The lotus flower is the hearts inner shrine. It is the symbol of creation and manifestation in the Hindu religion "and from her belly button grew a lotus flower and out of the lotus, the creation of the world." A full lotus chain, with 10K gold lotus petals, beautifully encircles the neck for a great statement chain. Each lotus petal measures approximately 1/4" in diameter and the chain is available on a 16" or 18" 10K gold chain with a hook and eye closure.
