Pearl petals conjure a luxuriant flower that blooms deep in the rain forest. Its tendrils and floral buds cascade in delicate array. Busarin threads peridot, chalcedony and glass on silk threads for a beautiful necklace.

Elegant and feminine, this beautiful beaded necklace is from the creative mind of Lilly Rahmann of Thailand. She hand crafts the sterling silver necklace by threading beads of chalcedony, carnelian, garnet, and glass, alongside cultured freshwater pearls that are dyed a shimmering shade of brown. Three pink chalcedony and garnet flowers center the delightful necklace, completing the eye-catching design.

Glistening gemstones align with chakra energies on the basis of their color, inspiring this pinwheel pendant necklace from Alok Jain. 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. In this sterling silver necklace includes amethyst, iolite, citrine, peridot, garnet, blue topaz, and carnelian. The 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.
