This ring represents a lotus bud, featuring vintage (around 1960-1970) Japanese pink coral.

Angel skin coral cabochon held by gold calyx and stem.

The lotus is one of the most widely loved and admired flowers.

In many cultures the lotus symbolizes purity and sacredness.

There is a famous line from an 11th century Chinese poem that concisely expresses its meaning: “The lotus grows from the murky mud but remains untainted.”

The lotus also has a symbolic meaning of strength and renewal.

It is a well known fact that lotus seeds from more than 2000 years ago found in an archaeological site were successfully cultivated and blossomed in 20th century Japan.

Descendants of this ancient lotus now bloom in many ponds in Japan.

The lotus bud contains infinite possibilities that are waiting to bloom in your imagination.
