Ornate sterling silver scrollwork complements beautiful gemstones in this pair of dangle earrings handcrafted by Balinese artisan Buana. In the center of each earring are gemstones of citrine, amethyst, and rainbow moonstone, each with a different cut. Nestled amongst the scrollwork are sterling silver flowers, and a cultured freshwater pearl dangles from the bottom of each earring.

Faceted gemstones set in rhodium plated sterling silver form the petals of a delicate flower. Transformed into earrings by Shanker, the blossoms showcase natural garnet, amethyst and citrine. Peridot, iolite and rainbow moonstone join them to surround a single blue topaz.

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.
