen Jen sell the bracelets, she does a house call with Dina where she “smudges” them.
Smudging is a Native American tradition that involves burning white sage. The white sage is said to release any negative energy on the material (object, person, or room), which is released and recycled back to positive. The white sage smudge then brings forth the positive ions and activates them–bringing alive the material’s best ideals.
So, why do I know all of this? Well, because my store is called the Energy Shop, where I also make, smudge, and sell spiritual stones. I love and believe in all of this very much. I love what I do. I charge each individual stone with its meaning as I’m stringing it, I smudge it when I’m done, and I hand-wrap it with love before it leaves my shop. My bracelets are more affordable, starting at $10 and up.
Last but not least, I want to address the bracelet that Dina and Jacqueline refer to as the “fertility bracelet” that Jacqueline was wearing when she got pregnant. As viewers, we’ve never seen this bracelet, but Zen Jen writes that she used Rose Quartz. Actually, there are several gemstones that are used for fertility purposes, and what is most important is that the gemstones are charged with this meaning. For instance, Rose Quartz can be charged to attract love and infinite peace, but not fertility. The wearer could choose to program the bracelet for fertility, and this would be helpful to her, but I believe it’s more powerful when the stones were created, and THEN programmed, with that meaning.
I currently have a Fertility Bracelet in Rose Quartz at my shop. If you would like another gemstone custom-made for fertility reasons, simply visit my shop and click “Request Custom Item” on the right-hand side of the main page. I would be happy to accommodate your individual needs as I often create bracelets to fit the specific desires of my customers.
