This piece draws from the long tradition of Gnostic magical gemstones, which were believed to hold the power to protect, heal, and guide the wearer through esoteric wisdom. These gemstones were often inscribed with complex symbols, divine figures, and sacred prayers, blending Egyptian, Greco-Roman, and Near Eastern iconography. Gnosticism itself emphasized secret knowledge (gnosis) that could transcend the material world, offering spiritual liberation.
The design of this amulet is based on a 3rd-century artifact which exemplifies these principles. At its center is Horus-Harpocrates, the god of silence and protection, seated on a lotus blossom, symbolizing rebirth and purity. The lotus is flanked by Anubis, the guardian of the dead, and a mummiform deity entwined with a serpent, representing regeneration and immortality. The three figures are set within a sacred barque, a vessel of cosmic journey, adorned with the heads of Helios (the sun) and Selene (the moon), invoking celestial protection and balance.
The prayer inscribed around the circumference of the amulet, in ancient Greek, reads: “Protect the wearer against enemies and from disease, from all evil,” reflecting the Gnostic belief in the protective and curative power of divine knowledge. The invocation is a plea for defense against physical and spiritual harm, a hallmark of Gnostic magical practices.
In wearing this amulet, you are continuing the tradition of using sacred symbols and prayers to forge a protective talisman, blending the ancient world's mystical practices with a contemporary design meant to shield and heal in both body and spirit.

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.
