ZKM Chakra Pendant Set & Custom Creation Story

Chakra Sets added to the ZEN by Karen Moore jewelry line...

Chakras are powerful energy centers within our bodies. When the energy flowing throughout our bodies gets stuck, you may feel off, not like yourself, sick or in pain. Yoga, meditation, exercise, energy work and mental focus can all help move this energy around and be used to realign that energy. What is super cool about gems is that each gemstone relates to one or more chakras!

If you are new to chakras, read this short article: The 7 Chakras for Beginners.

ZEN by Karen Moore jewels can be subtle reminders of our intentions, it could be as simple as a feeling that you want to keep going throughout the day or a way of reminding yourself to let something go. Each day is different.

Yesterday, I was all about love and happiness, I put on my light green prehnite bracelet (fourth/heart chakra) and viola' ~  I had love and happiness with me all day. These are guide lines and not rules; the potential of intention, mind and self are very powerful. Make your ZEN jewels work for you!

ZKM Chakra Pendant set is seven different gemstone pendants, one for each chakra.

Each set includes a sterling silver chain, either 16" or 18"... I can customize with 14kt gold-fill hardware.

 ...custom chakra creation story

"I am so grateful I have come across your wonderful work! You are trying to help people look nice and feel better with reminders of the energy that all of the gemstones have, and that can only create positivity in people’s lives." ...Sandra O.

Sandra, an Etsy client, wanted to add to her ZEN collection. She took some time reviewing the gem meaning page on my website.  Based on meaning, energetic quality, color and texture she selected 10 gemstones that resonated with her.

We decided a custom chakra set (well almost two) was the way to go.  After corresponding via a few emails with pictures, we came up with the following personalized set that worked for her!

April First Friday - Full Moon Fun @ Kate’s Art Studio Open House

In the company of both locals and visitors alike, I spent my full moon Friday evening in a bohemian style art studio in an old carriage house. This studio is truly a hidden piece of Key West history. Many old and new friends came out to mingle with us at the studio. 

ZEN By Karen Moore @ Kate's

Being the fortunate guest artist at Kate’s Art Studio Open House, ZEN by Karen Moore jewelry was showcased alongside Kate Peachey’s latest paintings. 


"Pretty in Pink" Conch collection and the versatile ZEN Wrap® with 14kt gold-filled hardware were the evening favorites.   





Gold is a great accent material for the Spring, it has a striking look that instantly gives that sense of richness and warmth.    


p.s. Don't be afraid to layer it with other materials, like silver, leather or natural fibers. Shown here, 21" short ZEN Wrap® with Black Agate. Visit  zkm's shop Etsy for info.

Here are a few shots of Kate's works.  

(Karen's disclaimer: my iPhone picture skills do not do justice, so please join us in person at the next open house Friday, May 4th. Studio is adjacent to the southernmost point, see details below)

Ms. Barbie & Mr. Ken took center stage :) 

Lots of fun texture and dimension.

I recently learned, a work of art divided into three panels/pieces is called a triptych.

Kate's 'friend' Louise watches over this side of the studio.

My current favorites are Kate's Island styles.  

So cheerful, full of free-spirit. Think I'll commission a piece of the island for my home!

Thank you everyone for a sweet night...until next time.

ZEN Fun and More @ Shakti Yoga Open House Party

March 30 & 31, 2012

Shakti Yoga Studio was the perfect backdrop for creative souls to share.  The tangerine walls in this studio evoke that second chakra creative energy all the way.  Shakti instructor, Karl was sharing inversion techniques with guests and helping release the stress of the week for those daring enough to take the wall of fun (that is my terminology for these funky inversions).

Ocean treasures were the weekend ZEN by Karen Moore favorites.   ‘Pretty in Pink’ Conch Shell collection and the ‘Fossilized Coral’ were the popular  selections, very fitting as we are surrounded by these elements in our daily lives here in the Keys.  What a treat to share a little ZEN and gem fun with all our guests and the other artists.

Liz Plambeck shared her Universal Pants clothing collection.  This is such a fun, comfortable stylish line of clothing.  It’s so much more than pants.  I bought a great pair of black linen pants that will be part of my staple spring collection.  I have my eyes on a unique dress (see below) and a free-style skirt in natural linen color.  Here I am, modeling that beautiful dress, easy to go from comfy day to out for the night with this design.

Popular Keys Artist, Marlene Koenig, was sharing her creative karma collection.  These all evoke such a happy, fun, free feeling! Check out her website

Music by a beautifully gifted musician filled the studio; acoustic guitar and just her voice…. (I hate to admit it but don’t have her full name, first name pretty sure was 'Leah') 

Locally crafted bags, Sack-of-Thread Designs, by Jessi were on display creating a colorful corner.  Check out the yoga mat bags on sale at Shakti, the bright colors and patterns just make you smile!

Saturday afternoon was beautiful day, almost relaxing as Liz and I shared our treasures with sweet spirit-filled women.  Loved it all.

Thanks Again Ms. Margit for coordinating and inviting me to share …to more fun in the future!

p.s. I am always conjuring up ideas for my new ZEN events…here is what is planned.
