Orange and contrasting beige blend harmoniously in this handmade three-strand necklace from Indian artisans Rajnandinee and Srabonti. Two strands of plastic beads are covered with orange recycled polyester fabric and individually tied off; they cradle a third strand in beige. The three strands unite on each end in an off-white cord which features a sliding bead that allows the length to be adjusted.

This floral medallion with multi colored petals is designed to energize the chakras. From Alok Jain, the sterling silver necklace is studded with amethyst, quartz, iolite, citrine, peridot, garnet and carnelian. The gems total 1.3 carats and their colors relate to a specific chakra: 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.

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.

Capturing the unique elegance of the region, talented Indian artisans create a splendid design full of intricate details. Vijay Singh's newest kimono is made from sheer, delicate viscose and lurex textiles, allowing for a beautiful drape that flows gracefully, displaying the exquisite floral print that embellishes the fabric with its palette of orange, fuchsia and pink hues. Luminous sequins are hand-stitched around the neckline, shoulders, cuffs and placket, adding a radiant touch to the garment, whose golden belt completes it perfectly.

There are days on fire and days that go with the tides, and for each of them, there is a bracelet crafted by India’s Swasti Jain. The designer teams up with a talented artisan team to craft this set of two stretch bracelets. One is composed of citrine, carnelian and jasper gems, evoking the flames of fire, while the other evokes tranquil waters thanks to a series of fluorite jewels.
