yellow necklaces

Sterling silver outlines a person seated in meditation in this necklace by Abhishek Singla. Aligning down the center, gemstones represent the seven chakras. The word means "wheel," and it refers to the points of spiritual or physical energy in the human body. Violet amethyst appears at the crown, indigo iolite represents the brow, blue topaz, the throat and green peridot, the heart. Representing the solar plexus, yellow follows, then red-orange carnelian for the sacral chakra and garnet for the root.

Chakras align by taking the form of seven faceted jewels held within a 22k gold-plated figure in a meditative pose. Indian artisan Alok Jain's pendant necklace conveys elegance and mysticism in its representation of the seven centres of spiritual energy, each portrayed by precious gems in a bezel setting.

Red garnet depicts the foundational root chakra, with a carnelian stone above it for the sacral chakra, which relates to accepting change. Yellow citrine for the solar plexus chakra stands for confidence, and green peridot stands for the heart chakra and love. Blue topaz for communication sits in the throat chakra position, and the figure's head holds iolite for the focusing third eye chakra. The line is finished at the top with a purple amethyst, held aloft, representing the crown chakra, which promotes spiritual connection.

Designer Ritu Thapar lets her soul rest and bond with the universe in meditation sessions that add peace to her artistic lifestyle. Inspired by those serene and spiritual sensations, she works with local Indian artisans to create this round ceramic necklace, whose hand-painted finish depicts a girl in a mystic meditation exercise. The piece also has a nylon cord that can be adjusted to your liking.

Luminous Om centers a colorful chakra wheel studded with shimmering gemstones in the design of this necklace from Alok Jain. Crafted of sterling silver, the necklace features gemstones totaling 6.3 carats, and each one is related to a specific chakra by virtue of its color. Amethyst corresponds to the crown chakra, clear quartz to the brow, iolite to the throat and peridot to the heart. Citrine is associated with the solar plexus, carnelian to the sacral and garnet to the root chakra.

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.
