The Chakra collection by Caspita is based on the
sacred language and symbolism of ancient India.
Each of the seven chakras (or "wheels" of energy
situated along the spinal cord) are symbolized by
a unique shape and color in the design of a lotus
fl ower. This collection transforms sacred knowl-
edge into talismanic jewelry for the spiritually
astute – or the lovers of beauty. In diamond,
enamel or colored gemstone, pendant or ring,
single chakra for intense energetic work or all
seven as a collected whole for balance, each piece
is a work of spirit and art.
