Cloud Design The Cloud
Design, worn mostly by women, has a narrower spring band. Because
of difficulty in setting gems in these blanks, the setting charge is $15
more than the Standard Design. There are sometimes constraints in gem
size due to the narrower links. One may not notice looking at this picture,
that each blank is a slightly different size, so that the gems will fit
aesthetically.
As with all gold work, we receive the check just for the gold casting fee prior to setting. We do not make a profit on the gold itself. Generally, we only do gold in 22 karat, as pure gold (24 k) would be too soft. I believe a sufficient amount of 22 karat gold touching the skin aids in the strengthening influences of the navaratna. I have found gold to be strengthening to the body and warming to the system.
Expandable Spring Links: As you can see from the two photos above, the spring links on the bangles are expandable, so that when you flex your arm, the bangle expands with it, for maximum comfort.

The
Chakra Design The bangle can also be worn as a bracelet when using only seven gems. The design incorporates saving expense on the 22kt gold by having the gems set in solid silver blanks before the gold chakra cover is soldered into position.

Each link represents the chakra for that particular gem and they are placed in their natural order. The design is unique to Ayurvedic Astrological Jewelry and has taken a long time to develop. It is designed to be ergonomically comfortable and built to withstand a lifetime of normal wear and tear! |

Some clients are very particular about the cosmetic appeal of jewelry and thus this design may cater to them. However from a perspective of potency I am afraid this design is unable to accommodate some of the larger stones due to the proportions of the setting blanks.We only commission this design for clients who purchase seven or nine gems. All the work is done at our office workshop.

It generally takes about three weeks from purchase of the gems to receive the completed piece. |
