As seen in Black Swan: The lotus flower is the heart's inner shrine. It is the symbol of creation and manifestation in the Hindu religion: "...and from her belly button grew a lotus flower and out of the lotus the creation of the world." These recycled sterling silver lotus petal-shaped earring drops are lightweight, comfortable and perfect for everyday wear. Petals drop approximately 1/2 of an inch from the ear and measure 3/8 by 1/4 of an inch.
