It is now officially a month into 2020, a month into the new decade, and for many, a refreshing new start to look forward to. As we begin this new chapter, we inevitably look back on our faults and accomplishments and ponder on what we want out of our future, setting goals that we hope to follow through; a New Year?s Resolution, by any other name. And whether yours is posted on a piece of paper right by your bed, or is a loose hope that is stashed somewhere in your brain, we?re here with an idea to help you achieve your objective.

While jewelry can definitely be purely decorative, like tattoos, they can also hold deep sentimental meaning. Maybe jewelry being symbolic sounds foreign to you, but in reality, we?re actually all very much used to the idea of jewelry as a representation. The belief that an engagement ring depicts the strength and endurance of your relationship, that feeling you get when you?re wearing a necklace that belonged to a relative that passed, that?s all the attachment of meaning onto jewelry. So, why not a piece of jewelry that represents your New Year?s Resolution? Why not something that you can look at every day and be reminded of the person you?d like to be this coming year?

To help you make a decision on what to get, below are a list of gemstones and their fabled capabilities paired with some popular new year?s resolutions. Whether or not the belief is there, a physical and highly visible reminder will assure that your ambitions are always on your mind.
