jewelry for dresses

Representing oneness with the universe, om is an important symbol for both Buddhist and Hindu cultures. Indian artisans craft two omkara of sterling silver, accented with cabochons of rainbow moonstone to dangle from the ears.

Two sterling silver bands, inscribed with the words "namaste" and "breathe," cradle three narrower sterling silver rings in this original design by India's Shivani Choudhary. One of the narrow bands features a raised brass lotus, the second features a raised brass "om" symbol, and the third complements the other two with its simplicity. The words and symbols are oxidized to further highlight the motifs.
