Boston Museum Of Fine Arts Lotus Blossom Earrings

I absolutely love these sweet lotus blossom earrings done in Sterling silver with dangling purple pearls.  These earrings are marked "MFA" and are made by the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and sold at their exclusive gift shop.  Current MFA designs can also be purchased through their online store.  I may have to keep these for myself!

According to http://www.holisticaroma.com/, "The lotus was of great significance to many ancient cultures, and in particular to the Eastern religions.  From ancestral times, the lotus regularly appears as a symbol of purity, peace, transendence, enlightenment, rebirth, beauty, and fertility."     

       

Feel free to contact me if you are interested in purchasing this piece.  Questions, comments, and additional information are always appreciated.  My online shop on www.rubylane.com is coming soon.
