The collection

Three pendants, one lotus

Each is the same 1.25-inch sterling silver pendant with the same mother-of-pearl bloom. Only the stone beneath it changes.

Padma

Rising clean from the mud

It roots in the dark.
It climbs through still water.
It opens, unstained, to the light.

For thousands of years the lotus has stood for exactly this: growth that begins in difficulty and arrives, whole, at awakening. Worn close, it is a quiet reminder that the mud was never the end of the story.

  • Awakening

    The bloom that opens above the water: clarity after a long climb.

  • Purity

    Untouched by what it grew through; petals that keep their light.

  • Growth through difficulty

    A fresh start, a season of change, a piece to mark the way through.
