• Medium: $75 Code 538
  • 27X27mm or 1.1" diameter
• Large: $90 Code 539
  • 36X36mm 1.4" diameter

The lotus is a popular symbol for the law of cause and effect, karma, and the transformative nature of the spiritual journey. In this representation a central aum is soldered onto the center of the top layer of petals which is then textured and soldered onto another layer of petals. There are a number of variations available of this symbol. See HEREfor the Tibetan Aum lotus. This is a three dimensional piece and quite deep. Like the Kali lotus below this can be made with a 14kt gold aum and for the same price as that one. Email us for that information.

Kali Lotus Pendant, 14kt Gold Kali

• Medium: $100 Code:500
  • 27X27mm or 1.1" diameter
• Large: $120 Code:501
  • 36X36mm or 1.4" diameter

Kali, the Dark Mother is a deity with whom devotees have a very loving and intimate bond, in spite of her fearful appearance. In this relationship, the worshipper becomes a child and Kali assumes the form of the ever-caring mother. This is a fairly recent view of her. More traditionally she is the Hindu goddess associated with eternal energy. The figure of Kali conveys death, destruction, and the consuming aspects of reality. As such, she is also a "forbidden thing", or even death itself. In some rituals, the practioner boldly seeks to confront Kali, and thereby assimilates and transforms her into a vehicle of salvation.

And here she is in 14kt gold on top of a lotus. Divine. She can be made in silver for the same price as the piece above. As always, email us for more information.

Lotus with Yin Yang Pendant

• Medium: $100 Code:858
  • 27X27mm or 1.1" diameter
• Large: $125 Code:404
  • 36X36mm 1.4" diameter

This interesting design incorporates the symbolism of the law of cause and effect which is embodied in the lotus with the Tai Chi, or yin yang, a symbol that stands for not only the dynamic bipolarity of opposites but also that each "fish" (1/2 of the yin yang) is constantly becoming the other and already has a spot of the other in it. Birth, Karma, Balance, & Unity! What a symbol!

8 Pointed Star Pendant with Yin Yang

• Large: $80Code 987
  • 36X36mm or 1.4" diameter
• Extra Large: $100 Code 988
  • 45X45mm or 1.8" diameter

One style of Ninja Shuriken has 8 points, kind of like this, and a yin yang or a bagua in the center. I think that's what our customer was going for here.

Pentagram Pendant with Yin Yang

• Medium: $60 Code:674
  • 27X27mm or 1.1" diameter
• Large $80 Code:673
  • 36X36mm 1.4" diameter

The pentagram is also used in Traditional Chinese Medicine, where the points refer to fire, earth, metal, water and wood. The outer circle stands for generation, and yang. The inner circle (the rim of the yin yang) stands for preservation and yin. The Tai Chi, or yin yang, itself is a Taoist symbol which stands for the union and mutuality of apparent opposites. The Chinese elements also refer to major organs of the body, the animals, the climate, hours of the day, sounds, I Ching trigrams and many other correspondences.

Cut Out Yin Yang Pendant with Rim

• Small: $45 Code:745
  • 20X20mm or 0.8" diameter
• Medium: $50 Code:746
  • 27X27mm or 1.1" diameter
• Large: $75 Code:747
  • 36X36mm 1.4" diameter

The dual concepts of yin and yang – or the single concept yin-yang – originated in ancient Korean philosophy and metaphysics, which describe two primal opposing but complementary principles or cosmic forces said to be found in all non-static objects and processes in the universe. This paradoxical concept is the cornerstone of Taoism and traditional Chinese medicine.

This is a bit more elegant variation of the cut out yin yang. The two fishes are enclosed within a hammer finished wire rim and both the yin and yang elements are textured.

Yin Yang Pendant with Moonstone and Onyx

• Small: $60 Code:848
  • 20X20mm or 0.8" diameter
• Medium: $70 Code:849
  • 27X27mm or 1.1" diameter
• Large: $95 Code:850
  • 36X36mm 1.4" diameter

This is a heavier, "more important" (because of the stones) version of perhaps the most famous Eastern symbol in the West - the yin yang. Though many people know what it means, many don't. Such a simple design to reflect such profundity - nothing is ever completely black or white, but contains, in its heart, a healthy dose of its opposite and is also forever transforming into that opposite and vice versa. Ask the next kid you see wearing a yin yang if he knows what it means and if he doesn't, tell him!

Split Yin Yang Pendants with Moonstone and Onyx: Commitment Symbol

• Small: $75 Code:885
  • 20X20mm or 0.8" diameter
• Medium: $85 Code:886
  • 27X27mm or 1.1" diameter
• Large: $115 Code:887
  • 36X36mm 1.4" diameter

This is my favorite version of the yin yang - dived in half as a testament to relationships! We can stamp your names and date of ceremony (or most anything else) on the back if you like at no extra charge. We can even make a set once for Discordians: a split sacred chao!

Triple Cut Out Yin Yang Pendant

• Large: $60 Code:408
  • 36mmX36mm 1.4" diameter

You can frequently see the three-part yin-yang symbol painted on Buddhist temple buildings in East Asia, particularly temples in the Zen sect. The symbol appears to have originated in the Chinese Taoist tradition during the period of the Tang Dynasty (which provides the connection to Zen), although there is some evidence of it much earlier, in the Shang Dynasty. The symbol is thought to represent the "3 worlds" - heaven, earth, and living creatures - and the dynamic interaction among these worlds.

In 1995 a guy calling himself 'Quagmyr' decided that the triple yin yang would be a good symbol for the BDSM community - so he proceeded to copyright it and threatens to sue people for using it! Here's the wiki on this jerk. Needless to say you cannot copyright an ancient symbol. But he preys on ignorance and has actually made money and obtained huge apologies from folks who have used the symbol on their sites! What a shame and such a violation of the spirit of community and so much more. FEEL FREE TO USE THIS AND ANY OTHER SYMBOL AS YOU PLEASE!

Bagua Pendant

• Large: $175 Code:548
  • 36X36mm 1.4" diameter
• Extra Large: $225 Code:962
  • 45X45mm or 1.8" diameter

This symbol incorporates the 8 trigrams of the I Ching with the yin yang Tai Chi . The I Ching is a divinatory device, but more than that, it is a template for the universe representing the movement from the sophisticated efflorescence of unity into dynamic bipolarity - showing the complex variety of universal phenomena. The bagua is also an essential tool in Feng Shui where it is used as a map and placed over the area to be arranged.

King Wen of the Zhou Dynasty saidconcerning the origin of the bagua: "When the world began, there was heaven and earth. Heaven mated with the earth and gave birth to everything in the world. Heaven is Qian-gua, and the Earth is Kun-gua. The remaining six gua are their sons and daughters".

This is a piece that is made out of layers of silver flush soldered together.

According to a chakra based therapist: a chakra is believed to be a center of activity that receives, assimilates, and expresses life force energy. The word 'chakra' literally translates as wheel or disk and refers to a spinning sphere of bioenergetic activity emanating from the major nerve ganglia branching forward from the spinal column. Generally, six of these wheels are described, stacked in a column of energy that spans from the base of the spine to the middle of the forehead. The seventh is beyond the physical region.

This 18kt gold and sterling silver variant of the chakra has a slight design change in the wings and larger, 5 mm stones then the two prior versions. The stones here are amethyst. sapphire, turquoise, peridot, carnelian, garnet, and ruby. Email us for more details. Naturally, the all silver chakra and the silver and 14kt chakra can be made with wings up and/or larger stones too.
