The Scorpio Alchemical Zodiac Pendant is drawn from the detailed instructions of a 17th-century alchemical manuscript, where it was described as a talisman of protection, strength, and resilience. According to the text, the sigil was to be crafted when Mars rules the year, specifically when the Sun enters the fifth degree of Scorpio, with Mars positioned in its celestial house of Aries. Traditionally, it was forged from pure iron, engraved during the hour of Mars.
This ancient seal was believed to offer extraordinary protective powers, particularly against poisons, venomous bites, and diseases caused by toxins. Its influence extended beyond physical harm—it was said to shield soldiers and warriors in battle, providing courage, clarity, and strength in moments of conflict. The manuscript also recounts the pendant’s ability to repel serpents and scorpions, driving them away from any space it occupied.
Additionally, it was considered a remedy for leprosy and other ailments of the skin when worn close to the body, while liquids infused with the pendant—referred to as potable gold—were believed to carry potent healing properties. The talisman was even said to ward off flies from a resting place when suspended nearby, symbolizing its far-reaching protective influence.
Reimagined in gold, this pendant captures the intensity and transformative energy of Scorpio. It serves as a talisman for those who seek protection, courage, and the power to overcome adversity, embodying the indomitable spirit of its astrological sign.
Why 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.

Why don't you make rings in Gold Vermeil?
While we love the affordability of vermeil, it's not an ideal metal for rings because our hands are exposed to so much wear and tear.
Vermeil necklaces can last 2 - 3 years with proper care, but we've never seen a vermeil ring last more than 6 months.
We would be wrong to sell these rings to you in anything but solid gold.
Does your jewelry come in a box or a pouch?
Both! Our packaging is made in Chicago and consists of a peach-colored vegan suede pouch in a branded box, so they’re easy to wrap up as gifts.
