precious jewelry

Beautifully aligned in a unique design, radiant gemstones in various colors shine ever so brightly. Alok Jain of India presents this stunning sterling silver ring with round gemstone accents, a lovely accessory to any ensemble.

A colorful gemstone grid aligns with chakra energies to achieve a harmonious sense of well-being. From Alok Jain in India, the 22k gold plated necklace glistens with amethyst, iolite, citrine, peridot, garnet, blue topaz, and carnelian. Their colors each correspond to a specific chakra. Clear and light purple stones are associated with the 7th chakra (awareness and wisdom); the purple, violet and indigo gems with the 6th chakra (insight and perception), and the blue or light blue with the 5th, that of communication and truth. 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.

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.

Seven colorful gems share their natural energies in the design of this necklace. From Alok Jain, the 22k gold vermeil necklace is set with garnet, citrine, amethyst, iolite, carnelian, blue topaz, and peridot.

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 centers 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.

Both funky and elegant, Wayan Trisna's dangle earrings sparkle with a rainbow of colorful gemstones. The Balinese artisan uses sterling silver to hand craft the earrings, engraving the precious metal with a lotus motif. Suspended below, amethyst, citrine, carnelian, garnet, iolite, peridot, and reconstituted turquoise glow, symbolizing the seven chakras.

When the chakra centers align in harmonious unity, life becomes enchanting and peaceful. India's Sumit Dhawan channels these magical sensations in this beaded necklace, composed of precious gem beads in a rainbow palette. The accessory has a sterling silver pendant where faceted sodalite, garnet, blue topaz, carnelian, amethyst, peridot and citrine stones rest, forming a one-carat arrangement that represents each chakra center.

Hindu doctrine believes that the body is regulated by sacred energy centers called chakras, which are often related to a particular gemstone. Drawing inspiration from this ancient knowledge, India's Bhavya Jain crafts a gorgeous set of seven sterling silver stud earrings featuring precious stones. With freeform apatite, amethyst, peridot, citrine, rainbow moonstone and ruby gems, each accessory has a high-polish finish for a glamorous touch.
