Sitting Buddha Single Earring
We were inspired by adventures through Thailand for this design, where we saw so many Buddha alters. This one we came across most often, and it brought the most peace. A sitting Buddha can symbolise many things, depending on his posture. Our design is the ‘calling the earth to witness’ Buddha, and represents the Buddha’s moment of enlightenment. He sits on a Lotus Flower, symbolising someone who overcame pain in this world and was reborn – just like a lotus grows roots in dirty water to rise and produce a perfect flower.

In the making:
Our earrings come in three options, depending on the design – short drop, long drop and hoop. The short drop is 15mm long from top to bottom and the Long Drop is 74mm. They’re perfect miniatures of some of our classic designs, drawn by hand and cut with a big old laser. They’re made of solid either 925 Sterling Silver of 375 9 carat Yellow Gold, finished and polished by hand. Not all pendants are available as charms, as the detail is too fine to cut (even with a snazzy laser).

CG Recommends:
We sell our earrings as singles, so that you can mix and match your designs and length of drop to suit your style. Add two to your cart if you want to stick to the same design, or check out our collections if you want to twist and mix it up.
