  "summary": "The Flower of Life drawn in polished gold wire, circle by circle, by a point of light. Loops perfectly.",
  "description": "Sacred geometry in polished metal wire, floating over a soft backdrop with motes of light drifting behind. In the drawing animation each circle is traced by a bright point of light, growing outwards from the centre; the finished pattern holds while light glides across it, then fades away and the loop begins again. In the turning animation the whole pattern turns slowly with pulses of light running round its circles. Choose the pattern (the Flower of Life, the Seed of Life or Metatron's Cube), the metal (gold, rose gold, silver or copper), the animation and the backdrop.",
