From Alok Jain, this sterling silver bracelet links colorful gems associated with chakras. Set in sterling silver, amethyst, iolite, citrine, peridot, garnet, blue topaz and carnelian total 7 gemstone carats. 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 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.

Four carats of natural garnet and gold accents shine in this hand crafted cuff bracelet presented to us by Wayan Neri. A Balinese floral motif is featured at each end of the bracelet and stylishly conceals a hinge designed for easy wear. This unique bracelet is named after Gelgel, a kingdom that dominated Bali five centuries ago.

More than 21 carats of garnet, citrine, peridot, iolite and amethyst bring a rainbow of color to this sterling silver bracelet. The design is inspired by Rangwali Holi, the Hindu festival where friends and strangers playfully douse each other with vivid colored powders in a celebration of renewal, reconciliation, and thanksgiving.
