gemstone necklaces

A symbol of the universe, the mandala is a circle enclosing a square with a deity on each side. Interpreted in sterling silver, this lacy mandala pendant hosts a faceted gemstone in each corner. Garnet, amethyst and peridot adorn a necklace from Bhavesh.

The sparkling radiance of peridot mingles with the dazzle of blue topaz, garnet, citrine, amethyst and smoky quartz to create this shimmering pendant. The faceted gems, weighing one carat each, come together to form a colorful wheel, framed in rhodium plated sterling silver. Hema presents the necklace, which centers a sterling silver cable chain.

A myriad of prehnite and peridot stones embellish this waterfall necklace featuring an intricate design crafted by Nareerat from Thailand. After choosing the jewels in a green hue, the artisan adds little glass beads that make each of the accessory's strands shine with a unique light. On top of that, the gems symbolize good fortune and fantasy.

Hanzi are characters used in Chinese writing. As early as the sixth century A.D., many of these characters began to be simplified and adopted into Japanese writing, where they're known as kanji, a term that is more widely used in the West. Artisans in Yiwu, China, create these pendants by using sterling silver and the lost-wax casting method. Each character emulates the sweeping brushstrokes of traditional calligraphy. Choose based on birth month, favorite color, or simply the symbol that resonates with you most.
