As often as I can afford (only a few times a year, really), I go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.satyajewelry.com\/catalog\/index.php\" target=\"_new\">Satya<\/a>, a wonderful &#8220;yoga-inspired&#8221; jewelry store. I walk across the slate floors and gaze at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.satyajewelry.com\/catalog\/index.php\" target=\"_new\">lotuses<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.satyajewelry.com\/catalog\/index.php?cPath=21_32\">Buddhas<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.satyajewelry.com\/catalog\/index.php?cPath=21_33\" target=\"_new\">Ganeshas<\/a> and sparkling stones arranged by color. I try on everything yummy (basically the entire store). And then, if I&#8217;m feeling flush enough, I&#8217;ll put down for a dangly, gold-vermeil-covered something-something that manages to make me feel luxe and sexy and spiritual in one trinkety swoop.<\/p>\n<p>I know there&#8217;s something intrinsically contradictory about yoga jewelry, especially yoga jewelry that&#8217;s sold in a cute boutique on a trendy New York City street. But I love the stuff. It&#8217;s organic and fancy and earthy and inspiring. And Friday brings the moment I&#8217;ve been waiting for since last December: the Satya sample sale!<\/p>\n<p>I shouldn&#8217;t even be telling you (these things are crowded enough!), but this year Satya is adding a very small sample sale section to their website. So no matter where you live, you can taste the Satya magic at less than half of retail (I swear they&#8217;re not paying me). Here are the details for you to spiritually sample-shop online:<\/p>\n<p>On December 1, 2, and 3 go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.satyajewelry.com\" target=\"_new\">satyajewelry.com<\/a>. Click the &#8220;Sample Sale&#8221; section where all sales will be final. And lovely.<\/p>\n<p><i>By Valerie Reiss.
