The Lotus Flower

One of the latest additions to the De Beers Enchanted Lotus collection is a diamond ring ‘where delicate lotus flowers are woven into hearts with infinite threads of diamonds‘ as seen on Vogue.com. This is a truly gorgeous ring, with intricate details and 1.41 carats of dazzling diamonds.
The lotus flower represents purity and virture as the divine symbol in ancient Asian tradition. The flower grows from the mud but it is unstained, which holds a spiritual promise. For the Hindus, it represents the god Vishnu and goddess Lakshmi, with Vishnu being described as the ‘Lotus Eyed-One’ with the unfolding petals suggesting the expansion of the soul. For the Buddhists, the Buddha is also represented on a pink lotus flower.
