colored necklaces

Dazzling with bright colors, each gem on this necklace symbolizes a different chakra point. Meaning "wheel," chakra refers to the points of spiritual and physical energy in the human body. Violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red represent the crown, brow, throat, heart, solar plexus, sacral and root. For this bar necklace Sarote Lochotinunt selects garnet, Madeira citrine(orange), citrine, peridot, topaz, iolite, and amethyst.

Reminiscent of the 1960s, this retro necklace is designed and crafted by Thai artisan Napat Chotpruekchookul. Expertly handcrafted from ceramic, the pendant depicts the peace sign in a rainbow of bright colors. Glazed to a smooth finish, it is worn on an adjustable waxed-cotton cord with sliding knot that makes finding the perfect length a breeze.

Seven colorful gems share their natural energies in the design of this necklace. From Alok Jain, the sterling silver pendant is set with garnet, citrine, amethyst, iolite, carnelian, blue topaz, and peridot. Each gem's color is associated with one of the seven chakras or energy vortexes in the body. Their alignment results in a sense of well-being, with gemstones aiding the process.

Oscar Figueroa turns his eye toward vintage Mexican jewelry of the kind favored by Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. Working in Taxco sterling silver, he creates a Mazahua-style necklace. The pendant is delicately sculpted to depict an ornate nest hosting beaded dangles. Two doves exchange a kiss atop he pendant while two fledglings nestle beneath, and natural turquoise adds color and contrast.

Oscar Figueroa Escorcia was born in Taxco and has been working as a silversmith for more than three decades. His work captures his passion for the craft as well as local traditions.
