The Pali word "meta" means loving kindness, an unconditional love and empathy that accepts all living things. This sterling silver Pi disc necklace is finely engraved with a perfect lotus and the words of the beautiful Buddhist metta prayer, which resonates not only with those who practice Buddhism, but with those of us who love "all beings", animals, as well as people:
May all beings be peaceful.
May all beings be happy.
May all beings be safe.
May all beings awaken to the light of their true nature.
May all beings be free.
May all beings be happy.
May all beings be safe.
May all beings awaken to the light of their true nature.
May all beings be free.
Laurel Elliott's Pi Disc is a modern interpretation of the ancient Chinese form of a circle within a circle, an enduring symbol of nobility, purity, constancy and eternity. The circle having no end is itself a symbol of infinity. The chain can be knotted on the disc or simply slipped through the open circle. It can also be used without a chain at all, as a touchstone or keepsake for the pocket, desk or nightstand.
Pi Disc is 1 1/4" in diameter. Chain length is 20" or 18" when knotted through the disc.
Composed of .925 solid sterling silver.
Gift packaged with black drawstring bag and story card.

DVB utilizes the "cire-perdue" or lost-wax casting method of jewelry creation. Lost-wax casting is actually an ancient method of jewelry production used in creating the finest jewelry. Owing to the nature of the technique and the hand finishing of each casting, small variations in dimension, weight and finish will occur.
