The lotus meets the light
This 10 centimetre cut crystal lotus hangs on a deep purple bead chain and feels like a small carefully made jewellery piece. The lotus shape has many faces: countless polished surfaces break sunlight the way the stained glass windows of a small chapel do. When you hang it in your window, on bright afternoons a thousand small dots of light scatter across the room, and the purple beads also shimmer gently against the light.
Why a purple chain
In the feng shui tradition purple is the colour of the upper crown chakra, the colour of inward turning and elevated thoughts. Many people choose it for places where they rest, read or meditate. You do not need to follow these teachings to enjoy the look, but if the feng shui world resonates with you, this hanging piece speaks on both levels.
Where to hang it, how to use it
The 10 centimetre length works well on a medium or larger window where it can turn freely in the air. You can also hang it on a kitchen window, but avoid the moist air of a bathroom, as the metal part may dull over time. Turn it or touch it gently and the crystals will break the light from new angles, so the picture changes with every movement.
Size, weight and packaging
The full piece is 10 centimetres long and the crystal with the purple beads weighs 111 grams. It comes in a glossy printed cardboard gift box, so you can confidently choose it as a present for a friend, a family member or a colleague. Country of origin: China. Materials: cut glass crystal, metal hanger, glass decorative beads.
Cleaning and care
Wipe the lotus and the beads once a month with a soft dry cloth. Do not wash it under running water, as the metal parts may discolour. The gift box is the best place to store it when not in use, where it stays safe from knocks and dust.
