A colorful gemstone grid aligns with chakra energies to achieve a harmonious sense of well-being. From Alok Jain in India, this 22k gold plated sterling silver link bracelet glistens with amethyst, iolite, citrine, peridot, garnet, blue topaz, and carnelian. Their colors correspond to a specific chakra. Clear and light purple stones are associated with the seventh chakra (awareness and wisdom); the purple, violet and indigo gems with sixth chakra (insight and perception), and the blue or light blue with the fifth, that of communication and truth. Green and pink stones are for love and compassion, linked to the heart, on the fourth chakra. For inner power and will, the third chakra is associated with yellow gems, whereas emotion and sexuality are linked to red and orange gems for the second chakra. Black gems are used to stimulate the first 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.
