formal necklace

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.

Let nature's wise and spiritual energy fill your days with this majestic design by Domingo Reanda.

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.
