Designed by Pandora Young, the motif of this piece is a multicultural celebration inspired by the ancient Indian tradition of mehndi. This symmetrical composition of refined shapes and symbols creates a radial pattern with 12 points, reflecting all the months of the year. A popular image in henna art - the lotus - takes center stage, among other finely chiseled details in the center of the motif, where a colored Swarovski crystal represents December's birthstone, tanzanite. Selective coloring matches the stone, and a cheerful contrast between bright and soft tones brings out the intricate play of reliefs in the engraved motif.
