These hand-crafted pendant earrings depict the lotus on one side and “Om” on the opposite. 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.
At the same time, Om is a representation of the Creator. Om is believed to be the sound of life, present as a vibration in all living beings and in nature. This is why the Buddha is often depicted seated on a lotus.
