Give peace a chance! This fun necklace has a sterling silver double sided peace tag and a sterling raised lotus flower charm, accented with gemstone beads of iolite. 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. The peace charm measures 1/4" wide x 9/16" in length and the lotus flower is 5/16" in diameter. The pendants hang from a 16" sterling silver bead chain.
