I love this necklace... so much that I'm probably including too many photos. However, as you can see, the colors change depending on the light and surroundings. There's a passionate energy to this rose mauve piece.
It definitely begins with this exquisite hand carved Mother of Pearl lotus flower. Generous in size and shimmering with irridescent color: from deep, rich rose to mauve. I dangled it from a pale rose mauve chubby bead of Rainbow Fluorite. The necklace is composed of amazing Freshwater Pearls and some more of the Rainbow Fluorite, accented with gold. I hand wire wrapped all these beautiful beads with gold jewelery's wire.
This is a dramatic necklace, yet decidedly feminine. That's as it should be, since the lotus flower symbolizes birth and rebirth; purity and enlightenment. It is also a symbol for fertility and creation. This is a necklace that would make a spectacular gift for your beloved.

As a lotus flower is born in water, grows in water, and rises our of water, to stand above it unsoiled, so I, born in the world, raised in the world, having overcome the world, live unsoiled by the world. Buddha |
