Jayashree Paramesh - Lotus Necklace

Lotus Necklace

Lotus flowers exude beauty and grace. In Buddhist and Hindu philosophy, the lotus is considered a sacred flower. Lotus symbolizes new beginnings and infinite potential. Because the lotus rises from unclean water at sunrise to blossom as a pure, uncontaminated flower, it is a symbol of purity and resurrection. The bud of the lotus symbolizes potential, specifically of a spiritual nature.

Lotus Necklace celebrates the beauty, strength, and grace of the lotus blossom. The large pendant is inspired by the lotus blossom, stitched with sparkling crystals, pearls, and seed beads. The rope is inspired by the lotus vine and it is finished with a small lotus bud at each end. The spiral rope is finished with an embellished tassel and sliding strap which makes the necklace length adjustable.

Length: 25” rope, without including pendant drop.  Pendant: 1 ¾” by 4 ½”
