Spiritual Meanings Of Jewelry Breaking:
It is about the end of a chapter
“To everything, there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.” — Ecclesiastes 3:1
When my jewelry breaks, it is a sign that something in my life has come full circle.
I am fully conscious of a shift within myself, while other times.
The jewelry I use the most becomes so infused with my energy that as it changes, some pieces no longer reflect what is inside me.
A broken piece of jewelry is always a mark for me that something has ended or I have to let go.
The breaking, be it of a relationship, job or some old pattern I used to think and run my life by, is the physical manifestation of all that inner work.
This is not a bad sign; it is just the way life rolls.
We are each reformed throughout life, our pasts put in boxes to be replaced by any future we may have!
And I realized again, that in accepting this and not fighting it — my journey is so much greater.
It is about energy overload
“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.” — Rumi
The energy from my surroundings — good and bad runs through every piece of jewelry I wear in the day.
This energy is even retained in stones, metals and crystals.
If I wear something during emotional times, it gets overpowered by the amount of energy (good and bad) that has been absorbed.
If that does happen, a crack will develop, and the jewelry has done its work — it can no longer serve me in this way.
Jewelry has always been a sort of amulet. It only breaks when I need a spirit cleanse similar to how my body excretes toxins.
It is a sign to my inner self that there are some emotional bits in me from the past, i have not broken and am carrying them till now.
The universe knows I have to unpack what carries me. 
It is a message in material form
“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience.” — Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
When a piece of my jewelry breaks, it is the universe telling me something directly.
The forced breakage helps me change and return to the correct path.
I must tune into my intuition to see this message.
I think about what I was thinking or feeling right before the jewelry broke and any major events of my life.
Sometimes, this breakage is alongside other things appearing — synchronicities, dreams or a stronger sense of intuition so I can understand what the universe is trying to say.
It allows me to see other ways and insights that I would not have seen before this divine communication.
It is about impermanence
“One must be deeply aware of the impermanence of the world.” ― Dōgen
I find that a lot of my emotional attachment comes from the people they belonged to or all the memories and accomplishments associated with those pieces.
Although it is easy to forget the fragility, a piece breaking can be gently doffing of one’s hat towards life.
Through my spiritual journey, one of the biggest lessons I learned was how to detach from material objects.
All things are transient.
Coming to terms with the impermanent nature of jewelry and, consequentially, life itself has been eye-opening for me.
The kind where it helps me to appreciate my things because of the meaning or beauty, but not hold that so much as an attachment.
Jewelry being broken becomes a spiritual test, an opportunity to dedicate so that it is maybe understood.
True value is not in the object but in what you experienced during or because of it.
It’s about old energies
“And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” — John 8:32
I am constantly learning more about myself.
Over time, broken jewelry has become synonymous with me as a symbol that I am transforming spiritually.
My energy vibration changes as I grow spiritually.
The jewelry that at one point in time vibed with my previous vibe no longer aligned with the new energy I was trying to get into.
This defiance of fragmenting any single figure represents this disconnect and that I am too large for what the previous energy conveyed.
It represented the outward manifestation of my inner transformation that I was on a higher plane of spiritual and emotional understanding.
It’s not always pleasant to shed old energies, but it is necessary for growth.
It is an opportunity to recreate
“Behold, I make all things new.” — Revelation 21:5
The breaking of my jewelry is an opportunity to make something new from the ashes.
It is a time in which I can turn everything around and recreate new intentions and fresh goals.
This may mean purchasing that embodies my current essence.
This is a chance to imbue some fresh purpose and direction in my life, remind myself that I have come far and prepare for the next stage of my spiritual evolution.
It is about spiritual safeguarding
“For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.” — Psalm 91:11
Sometimes, the breaking of my jewelry felt like a spiritual blessing.
I think jewelry — especially pieces that bear protective symbols or stones — absorbs negativity onto itself (think the evil eye) and blocks harm from reaching me.
It is a sign for me that when it hit and shattered, it had done its job — kept any harm from happening to us.
The breakage is not arbitrary, as a protection gesture.
The jewelry may have carried an energy that was too heavy and broke as a result.
It is about realignment
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” — Proverbs 3:5
At times, the universe will break the totems of my attachments and remind me about what really moves me into alignment with who I essentially am.
Jewelry is usually linked to special intentions, people and phases of life.
That might be an indication that in its breaking, my intentions or relationships are no longer congruent with the spiritual trajectory I am on.
This is a time to stop and look at my life.
For spiritual realignment, honesty is needed.
My jewelry breaking is what I need to go through as a trigger for this process.
