Who am I and why am I making Magnetic Therapy Jewelry?

My name is Karin Wells and I am a portrait painter ~ not a jewelry maker. But right now, I am doing both.

In the Spring of 2014, I suddenly began to feel terrible pain in my knees and the arthritic symptoms quickly began to spread to my hands making it difficult for me to hold a brush. I lost strength in my hands. Each day, the pain increased as my joints became swollen and inflamed and hurt to touch.


This is a portrait I painted of Granny D. She was a firebrand who, at the age of 90, walked coast to coast  for Campaign Finance Reform. I experienced some discomfort in my hands when I was painting her, but at the time, I didn't know what to do about it other than take Ibuprofen to reduce the inflammation.

I was taking a lot of Ibuprofen to reduce the pain but it began to hurt my stomach. Depressingly, it felt as if my body had declared war on me.

In August, my husband Peter and I took a vacation. It was on that trip that the ball of my right foot became inflamed, swollen and deformed as it became increasingly difficult and painful to walk. 

I was beginning to think that my “normal” life was over and wondered how long I could continue ordinary activities like climbing stairs and walking short distances ....not to mention my ability to control a paint brush.



It was there that I met two people selling magnetic jewelry. They both had a story to tell that was similar to mine, but their outcome was happy and the turning point was when they “discovered” that magnets lessen pain and facilitate healing.

I bought a necklace, bracelet and anklet from them. By the end of the day I felt better. In a week I felt better still. And months later, my pain was completely gone. I wanted to order a second set and contacted the original seller. Unfortunately, they sent me hematite jewelry – not magnetite. It was ineffective. I accidentally got lucky the first time because it was the powerful Lodestone (magnetite) I’d bought that cut the pain and facilitated the healing.


After searching for other sources of magnetic jewelry, I found that much of it is mixed stones... and I figured that if I wanted Lodestone jewelry, I'd have to make it myself. So that's what I'm doing and I'm sharing it with whoever wants it. 

Therapy-grade Lodestone (also called magnetite) is powerful medicine that can be used to relieve aches and pains, reduce inflammation and increase blood circulation.




As I see people begin to use this high quality Lodestone jewelry, I am finding that their results are as dramatic as mine. I make the jewelry to fit - order by any size you want.

The Power Patch ~ For Direct Pain Relief


The Magnetic Therapy Patch for Powerful Pain Relief.



This is what a Power Patch looks like. It's one large patch that measures 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" ~ and it can be separated into smaller patches for use over sinuses, applied to fingers, toes, etc. It comes in an organza bag.


Toss the ribbons out.


Fold the organza bag so that only a single thickness is on the bottom.


Tape securely.


This tape works best for me.


The adhesive from the tape can be easily removed with oil. Soap and water doesn't work.


Always wrap your magnets so tape does not come in direct contact with your magnets ~ because it is a mess to clean up.


For sinus pain, use a stretchy headband to secure the magnets without using tape.

These magnets are very strong. Be careful to not put them on top of - or in close proximity to and electronic device such as a computer, digital camera, wristwatch, etc.

Please do not use if you have a pacemaker, insulin pump or any other electronic device that would be damaged by strong magnets. (These are not refrigerator magnets, folks).

Where can I find Magnetic Lodestone Therapy Jewelry?

What Does Lodestone Jewelry Look Like and how do you figure the cost?

You can order this magnetic lodestone therapy jewelry directly from me, Karin Wells. Here. I take PayPal and inquiries are welcome.

Or, if you are in the Monadnock Region of New Hampshire, you can see and buy directly from these two stores. Here.



This is the single strand lodestone necklace above. If you only want one piece, this is probably the most versatile. You can wear it around your neck (all the time) or use it to temporarily wrap it around the body part that hurts (the hand, for example).

For extra strength, please consider a double strand necklace.

All pieces are priced by the linear inch of Lodestone.
(Shipping is extra). 

For example, a 8 in bracelet is 8 linear inches.

A double strand 8 inch bracelet is 16 linear inches.

All jewelry materials and construction are guaranteed.


This double strand anklet has a strong clasp and is made to order.

Example, this 11 inch anklet is double strung and has 22 linear inches of Lodestone.

NOTE that you could order a single string, but the clasp is much stronger on a double string and the double is recommended for bracelets and anklets.


The double strand bracelet (like the anklet) is sized to fit the wrist.



This piece can be used to wrap around the neck and hang down the back of the neck. I'd suggest taping it in place so it doesn't shift. It can also be used to wrap around a thigh or upper arm.

All of the therapy-grade lodestone (in every piece) is so strong it will easily penetrate clothing - it does not need to be next to the skin.


