A piece from Chaya Studio Jewelry is a beautiful gift for a loved one — or for yourself! Chaya’s jewelry is made in Portland, Maine. The designs are inspired by the artist’s love of nature, conscious awareness, and Japanese art. I had the opportunity to review Chaya’s Dainty Om necklace for inclusion in my Made in the USA Gift Guide.
My Experience Receiving Chaya Studio Jewelry
I love that this piece as it inspires me to find time for my yoga practice. I also think it would make an amazing gift. The necklace arrived beautifully packaged in a soft green box with a satin ribbon embossed with the words “Serenity, Believe, Harmony, Always.”
The necklace is small and dainty. The silver pendant rests at the hollow of my throat. I like the subtle and simple style.

The packaging is beautiful and reflects a keen attention to detail.
The box was easy to open and included a polishing cloth.
I received the Dainty Om necklace. According to Chaya, the Om is:
Common in the yoga community, Om represents the divine energy (Shakti) united in its three elementary aspects: Bhrahma Shakti (creation), Vishnu Shakti (preservation) and Shiva Shakti (liberation, and/or destruction).
