The Story
Charlotte's New Beginning
In 2012, after navigating a dark chapter in her life, Charlotte Blakeney travelled to Ubud, Bali in search of clarity and deeper purpose. It was there she connected with the story of the lotus flower - a delicate bloom that rises from muddy waters, untouched by the darkness it emerges from. A symbol of resilience, transformation, and inner strength, the lotus mirrored Charlotte’s own journey. Moved by its meaning and guided by creative instinct, she designed her first piece: the Lotus Necklace. It was this heartfelt creation that marked the beginning of by charlotte - a brand born from intention, emotion, and a desire to inspire others to embrace their journey.
The Meaning Of The Lotus
Rooted in muddy waters, the lotus rises toward the light, blooming beautifully into something radiant and whole.
Wearing the lotus is a powerful act of self-connection: a symbol of your strength, your becoming, and the beauty that can emerge from life’s most challenging moments.
Let it be a reminder to embrace your journey; the highs, the lows and everything in between.
Whether it represents a fresh start, your inner resilience or a moment of personal growth, your lotus holds the meaning you give it.
The Evolution Of The Lotus
Charlotte has created many iterations of this beloved symbol, yet the message of transformation, resilience, and compassion stays true. From the Birthstone Lotus to the Lotus Little Buddha, each design embodies the essence of the lotus flower.
