iridescent jewelry

The clusters of gemstones on these dangle earrings are full of vivacious color. Handcrafted by Thai artisan Nareerat, these earrings feature round beads of carnelian, dyed green quartz, and orange glass, combined with chips of citrine, all threaded together and hanging from sterling silver hooks.

A colorful gemstone grid aligns with chakra energies to achieve a harmonious sense of well-being. From Alok Jain in India, the 22k gold plated necklace glistens with amethyst, iolite, citrine, peridot, garnet, blue topaz, and carnelian. Their colors each correspond 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 the 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.
