Celebrate your inner self! A beautiful and delicate lotus flower design is cut out of sterling silver and dangles from a contemporary sterling silver earwire with complementing pearl gemstone beads. Pearls are the traditional June birthstone. Buddhists liken the unfolding of the lotus petals to the unfolding of the divine within the human self. The closed bloom represents the heart with its infinite potential for enlightenment; the open blossom represents the enlightened self. In Buddhism the lotus blossom represents a heart opening. The lotus flower blooms on the surface of water, with its roots deep below in mud - making it a symbol of light and beauty emerging from darkness. This simple yet elegant flower measures 5/8" in diameter and hangs to an overall length of 2". See our Taos Trading Storefront for many styles and jewelry designs!
