gift for an artist

Designed by Wayan Trisna, these pretty dangle earrings are inspired by the sacral chakra, which is thought to govern sexuality and creative expression. The Balinese artisan uses sterling silver to hand craft the openwork earrings, accenting the precious metal with bright carnelian stones.

In Sanskrit, chakra refers to an energy vortex through which vital universal forces are channeled. It is believed that each individual possesses seven of these powerful areas. When balance is achieved with each, the body, mind, and spirit all work as one, bringing about a greater sense of health and well-being. Designed to create harmony within each chakra, this pair of vibrant dangle earrings is presented by Chintan of India. Made with high-polished sterling silver, the earrings feature faceted stones of blue topaz, carnelian, garnet, citrine, peridot, amethyst, and sapphire. Aligning the stones beautifully within a sterling silver rectangle, the artisan crafts a stylish, modern design.

Green and pink stones are 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.
