Symbolism of the lotus flower

The lotus flower represents a Buddhist metaphor. This beautiful flower blossoms in the middle of swamps, which represents the possibility for any individual to reach enlightenment, whatever his or her starting environment. The lotus draws its beauty from the darkness of the mud, which makes a reference to the Buddha who decided to give up his life of prince after seeing the old age and the death of his eyes.

The lotus flower can symbolize the path of enlightenment:
• roots, purely material and below the surface of the water.
• leaves that open with the day above the surface of the water.
• Finally, the majestic flower that emerges from the heart and could be assimilated to enlightenment.

The material of your necklace

Golden jewelry Omyoki are made of brass, treated with a thin protective layer. They are not gold plated because plating rarely lasts over time. Simple brass will tarnish over time, but a simple wipe with lemon or jewelry cleaner will keep it looking shiny for years. Here's how maintain your golden jewelry.

Brass or "yellow copper" is a metal alloy mainly composed of copper and zinc. Easy to work, and inexpensive, it is used in many areas, including jewelry. Brass is a very sturdy alloy, which fits in the long term. Indeed, a brass finery is resistant to both corrosion and salt water. Brass has been used in jewelry for hundreds of years. It is mainly the Indian artisans who initiated this practice, which became common later. Becoming very trendy today, brass jewelry has become a must.
