As we approach the end of 2016 (which will probably come as a welcome relief to many of us, given the upheaval this year has seen) what better time to ponder how to make a fresh start? The new year is traditionally a time for resolve and resolutions so it’s cool to have a piece of jewellery as a daily reminder.

This double lotus leaf pendant is, according to seller Satya Jewelry, “Your mantra : I welcome this new beginning and all the opportunity it brings. I will live my truth; I will realize my full potential. Two lotus flower pendants hang side by side on this dotted chain. The lotus rises from the mud each morning, ready to face the day’s challenges. For this reason, it is a symbol of new beginnings and potential. Lotus – new beginnings, infinite potential. 18kt gold plated over brass. 18″ in length. Pendant- .8″”

This sells for USD$119.
