Sparkling gemstone briolettes dance in sterling silver earrings by Rituu. They represent the seven chakras. The word means "wheel" and refers to the points of spiRituual and physical energy in the human body. Violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red represent the crown, brow, throat, heart, solar plexus, sacral and root, and each is linked to a different mantra. The faceted amethyst, iolite, blue topaz, peridot, carnelian, citrine and garnet together total some 12 carats.
.925 Sterling silver hooks
Since childhood, Rituu has been drawn to the rich history of Indian jewelry, particularly that of her native Jaipur. She married into a family of jewelry artisans who, for generations, have passed their skills down from elder to younger. Rituu's husband encouraged her to create her own jewelry and she persevered, learning all she could. She now has a workshop where she teaches traditional jewelry making techniques to the people who work with her.
Novica sales account for much of Rituu's income. They have helped her to survive a health crisis and to grow her workshop. She is now one of Novica's most successful Indian jewelry artisans. The stable income that Novica sales bring has profoundly impacted Rituu's life and the lives of her workers.
Rituu has struggled to overcome the crippling effects of osteoporosis and other bone ailments. It affected her work for a number of years but her determination has driven her forward and she has rebuilt her jewelry workshop in spite of her chronic health issues.
Rituu's husband encouraged her to start designing and crafting jewelry on her own. She has steadily grown her workshop and is now able to provide full-time employment to other artisans, most of whom are women.
When Rituu started her jewelry workshop, she joined Novica. She has steadily grown her project as is now able to employ several full-time assistants.
The Women's Empowerment badge is awarded to female artisans or artisan groups that are led by women.

These looked even prettier than in the photos and add interest to all-black outfits.

This pair of earrings are really perfect! They match with just about everything in my closet. The size is perfect too - very substantial without being too long and gaudy. I love this length, as it hits the sweet spot on my neck.

"Slowly my husband encouraged to me create some jewelry… thus I started on my journey. I am greatly influenced by the ancient designs and I bring them to my work."