This is some serious therapy. Shown above are two pieces of double strand wraps connected. Depending on length, this combo can be used as a belt, wrapped anywhere - even wrapped around the neck to hang down the spine in order to deal with back pain. I'd suggest taping it in place so it doesn't shift. 

These pieces can be made any length - but consider the Magnetic Therapy Patch for a concentrated application and a less expensive alternative.


 These earrings are high gauss lodestone and easily "grab" the earlobe. I can wear them all day but eventually "feel the pinch" and need to take them off for an hour to give my ear lobes a rest.

They are 1/2 inch in diameter and very powerful tools to stimulate areas of the ear. See ear reflexology.



These stones are the same as the earrings - just used for a different purpose. Tape them directly to areas that hurt. My husband tapes them to his shoulder when it hurts and I have used them on my knees to relieve pain.

Also, see ear reflexology.

for prices.

Don't forget your aging Pets

Elderly, injured, and chronically ailing Dogs and Cats can be very responsive to Magnetic Therapy.



I recommend a single strand pet collar for a cat - or a small dog.





Animals respond well to Magnetic Pet Collars. (Yes, this is my drawing of "Winslow The Studio Cat", 8"x11" sanguine and white chalk on toned paper.)


Double strand Lodestone wraps are stronger and heavier. for a really large animal (horse) I'd recommend a quadruple strand wrap - made to order.



A very active dog would do better with a double strand collar. (Yes, this is one of my portrait paintings. 20"x24", oil on linen)

Testimonials about Magnetic Therapy Jewelry


"For the first time since I can remember, I am warm in the Wintertime." ~ J

"I just had my first good night's sleep and the pain in my shoulder did not wake me up!" ~ S




"My husband said he doesn't feel much - except for having a bit more energy. But I am happy to report that after 2 months of wearing a necklace, he no longer snores!" ~ K

"I used to have terrible leg cramps every night and even sometimes during the day. I think back now and I haven't had one in weeks! This is a first. I wear a necklace and an anklet and am never taking my jewelry off (except to shower)." ~ C

Ear Reflexology

I wear my Lodestone Therapy Dots as earrings, I can wear them most of the day before I feel the "pinch." I feel that it helps my eyesight. (And I like the way they look).

On other parts of the ear, however, it is recommended that 30 to 60 minutes per day are enough.

You don’t need anatomical knowledge of the ear to be able to read an ear reflexology chart. There are over 100 specific reflex points on the external ear, which relate to all your internal organs and your musculoskeletal system.

Get an ear reflexology chart online or refer to one in a book.

Because the dots are so large and so powerful, they cover a lot of areas in the ear. The chart below is from one source that affects the physical structures in the body.


Magnetic Ear Reflexology can affect Emotions too

Most of the reflex points on the emotional ear chart are located along the outer rim of the ear and on the ear lobe.


Are wearing magnets safe?

Yes, Lodestone or Magnetite is as natural as the magnetic field that is necessary for life. The magnetic field produced by this natural Lodestone is a safe, natural energy source. 

I trust that these magnets will work as well for you as they have for me.

However, please note that there are some special medical concerns about magnets being worn by people who have pacemakers, insulin pumps, etc.

How to Reset your Magnets

Once every two weeks, reset your magnets. 

Your jewelry can pick up your energy and needs to be “reset” to the earth's. Simply place the jewelry on cement that is in contact with the ground for 24 to 48 hours. 

I have a cement floor in my basement. If you need to reset them outdoors on cement, cover the magnets to keep them dry while they are resetting.

I have two sets of jewelry – I wear one while the other resets. 

Cement is completely inert. Putting your jewelry on a rock may, or may not, reset them properly. 

When my magnets have been reset, I like that feeling of that fresh energy when I put them on. 


It doesn't have to be fancy, any cement floor will do the trick.

Do the magnets have to touch my body?

What works best, i.e. the necklace, bracelet or anklet? 

Listen to your body. Get what you will wear. I’ve found that the closer to the painful area, that I wear it, the better.


Do the magnets have to touch my body? 

No. The Magnetic field will penetrate approximately six inches away from its source. 


Wearing Magnetite where it hurts

Do I have to wear it where it hurts? 

Not necessarily. 

Your blood circulates to your entire body and will go from your heart and back once every 22 minutes or a total of 6,550 miles every 24 hours. The key is to pick a piece of jewelry that you like, that fits comfortably - then simply wear it 24/7 and allow the Lodestone to do it’s gentle but powerful work.

What if I want to wear it where it hurts?


It is remarkably effective to use Therapy Dots... little round dots of Lodestone taped to the body - right where it hurts.




How do I care for my jewelry?

If it needs it, simply buff with a soft clean cloth. 

Take it off when you take a shower or swim so the clasp won't rust. 


