Tibetan Lotus Jewelry

The lotus is a common theme in Tibetan jewelry. The gorgeous, fragrant flower appears in fabulous designs in gemstone rings, pendants and cuff bracelets.

Tibetan artisans love creating lotus flower jewelry because the blossom symbolizes the Four Virtues of Nivana -- Supreme Conduct, Boundless Conduct, Steadfast Conduct and Pure Conduct.

Wearers of lotus jewelry are symbolizing their spiritual life, as well as purity. It also represents liberation.

Lotus jewelry designed by Tibetan artisans is among the most finely crafted in the world today. Silversmiths and gem cutters use the same techniques that have been used for generations to create the most gorgeous silverworks and gem cuts. Many practice their craft high in the mountains of Nepal in remote villages where time stands still.

Asia is home to some of the worlds finest gems, so grand master artisans have a wide variety of stunning stones to work with when creating lotus jewelry. Jewelleries with the lotus motif are often set with green turquoise, jasper, red coral, butterscotch yellow amber, carnelian and deep blue lapis lazuli. Stunning tourmalines, moonstones, labradorites, amethysts, citrines and garnets are common as well.

The gorgeous flower motif of lotus jewelry also makes it a fantastic accessory for spring. Wear your lotus flower jewelry with floral clothing or virtually anything in your wardrobe.
