By Charlotte Lotus and Little Buddha Necklace - Sterling Silver

The Sterling Silver Lotus and Little Buddha Necklace features the Buddha of Compassion and the Lotus of New Beginnings. Inspired by Siddhartha Gautama, most commonly referred to as the Buddha ("the awakened"), this piece pays homage to Buddha, the enlightened teacher and spiritual leader who lived in South Asian, who revolutionised religious thought with his teachings on compassion, mindfulness and love. The Lotus begins its life as a bud emerging from the depths of a muddy pond, breaking free and blossoming into a beautiful and pure flower. This journey reflects a person's path to self-discovery and personal growth. Wear our Lotus Necklace and let the Buddha of Compassion inspire you, reminding you of the beauty that can arise from life's challenges.
