Buddha Yoga Earrings Amethyst Crown Chakra Meditation Handmade Jewelry


buddha crown chakra yoga earrings gift for women

The meaningful "Meditation" handmade earrings feature artisan copper Buddha charms and faceted purple amethyst gemstones - perfect yoga jewelry for women.


Filled with the serenity of a meditating Buddha, the well named MEDITATION handmade earrings are meaningful gift idea for the woman who practices yoga, meditates or is a Buddhist. The one of a kind earrings feature artisan copper Buddha dangles and faceted purple amethyst coin gemstones. The Buddha charms were handmade from beginning to end from copper metal clay: shaped, carved, fired in a kiln and then given a warm copper patina. The solid copper Buddhas are raised against the background in a modified meditative lotus pose. As you can see, the details of the design are amazing. The charms are slightly domed and the back is fairly smooth, but you can still see a bit of the Buddha design (see photo # 8). Since the Buddhas were individually created, they are very similar but also a bit different, something that makes them truly unique!  To represent the crown chakra, our connection to the universal energy or life force, translucent violet purple amethyst gemstones was wire wrapped above the Buddha charms. The shape of the amethyst is a thick coin circle shape and they are faceted, lending subtle sparkle to the earring design. Since the amethyst is translucent, they positively glow when the earrings are worn. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the MEDITATION earrings will be a welcome gift for the woman who loves unique spiritually uplifting Buddha yoga jewelry.

Dharma Wheel Mandala Necklace, Dharmachakra Handmade Gemstone Jewelry


mandala dharmachakra dharma wheel pendant necklace

The "Dharmachakra" handmade necklace features a copper dharma wheel, purple fluorite, aqua terra jasper and copper findings - meaningful gift for women.


Featuring one of the oldest and most important symbols in Buddhism, the DHARMACHAKRA handmade pendant necklace is a perfect jewelry gift for the woman who loves to wear meaningful jewelry. A mandala dharma wheel (also called a dharmachakra) pendant in copper is paired with purple fluorite gemstones, purple aqua terra jasper and copper discs to create this beautifully unique necklace. The pendant is two sided, the same design on both sides, with the dharma wheel raised against the background for lovely texture. The design features a dharma wheel with ten spokes representing the ten directions (everywhere).  Since violet is the color of the crown chakra, purple fluorite rounds and purple aqua terra jasper rondelles were used to perfectly complement the dharma wheel pendant. As you can see in the photo, the purple fluorite ranges in color from a dark purple to pale lavender to almost clear, a natural characteristic of the gemstone. Some of the rounds are two-toned, both purple and clear. Separating the fluorite into groups are aqua terra jasper (also called sea sediment jasper) gemstone rondelles, five on each side. Typically, aqua terra jasper is pale aqua / sandy beige color with unique patterns, but, since it takes a dye fairly easily, it can be found in other colors, such as this gorgeous purple. As you can see, the unique patterning of the jasper is still seen.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the meaningful DHARMACHAKRA necklace will be a welcome gift to a woman who practices yoga, meditates or is a Buddhist.

Om Aum Yoga Necklace, Brass Yellow Aragonite Gemstone Handmade Jewelry


om aum yoga necklace gift for women

The Aum handmade necklace features a solid brass pendant with a raised Om symbol, yellow aragonite gemstones and turquoise Czech glass discs - yoga jewelry for women.


Filled with the sacred sound of Om, the AUM handmade yoga pendant necklace features a solid brass pendant made by an artisan in Thailand, yellow aragonite gemstones and turquoise Czech glass discs. The brass Om pendant was given a dark patina to add an ancient feel and then polished to help bring out the incredible detailing. The Om symbol is centered in the middle of the pendant and is raised against the background, as is the granulated dot decoration around the edge of the pendant, adding beautiful texture. The back of the bronze pendant is silky smooth.

The Meaning of Om: 'Om,' 'Ohm' or 'Aum' is a sacred sound that is believed to be the sound of the universe. Om is all encompassing, the essence of ultimate reality and unifies everything in the universe. It is a syllable that is chanted either independently or before a mantra in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism.

The Om symbol in the middle of the brass pendant is raised against the background for beautiful texture.


To perfectly highlight the rich color of the bronze Om pendant, straw yellow aragonite gemstone rounds in two sizes and small turquoise color Czech glass beads were used. The aragonite shades from pale yellow to darker yellow.  Between each set of three larger aragonite beads are two small aragonite rounds with unexpected color between them: turquoise colored Czech glass discs. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the AUM necklace was created for the woman who loves one of a kind, spiritual jewelry.
