Eighteen-karat gold over sterling silver mandala-inspired earrings from the Southwest artisan tradition - the earring where the mandala motif, with its radial symmetry and concentric geometric layers, creates a piece that carries meaning across the spiritual traditions that have shaped the Southwest. The mandala design - representing wholeness, the universe, and meditative focus - appears in both Buddhist and Native American visual traditions. Measuring approximately 1.19 inches. 18K gold over sterling silver provides warmth and quality. Fish hook backings.
