The Black Lotus
The Black Lotus
positivity, rise above
Handmade from sterling silver and 18k gold, the Black Lotus blooms above the mud into the world's most beautiful flower. Its petals are carved from mother of pearl and delicately scrimshawed by hand. The necklace is reversible - showing the black onyx stone on the back - and beaded with natural black sapphires. The lotus represents our ability to rise to our best potential, no matter what situation we are mired in, and reminds us to begin each day with positivity. It measures 1.2" x 1.4".

Each goddess necklace is signed on the bottom by the artist with an easy-to-use sterling silver and gemstone box clasp. The standard beaded length is 19" but can be strung to any length.
The lotus is one of my favorite symbols because it truly means that each day is a new chance to rise. I personally struggle with positivity and patience, and so I use this flower in many of my necklaces to give myself hope that, with time, I can learn to look at the world with new eyes. In the words of the great Sufi poet Rumi, the lotus invites us to “Come, come, whoever you are, wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving, it doesn't matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair. Come, even if you have broken your vow a hundred times. Come, come again, come.”
