India - a country with a millenary culture, beautiful landscapes and the cradle of great world religions, especially Hinduism. Indian jewelry is often shaped by the associated, fascinating spirituality.

Just like the art of yoga, the knowledge of chakras comes originally from India. In the language of Sanskrit, chakra means "circle" or "wheel", which in the broadest sense means rotating energy wheels in the astral body of man. Indian mythology also compares chakras with rotating lotus flowers . The seven main chakras lie along the spine and send out their energy in all directions.
When all the chakras are open and all blockages are removed, the life energy flows through us unhindered and we feel balanced, alive and well. Each bracelet is held in the color of its associated chakra and provided with the appropriate symbol. Each energy circle is responsible for certain qualities such as creativity, willpower or independence. Choose the bracelets that will strengthen you in the right area.

What makes Indian jewelry?
Indian jewelry can encompass many areas - and it does not always have to mean that the pieces were made in India, often just for inspiration. And also from a religious and spiritual point of view, behind the term may be different. The examples listed here are all Hindu inspired, as Hinduism is the predominant religion of India and is most likely to be associated with the land.
Strictly speaking, Buddha jewelry could also be called Indian because Buddhism was originally created in India. In the end, you have to decide: What significance does the jewelry have for you, with which symbolism can you identify yourself - and can a certain pendant or mantra give you positive energy in everyday life ?
