From Alok Jain, the sterling silver pendant is set with garnet, citrine, amethyst, iolite, carnelian, blue topaz, and peridot. Each gem's color is associated with one of the seven chakras or energy vortexes in the body. Their alignment results in a sense of well-being, with gemstones aiding the process.

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.
