Our newest Ray of Light hoop earrings feature nine rays of light and are inspired by the skylight design at the International Teaching Center located in Haifa, Israel. 

Named after the lyrics of this beloved Baha’i inspired song “Ray of Light” from The Badasht Project:

O Divine Providence shed a ray of light upon this gathering that it may become illumined. 

Shed a ray of light, a ray of light.
Shed a a ray of light.

Inspired by:

“O Divine Providence! This assemblage is composed of Thy friends who are attracted to Thy beauty and are set ablaze by the fire of Thy love. Turn these souls into heavenly angels, resuscitate them through the breath of Thy Holy Spirit, grant them eloquent tongues and resolute hearts, bestow upon them heavenly power and merciful susceptibilities, cause them to become the promulgators of the oneness of mankind and the cause of love and concord in the world of humanity, so that the perilous darkness of ignorant prejudice may vanish through the light of the Sun of Truth, this dreary world may become illumined, this material realm may absorb the rays of the world of spirit, these different colors may merge into one color and the melody of praise may rise to the kingdom of Thy sanctity.

Verily, Thou art the Omnipotent, and the Almighty!”

—‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Baha'i Prayers pg. 115  

Why the number nine?

The number nine is often used by Hindus and Baha’is to represent completeness, perfection, and unity.

“So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth.”
-- Baha'u'llah
