This solid sterling silver three-dimensional lotus pendant is a meaningful piece of jewelry! The lotus represents a heart opening. The smooth petals are highlighted against a subtle oxidation, adding to the depth. Lotus flowers bloom on the surface of water, with its roots deep below in mud - making it a symbol of light emerging from darkness. The pendant is 1/2" wide ,1/2" in height, including the bale. It is suspended from an 18" rhodium plated sterling silver 1mm bead / bar chain.
