Black & White Mandala Pendant Necklace

This sand-carved Black and White Mandala Pendant Glass Necklace is by Jeri Warhaftig.

Traditionally, a mandala is a geometric design or pattern that represents the cosmos or deities in various heavenly worlds. In the ancient Sanskrit language of Hinduism and Buddhism, mandala means “circle.” “It's all about finding peace in the symmetry of the design and of the universe,” says artist Saudamini Madra.

The pendant's bevel and the 18″ chain are sterling silver, and the piece comes with the artist's card. Jeri makes the pendant with Bullseye Glass and enamel and sandblasts the design into the surface.
