When I founded Common Era, I was drawn not only to the beauty of ancient adornment, but to jewelry’s power as a conduit—to guard, to guide, to carry meaning unseen. The Esoterica collection emerged from that calling: amulets and talisman jewelry rooted in real arcane traditions, symbols passed down through Gnostic wisdom, protective rituals, and pages of magical lore that have survived the ages.
Scarabs: Ancient Symbols of Rebirth
The scarab beetle, a symbol of resurrection in ancient Egypt, is one of our oldest protectors. In Esoterica, the scarab is rendered in solid gold tactile enough to hold. Whether worn as a ring or a stud, it is more than adornment—it is a daily reminder that we can rise again, even from the smallest beginnings.
Sator Squares: Words of Power in Gold
The Magic Sator Square, a cryptic Latin palindrome historically used as a charm against harm, appears across our collection as rings, signets, and pendants. To wear it is to turn a word into a shield—an enchantment both subtle and steadfast.
Gnostic Healing Amulets: Symbols from Hidden Texts
Inspired by the hidden texts of Gnostic tradition, the Gnostic Magical Healing Amulet and Ancient Fertility Amulet feature sacred spells glyphs meant to foster healing. Crafted in gold to feel like a relic from a temple, they carry the soft echo of whispered healing prayers in every curve.
Esoteric Origins
I created Esoterica because I wanted more than jewelry—I wanted symbols to carry. Each design draws from well-researched traditions, from talismanic scarabs to palindromic spells, and transforms them into heirloom-quality pieces. Crafted in recycled gold, these amulets and talismans are meant to live with you, not just adorn you.
Why Choose Amulets and Talisman Jewelry?
In an age of noise, symbols offer clarity. A scarab whispers of renewal. A Sator Square promises protection. A Gnostic glyph seeks healing. Wearing them is an invitation to hold something timeless close—an anchor in the visible and invisible tides.
Esoterica is more than a collection; it is jewelry spun from belief. It is to wear a shield, a prayer, a story that began long before your life—and will, perhaps, live on long after. When you choose Esoterica, you carry not just gold, but centuries of whispered wisdom.
