Sarote Lochotinunt in Thailand creates a pendant necklace with a rainbow of gems to represent the seven main chakras or energy channels within the body. The sterling silver bar pendant is set with round faceted amethyst, blue topaz, citrine, garnet, iolite and peridot. The sparkling pendant centers a sterling silver rolo chain.

The Muladhara or root chakra, associated with the color red, governs sexuality and security. The Svadhishthana or sacral chakra is associated with the color orange; it represents relationships and emotional needs. Associated with the color yellow, the Manipura or solar plexus chakra governs personal power and fear. The Anahata or heart chakra, associated with the color green, governs unconditional love and tenderness. Vishuddha, the throat chakra, is associated with light blue and governs communication and thought. The Ajna or third-eye chakra, associated with blue-violet, is linked to consciousness and intuition. Finally, the Sahasrara or crown chakra is associated with the color white and represents inner wisdom.

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.
