The Blue Lotus Collection will immerse you in Ancient Egyptian culture through vivid colours and traditional gemstones. This collection was developed through a process of experimentation and sketches aimed at achieving a harmonious balance of minimalistic shapes and bright colours, integral to Egyptian culture.
Corinne has found herself drawn to stories of this ancient world. From documentary series to books, her inspiration flowed as her intrigue grew. The symbolism behind popular stones became a central part of each design, mixing different colours and elements to form different pieces. The simplistic bases of recycled sterling silver allow the alluring gemstones to shine, each with their own energy and meaning.
The Blue Lotus Flowers were major inspirations to Corinne throughout this collections design process. Native to Egypt, these gorgeous flowers are depicted in many ancient artworks, rituals and carvings. They represent the sun and some even see it as a symbol of the universe itself.
The collection features three sets of earrings and two necklaces that vary in their length. Each piece is comprised of a beautiful sterling silver drop shape that surrounds 3 colourful interchangeable stones. The Red Agate, Turquoise Howlite and the Lapis Lazuli. Each stone was chosen for is significant meaning, colours and complementary properties. These pieces are extremely versatile and are a great addition to any collection.
Red Agate is a protection stone which shields you from negative energies. This calming gemstone will help you feel grounded during stressful or emotional times. Something we all could use in our hectic lives. The colour red also represents the power and energy of our life blood.
Ever feel a little down? The Turquoise Howlite reduces anxiety, tension and anger while emitting a calming energy. A perfect reminder to take time for yourself and relax! The soothing properties of this stone allows the flow of positive communication and mindfulness.
In ancient Egyptian culture the colour blue also embodies the sky, water, the heavens, creation and rebirth. For this reason, we used the Lapis Lazuli which also symbolises honour, spirit and vision, providing you with the wisdom to embrace inner truths.
Corinne explored the meanings behind these colours and experimented with many different combinations. The beauty and divinity of this collection balances elegance with a touch of boho style as a modern take on Egyptian culture.
So, embrace your inner goddess and wear these stones with confidence! Add some vibrant colours to your day outfit or enhance your night look with these elegant pieces. Whether you wear them separately or all together, you can’t go wrong!’
