Chakra and Awe

Asha Patel Designs Jewelry

Promise rings. Friendship bracelets. You like your jewelry to mean something.

Local gal Asha Patel’s necklaces will satisfy your sentimental heart.

In addition to just-plain-pretty labradorite hunks strung from leather cord, her new East-meets-West pendant collection, Threads, features nine aura-centered emblems laced on corresponding colored silks.

Among them: Om (the all-connecting sound of the universe), Hamsa (to offer protection, happiness, peace, and prosperity), and Clover (the universal good fortune symbol).

Patel’s mantra is to take a step back and just breathe.

And everybody could use a little of that.
