Designed and produced by artist Julie Bigger. This pendant necklace is made of dichroic glass, which has the unique property of reflecting light and color from different angles. The result is a glitter-like shimmer that accentuates the laser-etched lotus.

The lotus is called padma in both Sanskrit and Tibetan. Rooted in muddy slime, the lotus rises through water to emerge into the sun, a progress that mirrors the journey of man's soul. It is said that our hearts are like the closed petals of a lotus. Imbibing Buddhist virtues will enable the lotus to blossom into its full beauty. This is why the Buddha is often depicted seated on a lotus.

Handcrafted in the USA: Skillfully created by artisans using natural materials. Naturally occurring variations in size, shape and color may be present, adding to the unique beauty of each piece.
