(PRNewswire) - Since their recent introduction, Chopard's divinely inspired OM pendants have received unprecedented world notoriety. Duty Free News International named the limited offering both "best jewelry product launch," and "best new jewelry product launch" of 2005.

"OM," as Dr. Deepak Chopra wrote for the product introduction, "is the breathing in and out of infinite consciousness." The sacred syllable of Hindu and Buddhist practice, OM now also resonates throughout the Western world, thanks to the popularity of yoga, meditation and various New Age philosophies.

In keeping with Chopard's tradition of funding the charitable foundations of celebrity affiliates, a portion of the OM pendant proceeds will be donated to Dr. Chopra's Peace Fund.

Four distinctive presentations of the OM pendant are being produced, each of which is limited to 999 numbered pieces. For more information, visit www.Mandalanv.com.
