These bronze lotus mandala stud earrings with granulation are rich in details and perfectly petite. These earrings feature a bronze mandala and a sterling silver post and backing. Many consider mandalas instruments of wholeness, healing, and meditation. In this many petaled flower earring, the lotus becomes a mandala - a visually appealing, overlapping, geometric form that helps quiet chattering thoughts, appeasing the spirit. Mandalas make thoughtful gifts for friends going through difficult transitions, like a far-away move, career changes, and loss of loved ones. Our bronze is a high-quality Italian alloy of copper and tin that contains an anti-tarnish compound which delays, but does not eliminate, eventual oxidation.
