garnet and citrine jewelry

When the chakra centers align in harmonious unity, life becomes enchanting and peaceful. India's Sumit Dhawan channels these magical sensations in this beaded necklace, composed of precious gem beads in a rainbow palette. The accessory has a sterling silver pendant where faceted sodalite, garnet, blue topaz, carnelian, amethyst, peridot and citrine stones rest, forming a one-carat arrangement that represents each chakra center.

Hanzi are characters used in Chinese writing. As early as the sixth century A.D., many of these characters began to be simplified and adopted into Japanese writing, where they're known as kanji, a term that is more widely used in the West. Artisans in Yiwu, China, create these pendants by using sterling silver and the lost-wax casting method. Each character emulates the sweeping brushstrokes of traditional calligraphy. Choose based on birth month, favorite color, or simply the symbol that resonates with you most.

India's Alok Jain presents a stunning design inspired by the ancient Hindu doctrine. Featuring the ancestral Om sign, this 22k gold-plated pendant necklace aims to be an amulet of peace and reflection, as its traditional motifs made using advanced metalwork techniques evoke the divine aura of the classic Indian temples.

Furthermore, seven faceted gemstones in a round cut rest in the accessory, each representing one of the seven chakras: amethyst, the stone of wisdom, as the crown chakra; carnelian, the stone of confidence, as the sacral chakra; peridot, the stone of prosperity, as the heart chakra; garnet, the stone of perseverance, as the root chakra; iolite, the stone of intuition, as the third eye chakra; blue topaz, the stone of righteousness, as the throat chakra; and citrine, the stone of success, as the solar plexus chakra.
