Modest, yet powerful in meaning. This lotus flower has a raised cut out design and is enclosed in a circle of sterling silver, while beads of garnet accent it with a vibrant touch of color. Garnet is the traditional birthstone of January, a stone of love and devotion. 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. Crafted in sterling silver, these earrings measure 1/2" wide and 1 7/16" in length (from top of french wire). See our Taos Trading Storefront for a great selection of jewelry designs and styles.
