This tasseled yoga bracelet with lotus charm is a lovely spiritual piece and perfect for anyone who appreciates meaningful jewelry, whether a practitioner of yoga and meditation or simply a person drawn to spiritual beliefs and religious symbols.

The highlights of this mala-inspired stretch bracelet include the following:

• A TierraCast lotus charm (made in USA)
• Honey jasper barrel beads
• Green amazonite rounds
Carved ornate bone beads (made in India)
• Sterling silver spacers (made in USA)
Pewter protective "evil eye" bead
Handmade (by me) very pale gold tassel

Also included are silver jump rings, high-quality elastic cord (made in USA), and TierraCast daisy spacers (made in USA). The length of the bracelet is 7 inches.

This gemstone yoga bracelet was handmade by me with care, thought, and best wishes for its destined wearer. It comes in a nice organza bag, wrapped and ready for gifting to someone special—perhaps yourself! 

About the Lotus as a Symbol
As beautiful in meaning as it is in form, the lotus is one of our most positive symbols. It holds significance for anyone undergoing life changes, working toward inner peace, or dealing with life's many struggles.
There are many types of natural lotus, but the symbolic variety is typically the white or pink lotus that carries spiritual importance in India and Asiatic countries. In Hinduism, this aquatic flower often serves as a seat or platform for divinities such as Vishnu and Ganesh; in Buddhism, it provides a seat for bodhisattvas. Lotuses adorn headdresses and crowns in the iconography of these religions. In Tibetan scroll paintings (thangkas), they often float through skies or on rivers. Divinities and bodhisattvas often hold them as if they were precious jewels, and indeed, in meaning, the lotus is the most precious jewel of all.

The key to this meaning is the purity and beauty of the blossom despite its origins from a seed embedded in the mud of the water's bed below. Despite the world of illusion and egocentric desires (symbolized by the mud), awareness, growth, and transformation are possible (symbolized by the blossom). The lotus thus represents spiritual flowering and attainment—a great awakening from the dark, shadowy regions of ignorance and misunderstanding into the illumination of truth, beauty, and wisdom.

About Jasper
Generally, jasper is regarded as a warmly earthy, nurturing stone. Traditionally it is believed to be a talisman. Stability, tranquility, and healing are all commonly associated with jasper. It is composed mainly of chalcedony and quartz.
