| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by Pandora Young, features an intricate mehndi-inspired radial composition drawing on the ancient Indian tradition of henna art. A twelve-pointed symmetrical pattern radiates from a central lotus motif, reflecting all months of the year through its structural geometry. At the center, a genuine Swarovski crystal representing December's birthstone—tanzanite—is set amid finely engraved floral and geometric relief work. Selective blue coloring complements the crystal, creating a vibrant interplay between color and relief that evokes the decorative richness of the mehndi tradition. The designer's initials PY appear in the field. |
