Metaphysical Information:

The lotus flower holds symbolic meaning within many different belief systems. For some, it is considered a symbol of purity, enlightenment, and rebirth. There are many descriptions of the lotus as growing through mud and dirty water and still, eventually, blooming into the most beautiful of flowers. To me this speaks of determination and perseverance despite adversity -- a reminder to always believe in ourselves no matter what our circumstances.

"The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all." ~ Disney's Mulan

About Argentium Silver:

Most of the silver used in jewellery (that isn't just thin silver plating) is made with sterling silver -- an alloy that blends 92.5% actual silver with a base metal (generally copper) to add strength and durability. Argentium Silver is a type of sterling silver that replaces part of the copper in the alloy with germanium, making it more resistant to tarnishing than standard sterling silver.
