While taking frequent trips to India with her husband, Linda Singh became fond of the unique artisan jewelry she found at local shops in Jaipur. Singh realized that these beautiful pieces could not be found anywhere else and decided to launch Sitara Collections to feature these exotic handmade accessories. Each piece featured on the site is hand crafted from .925 sterling silver and adorned with semi-precious gems. With every order, the Sitara Collections donates part of the net proceeds to a school in India from her husband’s ancestral village.
   
Amethyst is a variety of quarts and is said to bring clarity to its wearer when making decisions. The exquisite Amethyst Chandeliers are filled with clusters of shimmering amethyst stones. These chandeliers contain dozens of dazzling round bezel set amethysts that sway with every move. The earrings contain a french wire hook and are made from sterling silver. Buy through Sitara Collections for $78 $62.40.
