Round Cut Out Lotus Flower Pendant in 24k Gold Plated Bronze on an 18" Gold Filled Saturn Bead Chain, #8146 A beautiful and delicate lotus flower design is cut out of 24k gold plated bronze and encircled in a simple round design! This lovely pendant hangs from an 18" gold filled saturn bead chain. Buddhists liken the unfolding of the lotus petals to the unfolding of the divine within the human self. This simple yet elegant pendant measures 1/2" in diameter and is suspended from an 18" gold filled saturn bead chain. See our Zoe and Piper Storefront for many styles and jewelry designs! The closed bloom represents the heart with its infinite potential for enlightenment; the open blossom represents the enlightened self. In Buddhism the lotus blossom represents a heart opening. The lotus 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.
