classy necklaces

Buana is one of our favorite artists, and this necklace is a great addition to the Frangipani line. The design is complex and elegant, while still being simple enough to also wear with casual clothes.

While I chose to buy the garnet "dragon's ball" necklace for myself, I chose the topaz one for my best friend whose birthday is in December and his birthstone is topaz. The craftsmanship and detailing when I purchased mine convinced me this artisan knows exactly what dragons look like. Since both my friend, Timothy, and I equally love these creatures, it only followed that once I received mine, I would obtain one for him. He was both pleased and happy to receive such an unique and beautiful gift.

The pendant is gorgeous in every way. The silver work is perfection, the stones are of substantial size, yet in proportion to the graceful design, and their colors are bright, clear, and vivid. Many chakra items present their stones in a straight alignment which is beautiful in its own way, but I am drawn to this circular arrangement which echoes the spinning vortexes of our chakras. Many thanks to Alok Jain for this insightful design, rendered with his superb workmanship and artistry.
