Bronze Lotus Mandala Pendant 34x29mm VNS7025 -BZ-CHRM Bronze lotus mandala pendant. The lotus is born in muck and mire. From sludgy waters, this brilliant blossom emerges. Many take these humble beginnings as a profound metaphor for life. We can choose to crawl, never lifting our heads up to the light. Or, we can be like the lotus. We can make the best of a lousy situation. Stretch out of our comfort zone, grow, and expand. In this many petaled flower charm, the lotus becomes a mandala - a visually appealing, geometric form that helps quiet chattering thoughts nagging anxieties. From its center out to its rim, this lotus mandala's symmetry and beauty is exquisite. It has a nice weight to it as well, making it great for pendant necklaces. Drop onto a finished chain, and this necklace becomes a great gift for friend who's going through a difficult transition, like a far away move, or loss of a loved one. Our bronze is a high quality Italian alloy of copper and tin that contains an anti-tarnish compound which delays, but does not eliminate, eventual oxidation. Read more about our bronze in our FAQs.
