Tiny Cut Out Design Lotus Flower Charm in 24k Gold Plated Bronze, 7656 A beautiful and delicate tiny lotus flower design is crafted in 24k gold plated bronze and would make a wonderful addition to your charm collection. Buddhists liken the unfolding of the lotus petals to the unfolding of the divine within the human self. 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. This simple yet elegant little charm measures 3/8" wide x 3/8" in length.
