The Taurus Alchemical Zodiac Pendant is inspired by the precise instructions of a 17th-century alchemical manuscript, where the creation of this sigil was described with reverence for celestial timing and material integrity. According to the text, the sigil was to be forged from a specific blend of copper zinc, iron and gold, meticulously melted and shaped at the exact moment the Sun enters Taurus, typically around the 8th of April. Timing was everything—both the crafting and engraving had to be completed within this fleeting astrological window, or the talisman’s intended power would be lost.
The text also advises that the Moon be in the 10th degree of Taurus when the sigil is first applied, further amplifying its connection to the sign’s steady, grounded energy. To ensure precision, it was suggested that iron stamps be pre-engraved, allowing the sigil’s symbols and words to be swiftly imprinted before the celestial hour slipped away—a testament to the importance of aligning with astrological timing.
In ancient belief, the Taurus sigil was associated with stability, strength, and resilience—qualities embodied by the earth sign itself. It was said to ground its wearer, offering a sense of calm determination and unwavering focus amidst life’s turbulence.
Reimagined in gold, the Taurus Seal Pendant captures the enduring essence of this ancient talisman. It serves as a symbol of patience, perseverance, and inner strength, inviting the wearer to embrace the steady, unyielding spirit of Taurus.

About Solid Gold ✨
Solid gold is the best option if you:
1. Want to wear your piece forever or pass it down as an heirloom. Solid gold will last for centuries without degrading.
2. Want to invest in jewelry as an asset rather than an accessory. Gold traditionally appreciates in value and can always be melted down and made into a new piece
Unlike many brands, our gold is never hollow - it is always 100% solid, cast using the lost wax method, meaning there is a lot more gold in each piece.
Our gold is 100% certified recycled and each piece is handcrafted here in New York.
About Gold Vermeil
Gold Vermeil, pronounced ver-may, is a french term for a style of gold plating that is regulated by the federal government. Unlike "gold plated" jewelry, vermeil must always be on a solid 925 sterling silver base - rather than brass - with at least 2.5 microns thickness of gold. This is 3 times thicker than normal gold plating.
This makes vermeil a longer lasting product than gold plated jewelry, as well as more valuable because it's composed entirely of precious metals.
When will my piece ship? 🚚
We keep a small inventory of solid gold pieces - please check about the 'Add to Cart' button to see if your piece is in stock.
If not, it will display the estimated ship time so that we can custom make it for you in our NYC studio.
What does Traditional Retail Price mean? 💸
Most brands sell through boutiques and department stores, where the pricing model is usually a 2 - 4x markup from their wholesale price. For example, the jewelry brand sells the piece to the store for $1000, and then the store sells it to you for $2,500.
Because Common Era sells directly from our studio, we can give our customers the same pricing we would be giving to wholesale stores.
