nature inspired jewelry

Wild and majestic flowers are handcrafted in sterling silver over cabochon sunsets of natural carnelian. This pair of fantastic dangle earrings is designed by Balinese artisan Rupadana.

Glistening gemstones align with chakra energies on the basis of their color, inspiring these pinwheel earrings from Alok Jain. 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. This pair of sterling silver earrings includes amethyst, iolite, citrine, peridot, garnet, clear quartz , and carnelian. The 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 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.

A graceful sweep of sterling silver is adorned with round faceted gemstones in all the colors of the rainbow in this pendant necklace presented by Alok Jain of India. The design is inspired by the concept of chakra, the belief that the body has seven well-springs of energy that, when in balance, lead to optimum health. Each gemstone--garnet, carnelian, citrine, peridot, blue topaz, iolite, amethyst--represents one of the chakra.

Carnelians burn with the colors of fire inspired by love and passion. From Neeru Goel, this extraordinary necklace showcases the gem's natural radiance. She adds sterling silver settings for an unforgettable fashion accessory.

Smooth carnelian cabochons contrast with faceted garnets that sit at the center of the oxidized spirals. Spirals have been linked to nature, the seasons, and the path of life: birth, growth, death and reincarnation.
