Inner Balance Gemstone chakra bracelet

Length: 6.25"

Rituu Agarwal

(1071)

Knotted by hand on macrame cords, gemstones represent the seven chakras. The word means "wheel" and 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, and each is linked to a different mantra. By Rituu in India, this beautiful bracelet combines amethyst, lapis lazuli, pale blue amazonite and rose quartz with golden tiger's eye, carnelian and onyx. It is designed to foster balance and harmony in life. The bracelet can be adjusted in length by sliding the knot along the cords, and hematite adorns each end.

Desak Nyoman Parwati

Bali & Java

Desak fondly recalls the clear river water and beautiful scenery of her childhood. But her favorite memories were ones spent with her father, bringing him lunch at the farm and scaring away the birds. After he passed, Desak and her 10 siblings found themselves struggling to survive.

Everything changed in 2001 when she joined NOVICA. Today, her gorgeous batik robes and kimonos are internationally known, and her workshop employs 15 artisans who assist her in producing traditional and contemporary batik garments.
