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.

Luminous Om centers a colorful chakra wheel studded with shimmering gemstones in the design of this necklace from Alok Jain. Crafted of sterling silver, the necklace features gemstones totaling 6.3 carats, and each one is related to a specific chakra by virtue of its color. Amethyst corresponds to the crown chakra, clear quartz to the brow, iolite to the throat and peridot to the heart. Citrine is associated with the solar plexus, carnelian to the sacral and garnet to the root chakra.

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.
