formal necklace

Exuding grace and charm, this pendant necklace presented by Neeru Goel of India features vibrant purple amethyst. Circular and pear-shaped amethyst gemstones shine in this necklace created by joining delicate sterling silver links, making this the perfect accessory for any day out.

A serene and regal face, delicately carved of cow bone, adorns this necklace from Bali's Komang Suastra. She is Candra Kirana, princess of Kediri (a kingdom in East Java). Bedecked with over 2 carats of amethysts and crowned with sterling silver, the pendant is suspended from a sterling silver wheat chain.

Candra Kirana (whose name means 'Radiant Ray of the Moon') was the princess of Kediri in East Java. On the eve of her wedding day, Candra Kirana disappears. A demoness who wants Prince Panji (her bridegroom) for herself takes the form of a beautiful princess and tells the prince that she is his wife but has been transformed by the goddess Durga. Meanwhile, Candra Kirana finds herself deep in the forest, where she attracts the attention of the gods. Disguised by the gods as a man, she travels to the palace to be reunited with her bridegroom. When the demoness’s true identity is revealed, Candra Kirana magically vanishes. Panji goes in search of his bride, who has since become the king of Bali. At the climax, the prince fights with the disguised Chandra Kirana. According to the gods’ command, she must draw Panji’s blood in order to reveal her true identity. For a long time, neither of them brings harm to the other, but eventually Princess Candra Kirana draws her hairpin and pricks Prince Panji; thus she is finally reunited with her beloved.

The alley cat does her best to stay in the shadows. Contending with other night creatures, the feline also prefers to be neither seen nor heard. No wonder they call them "cat burglars!" The nocturnal nature of the notorious alley prowler is captured in beautiful detail by Balinese artisan Made Wardika. The circular pendant features a smiling crescent-moon, hand-carved from bone, with a cat of sterling silver sitting beside it. A pair of faceted garnet gemstones flank them, while the top and bottom are adorned with amethyst and peridot gems. The entire necklace receives a combination of oxidized and high-polish finishes for stunning visual contrast.

Magical sparkles evoke the grandeur of a rainbow in this exquisite necklace from Neeru Goel. More than 24 carats of garnet, peridot, amethyst, citrine, and blue topaz gemstones sit within sterling silver pear shaped bezels. A dazzling faceted peridot pendant suspends from the chain in a gorgeous example of contemporary Indian style.

Gently embraced by sterling silver, gemstone droplets form a colorful cascade in this necklace from Alok Jain. Faceted peridot, amethyst, blue topaz and citrine total 21.5 sumptuous carats.

Sparkling brilliantly, 22 carats of faceted oval amethyst form a camellia flower as the pendant of this sensational necklace. Alok Jain presents the necklace, which is crafted of rhodium plated sterling silver and centers a classic cable chain.

Artisan Alok Jain alludes to the Holy Trinity in this pretty cross pendant necklace from India. Rhodium plated sterling silver forms a cross adorned with leafy stems that blossom into 3 precious amethysts totaling 1.5 carats. The pendant centers a sterling silver cable chain.

Rhodium plated .925 sterling silver

A trio of gemstones forms the pendant of this lovely necklace from Alok Jain of India. The bright colors of amethyst, citrine, and blue topaz highlight the shining silver tone of the rhodium-plated sterling silver chain. Each gemstone weighs one carat.

Chakras align in the form of seven faceted gemstones held within a sterling silver figure in a meditative pose. Alok Jain's pendant necklace is simple yet elegant in its design as it represents the seven centers of spiritual energy found in the body when practicing yoga or meditating. Red garnet depicts the foundational root chakra, with a carnelian stone above it for the sacral chakra, which relates to accepting change. Yellow citrine for the solar plexus chakra stands for confidence, and green peridot for the heart chakra and love. Blue topaz for communication sits in the throat chakra position, and the figure's head holds iolite for the focusing third eye chakra. The line is finished at the top with a purple amethyst, held aloft, representing the crown chakra that promotes spiritual connection.
