The glorious aura of gold plating crowns a creation from Thailand.

In addition to their stunning beauty, the pieces feature gold-plated hooks for easy use.

After firing the shaped clay, the artisan hand paints the pennants with diagonal stripes of pink, green, and gold over a black base. A gold-colored ball swings merrily from each earring. The earrings hang from sterling silver hooks and copper wire supports the ceramic. This wearable work of art will be a cheery addition to any outfit.

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.
