Rich tones of gold vermeil and red rubies set the stage for our delicate lotus flower, giving it an enlightened mood. Given as a gift, the ruby is a symbol of friendship and love. Rubies are also the traditional birthstone of July. A great gift for the yoga enthusiast. 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. Beautiful earrings! Earrings measure 5/8" wide x 1 1/2" in length (from top of french wire). Made in the USA. See our Taos Trading storefront for a great selection of jewelry designs and styles.
