Manik Chakra Buttons — 22K Gold Plated Crystal & Ruby Wheel

A ruby at the centre of a turning wheel of light.

Manik is the Sanskrit word for ruby, the stone of kings. Chakra is the wheel — the ancient Indian symbol of power, motion and righteous rule.

The Manik Chakra set is the most brilliant in the collection. Each button is cast in solid brass and plated in bright 22K gold, shaped as an open wheel with five spokes. Every spoke and the outer rim is paved edge to edge with sparkling crystals, and the open spaces between them let the fabric show through for a light, airy look. At the hub sits a rich ruby-red faceted stone that catches the eye from across the room.

Bright gold, white sparkle and a pop of red — made for ivory, cream and gold wedding sherwanis, bandhgalas, Jodhpuri suits and Nehru jackets. Pair with a maroon pocket square to pick up the ruby.
