Bronze Open Lotus Necklace on Gold Fill Bead Chain, #6584-brz The lotus flower symbolizes new beginnings, purity and enlightenment. Buddhists liken the unfolding of the petals to the unfolding of the divine within the human self. The closed bloom represents the heart & its infinite potential for enlightenment; the open blossom represents the enlightened self. In Buddhism the lotus blossom represents a heart opening. The flower blooms on the surface of water, with its roots deep below in mud - making it a symbol of light and beauty emerging from darkness.
