Eight sides for eight forms of Lakshmi. In Hindu homes, Ashtalakshmi represents abundance and prosperity. The shape is a direct representation of that.

Yes. While the octagonal shape was inspired by Goddess Lakshmi, the diamond itself was engineered using Aukera's Light Science™ principles to maximise brilliance, fire and light return.

The solitaire sits in a setting drawn from the lotus. In Indian tradition the lotus runs through ideas of purity and divine grace, which fits the thinking behind this collection.

A renowned Vaastu expert, Dr. Jai Madaan worked with Aukera on the Ashtalakshmi Solitaire™, specifically on the symbolism the design is built around.

Every pendant comes with a Lakshmi Paduka. In tradition, the Paduka marks prosperity entering the home. It's an integral part of the collection.
