What is magnetic jewelry? Generally, it is the term used for jewelry items that either contain or are made out of magnets. These magnetic materials may be either synthetic or natural magnets.
Natural stone magnets used in this type of jewelry include pieces of magnetite or magnetized hematite, but man-made magnets may be used as well. Much of the hematite, both magnetic and non-magnetic ends up being synthetic, while magnetite is naturally magnetic. This makes magnetite extremely difficult to demagnetize.

In the metal magnetic jewelry, you'll typically find man-made magnets mounted on the side closest to the skin. The natural stone magnets, on the other hand, are polished to a luster and cut to varying shapes, such as barrel, diamond cut, or hex.

One thing to note about the mounted magnets is that they can come loose over time. No matter the type of jewelry though, the purpose behind wearing it is to produce a magnetic field that provides therapy to the area of the body closest to where it is worn.

The popularity of magnetic jewelry is on the rise in the US. In the year 2000, it was reported that more than 120 million people worldwide use magnets. In many cultures and areas of the world, it has been custom to use magnets for healing purposes for many years.

Magnetic jewelry, like non-magnetic jewelry, comes in bracelets, necklaces, anklets, and earrings. Therefore, it can be used to relieve pain in various parts of the body. Don't expect, however, that a magnetic bracelet will relieve your back pain. It is not designed for that area of the body.
There are a number of theories on how magnetic jewelry works, and it is sometimes claimed to enhance blood flow by affecting charged ions in the blood. In any case, it is not intended to be sold as a medical device.

Many times, people will ask us how magnets heal. The answer, of course is that they do not heal. The magnets themselves do not actually heal anything, but allow the body to heal itself.
Magnets are known to have a positive effect on living tissue. In one study, plastic surgeon Dr. Daniel Man showed that static magnets could be used to speed wound healing. In China, magnets are regularly used to treat high blood pressure and heart disease.

Now widely accepted as an alternative method of pain relief with millions of users world wide, some call it pain relief without drugs. A medical doctor who researched magnets for many years said that it can be as effective as a shot of morphine.

Magnetic jewelry has been reported by users to have many benefits, including professional athletes and celebrities. Although not intended to be sold as a medical device, magnetic jewelry is becoming increasingly popular as an alternative therapy for aches and pains.
