Meaning, material & care
The details behind this piece.
Its centre of gravity is the bodhi seed, a warm matte seed bead with a fine natural grain and slight variation in size. Physically it is a strand that sits at the wrist. The piece belongs to Dolma Designs, a series using compassion and quiet courage as contemporary design themes. The lotus appears as layered overlapping petals. It is a long-standing motif across Buddhist visual culture, used here for its symmetrical, unfolding geometry.
Material behaviour explains most of what happens to a piece after a year of wear, so it is worth being specific. Bodhi Seed is a different case in wear: it lightens and takes on a soft sheen with handling, which is part of how these strands age.
The strand is offered in two wrist ranges, from 5.5–5.9 in (14–15 cm) to 5.5–5.9 in (14–15 cm). Both options are made to the same visual proportions, so the choice is about fit rather than look. The warm reading of this design is symbolic; the meaning it holds is the wearer’s. Because these are natural materials, expect small differences in colour and pattern between the photo and your piece. Final measurements, availability and the preparation window are all confirmed in writing before payment.
Care
Keep it dry and out of prolonged sun, and avoid oils or cleaners on the surface. Avoid soaking it, and keep perfume and household cleaners off the surface. Store the piece separately so it does not scratch against harder jewellery.
