The lotus flower is the heart's 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." Delicate recycled sterling silver lotus petals hang from a long and sexy silver chain, with a sturdy quick release closure. An elegant and classic necklace that shimmers beautifully at night yet is delicate enough to wear during the day and measures 46 inches in length.
