This magnificent hand-crafted statement necklace is designed by Tishita Jain with the allure of oceanic colors and geometric shapes. A row of smooth rounded beads of calcite in different sizes forms the basic structure of the necklace, with glimmering beads of sterling silver acting as spacers between each sea blue stone. The central pendant features a cascade of round and square calcite gems linked by silver. The overall appearance is bold and eye-catching without being gaudy, blending beautifully with any number of outfits.

Glistening gemstones align with chakra energies on the basis of their color, inspiring this pinwheel pendant necklace 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. In this sterling silver necklace includes amethyst, iolite, citrine, peridot, garnet, blue topaz, 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 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.
