Lotus Flower sterling silver Earring jewelry

Feel unique by wearing our Lotus Flower sterling silver Earring. The Lotus flower was one of the most important religious Egyptian Symbols in the mythology of ancient Egypt. Egyptians used the lotus as a symbol in ancient Egyptian art representing the sun, of creation, rebirth and was a symbol of Upper Egypt. As a symbol of the sun it is closely associated with Atum-Ra, the Sun god and later with Nefertum, lotus god of perfume. Lotus flowers, also called water lilies, open in the morning and close again at night symbolizing rebirth and regeneration. The lotus flower, water lily, was also used to symbolize the deceased upon entering the underworld and the process of rebirth, regeneration and reincarnation.

You can find the Lotus Symbol, or motif, in honored places throughout Egypt. On the architecture, especially on the capitals of Egyptian pillars. Also in the tomb Hieroglyphics, papyrus, on thrones, headdresses of the divine pharaohs.

It grows in muddy swamps. The flower extends out of the water and blossoms into fifteen white or pink oval shaped spreading petals. At its center is a curious flat seedcase. It is both ornamental and sweet smelling.

Furthermore, Egyptians chose most of the materials not just because their colors created a particular effect. But because colors for the Egyptians had an underlying symbolism or amulet significance.

Dark blue was the color of the all-embracing, protective night sky, of lapis lazuli- and of the deep-blue glazed composition and glass made to imitate it. Curiously enough the Late Dynastic Period used, khesbed, the principal word for lapis lazuli, like the word for turquoise, as a synonym for ‘delight’.

Like all our other exquisite jewelry, this earring is handcrafted, highly detailed, top quality & made to last a lifetime. Furthermore it bears the 925 silver stamp for authenticity purposes.
