The bands feature iridescent rainbow moonstone and a floral motif, and joined at the back.

A rainbow of petite gemstones sparkle at the center of this carefully crafted ring from Bali's Ketut Sulastri.

Each band holds a different gemstone--amethyst, quartz, garnet, and cubic zirconia--in a bezel setting.

Colorful gems of powerful beauty are designed to align with their respective chakras in a ring from Alok Jain. Crafted of sterling silver, the ring is crowned with amethyst, iolite, citrine, peridot, garnet, blue topaz and carnelian set within a gentle curve. Their colors correspond to a specific chakra for 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.
