Creatively combining interesting gemstones is the particular specialty of Indian designer Neetu Barathi. She designs these alluring dangle earrings with faceted labradorite, smoky quartz, and sky-blue chalcedony. The gems are set in sterling silver with a polished finish.

The clusters of gemstones on these dangle earrings are full of vivacious color. Handcrafted by Thai artisan Nareerat, these earrings feature round beads of carnelian, dyed green quartz, and orange glass, combined with chips of citrine, all threaded together and hanging from sterling silver hooks.

Dazzling with bright colors, each gem on these earrings 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 these bar earrings Sarote Lochotinunt selects garnet, Madeira citrine(orange), citrine, peridot, topaz, iolite, and amethyst.

Quetzalcoatl, the "feathered serpent" was a revered deity in Mesoamerican myth and legend. Mariana Llanes depicts him as a sterling silver dragon that take its own tail in his mouth. "When one becomes many, they awaken the dragon, and duality emerges — light and darkness, what is mine, yours and belonging to others," ths artist says. "Our differences, survival and the struggles for power.

"By biting its tail, the dragon places all its energy toward understanding who we are and why we're here. It speaks of overcoming one's own ego, of humility.

"For me, the open hands are a beautiful representation of human collabouration. They symbolize friendship, honesty, respect, solidarity and willingness.

"Black crosses flank the hands along with garnet droplets that represent the death and suffering caused by wars. This is in honour of everyone who has died because of war. And it's a prayer that their lives and their blood be seeds that germinate in green fields of conscience, learning, and respect for life and for our differences.

"The spirals speak of life's cyclical nature and of resilience. Of our capacity to learn and change our reality, converting painful experiences into strength and wisdom.

"The feather pendants are symbols of the birds that collect our prayers around the world — for peace, for justice, for equality and the rights of everyone. They carry our voices in their song and they carry our prayers for peace."

The pendant is worn on a beaded gemstone strand of amethyst, iolite, citrine, peridot, carnelian and garnet.
