This floral medallion with multi colored petals is designed to energize the chakras. From Alok Jain, the sterling silver necklace is studded with amethyst, quartz, iolite, citrine, peridot, garnet and carnelian. The gems total 1.3 carats and their colors relate to a specific chakra: clear and light purple stones are associated with the 7th chakra (awareness and wisdom); the purple, violet and indigo gems with 6th chakra (insight and perception), and the blue or light blue with the 5th, that of communication and truth. Green and pink stones are for love and compassion, linked to the heart, on the 4th chakra. For inner power and will, the 3rd chakra is associated with yellow gems, whereas emotion and sexuality are linked to red and orange gems for the 2nd chakra. Black gems are used to stimulate the 1st chakra, that of stability and security.

In Sanskrit, chakra refers to an energy vortex through which vital universal forces are channeled, and there are believed to be seven in the human body. When all seven are aligned the person feels a healthy sense of well-being.

Multicolored dewdrops bathe the sterling silver flower that centers this necklace from Alok Jain. The seven gems are chosen by virtue of their colors, each associated with a chakra point. In this necklace, amethyst is related to both the seventh or crown chakra associated with wisdom, and the sixth at the center of the forehead and associated with intuition. Blue topaz and iolite are associated with the fifth chakra, that of communication, and peridot corresponds to the fourth chakra, that of love and compassion. The third chakra's yellow hue of inner power is matched by citrine's glow and carnelian matches the second chakra, that of emotion and sexuality. Garnet's red glow is associated with the first chakra situated at the base of the spine, which corresponds to stability and security.
