GOMTI CHAKRA / EYE OF SHIVA: This transformative shell is known throughout the world by various names: the Gomti Chakra or Eye of Shiva in India; the Eye of Saint Lucy (Santa Lucia) in Italy; the Mermaid Coin in South Africa; the Eye of Naxos in Greece; and the Cat's Eye in Australia, New Zealand and varying parts of the Pacific Islands. Whatever its name, this spiritual stone's believed properties are one and the same: it provides protection against malignant forces by warding off the Evil Eye, it promotes wealth, good luck and prosperity, it channels positive energies, and it brings harmony to one's relationships, and wellness to your physical and emotional being. They are associated with the goddess Sri Maha Lakshmi, who is worshipped for wealth and fortune. Gomti chakras are known to provide many helpful health benefits such as an aid in restful sleep, digestive problems, or low blood pressure. They are also beneficial for pregnant women as they may help with a smooth pregnancy. The history of Gomti Chakra is deeply rooted in Indian mythology and Vedic astrology. According to legend, the stones are believed to have originated from the Gomti River near the sacred city of Dwaraka. Over time after the river dried up, it left behind the stones, which are composed of calcium carbonate, forming and creating natural chakras. Due to their distinctive shape resembling a wheel, Gomti Chakras are powerful talismans used to invoke blessings and protection in various religious rituals and ceremonies. Also referred to as the Eye of Shiva, Gomti Chakra stones symbolizes the creation, destruction and preservation of all the flows of life, spiritual knowledge and the constant change towards the creative visualization. Considered to be the representation of the Third Eye of Shiva, the stone imbibes a positive effect on one's pranic energy flow of the human body. In addition to watching over the wearer, it is a symbol of knowledge and wisdom, its swirl manifesting transition, development and movement. Each spiral is similar in pattern, however, each one is unique. The stone's pattern is actually a protective covering which lies at the maw (opening) of the shell of the Turban conch snail. Its color is always creamy white, yet its beautiful swirl color will vary depending on the snail's diet. Friday is considered the best day to wear Gomti Chakras because Friday is associated with Venus, which is the planet of love and beauty. If you are planning to wear a Gomti Chakra ring, you can wear it on any finger.

RED TIGER'S EYE GEMSTONE: Known as the "survival stone", Red Tiger Eye is closely associated with the Root Chakra due to its strong grounding energy that keeps the physical body connected to the Earth's healing powers. Balancing and empowering, the Root energy enhances confidence and self-esteem and boosts motivation and vitality. The healing powers of Red Tiger Eye are believed to be especially effective against blood disorders. Red Tiger Eye says "I am moving forward in my life with newfound enthusiasm."

LOTUS POND UNAKITE: Unakite maintains a strong connection with the Heart Chakra as it is thought to create emotional energy balance. It is also known to stimulate the compassion and empathy of the wearer, thereby encouraging gratefulness. This rock "stone of vision" is also closely associated with the Third Eye Chakra for its use in promoting spiritual ascension. It is also believed to affect the reproductive system, healthy pregnancy and the growth of skin and hair by creating connection to the divine feminine.

HEMATITE: Spiritually, Hematite has a magnetic nature which makes it perfect for Yin-Yang(Male/Female) energies. Hematite will bring balance to a person's physical and etheric bodies. Hematite is one of the best crystals you can utilize if you want to harness the power of Earth to dispel negativity and lend you strength. It is associated with the root chakra, and by unblocking this chakra, the stone will nurture your desires and most basic needs. Hematite will keep you secure, stable and balanced.

♡ CARE INSTRUCTIONS ♡ 
Your stretch bracelet is handcrafted to be strong and lasting, but the elastic, stones, and beads are not eternal. Likewise, almost all metal discolors over time. Therefore, gold and silver plating – known for its beauty and affordability – requires care. You can prolong the finish of your jewelry as well as the vibrancy of your gemstones by following these simple tips:
> DO NOT GET YOUR BRACELET WET ~ Keep your jewelry away from moisture. It is best to remove your bracelet before washing your hands, showering, exercising and swimming since contact with moisture can break down the elastic, ruin finishes and tarnish metals and charms. 
> AVOID CONTACT WITH CHEMICALS ~ Perfume, soap, moisturizer, lotion, hand sanitizer or other chemicals can weaken the elastic, harm natural crystals and result in the discoloration and peeling of beads and gemstones. Be careful.
> AVOID HEAT EXPOSURE ~ Leaving your bracelet in sunlight or exposed to heat for an extended period of time may lead to elastic erosion and can cause beads and metal to discolor. Remove your bracelet while exercising.
> ROLL IT ON AND OFF ~ Do not over-stretch your bracelet! It has been made with pre-stretched elastic. Over-stretching it beyond its capacity will cause it to break. To keep from overly stretching it to put it on and off, slide your fingers into the bracelet first, then gently roll the beads over your knuckles and then onto your wrist. Do the same when taking your bracelet off.
> STORE SAFELY ~ Always store your jewelry safely in a soft pouch, soft cloth – or secure in a box or drawer – separate from other jewelry. Never wear your jewelry to bed and remove when sleeping. Use a soft microfiber cloth to polish.
