Gold lotus jewellery – pendants and necklaces featuring the lotus motif (padma) – is a popular auspicious design in India. The lotus symbolises purity, prosperity and the goddess Lakshmi. From a small 3g pendant to an elaborate 30g lotus necklace, this design is found across all Indian regional traditions.
At resale, the lotus motif adds no premium – only gold weight and purity determine cash value.