Most people wear their jewelry 24/7.

How much and how often should I wear Lodestone jewelry?

In theory, you can wear one piece and it will work on your entire body from the top of your head to the tip of your toes. 

Man was meant to walk barefoot in soft ground and grasses. 


Instead we wear shoes and we walk on asphalt and cement and separate our energy from the earth. 


One piece can work to balance the entire body - but some people really do need more jewelry than others – and I am one of those people.

Magnetism and optimal human health

Negative magnetic fields in our environment are created by radios, computers, cell phones and other equipment. 

This affects cell membranes, which in turn affect human health.


Although positive magnetic fields are all around us and in us, interference with their balance is harmful. Human interference has disturbed the electrical balance at a cellular level and disturbed cells do not function optimally. 


Human intervention, in the form of wearing magnetic jewelry, can restore a necessary balance in the human body that is in harmony with the earth’s energy.

What is Magnetite or Lodestone?

Magnetite - also known as Lodestone - is a naturally occurring magnetic stone. 

From Wikipedia: “The process by which lodestone is created has long been an open question in geology. Only a small amount of the magnetite on Earth is found magnetized as lodestone. One theory suggests that lodestones are magnetized by the strong magnetic fields surrounding lightning bolts. This is supported by the observation that they are mostly found near the surface of the Earth, rather than buried at great depth.”


Is Magnetite the same as Hematite? 


No. They are entirely different stones. 


Magnetite is a natural occurring stone that is mined, then cut, polished and set for uniformity. 


Because of this process, the gauss rating of each Magnetite bead and each piece of jewelry is the same. 


The average person needs 7,500 gauss or more to have a positive effect on the body and that is why these magnets are made of Lodestone (or magnetite - same thing).

What Are The Benefits of Wearing Magnetic Lodestone Jewelry?

Magnets do not do the healing; rather their magnetic energy provides the body with the necessary components to heal itself, as it was meant to do. 

When your body is healing itself properly, it does not pick and chose what it will heal. You simply become healthy because you are in the process of healing all the time, whether it is cellular, viral, bacterial, muscular, neural or joint problems. 





Bruises, cuts, burns, breaks and surgeries have been said to heal at least twice as fast.


The boosted blood flow draws more of the biochemical agents of healing to the site, promoting repair and countering localized muscle spasms that often accompany trauma. This response also helps flush out biochemical waste products. 


Best of all, magnets are non-invasive therapy, which people can apply on their own to obtain immediate pain relief and mobility.


People have successfully used magnets at muscle trigger points for muscle pulls, general aches, sprains, athletic injuries, bursitis, tendonitis and lower back strains. 

The magnets are not only effective, they are safe. There are no side effects as you often see with pain medications. 

How long does this Magnetic Jewelry take to work?

It starts working as soon as you start touching it!

Most people feel a substantial difference in their bodies in just one to forty eight hours. Some people do need two or three weeks. For me the effect was almost immediate. But each person may react differently. 


I “felt” it about an hour after I first put on my jewelry.


Magnetism is one of the Earth's oldest natural forms of healing energy

This Lodestone magnetic jewelry increases blood circulation. As I understand it, the blood makes a circuit of the body once every 22 minutes. The average North American has very sluggish blood, increasing the toxin build up and diminishing the flow of blood. 

Increased circulation moves these toxins into areas of the body that know how to get rid of them. So remember to drink plenty of water when you first start wearing magnets. 


Increased circulation flushes toxins and oxygenates the blood. It also releases chemicals to help you sleep better, relieves stress, depression and melancholy, you have more energy, improved memory, brain function, comprehension and, of course, your body produces natural pain diminishing chemicals.

Warnings about this Jewelry and Magnets in general




If you are wearing a battery operated electronic medical device – like a Pacemaker, Automatic Defibrillator, Insulin Pump, etc. Magnets must be kept at least 18 inches away from these devices and are not for you. 

The effects of using magnets during pregnancy are unknown. 


Ask your physician if you have any questions or concerns about the use of magnets.


Never put your magnets on top of an electrical device like a computer, iPad, cell phone, data devices including CD's, DVD's digital cameras, clocks, etc. 


You can use all of these devices, but do NOT lay your jewelry on top of them. 


Protect your wristwatch by not wearing a magnetic bracelet on the same wrist as your watch.


So, if I don't have an electronic medical device and do not plan to come into direct contact with other electronic gadgets, is wearing magnetic jewelry safe? 

Yes.  

Lodestone or Magnetite is as natural as the magnetic field that is necessary for life. The magnetic field produced by this natural Lodestone is a safe, natural energy source. 

I trust that these magnets will work as well for you as they have for me as long as you use commonsense advice above to avoid problems caused by strong magnets.
