The Aquarius Alchemical Zodiac Pendant is faithfully inspired by the detailed instructions of a 17th-century alchemical manuscript, where it was described as a talisman of protection, clarity, and resilience. According to the text, this sigil was to be crafted when the Sun enters Aquarius, typically in January, using a precise mixture of gold, lead, and iron, melted and formed in the hour of Saturn, Aquarius’ ruling planet.
The engraving was to occur when Saturn occupied the Ninth House of Heaven, with the sigil's symbols and words carefully etched in a specific sequence. Once completed, the seal was to be applied only when the Sun had set below the Earth and during Saturn's hour, ensuring it was infused with its full celestial power.
This ancient talisman was believed to possess extraordinary virtues. It was said to protect against cold diseases, muscular contractions, and shriveled sinews, serving as a remedy for ailments associated with Saturn’s chilling influence. The sigil was also credited with the ability to preserve memory, attract favor from others, and neutralize poisons and venom. Historical accounts even suggest that venomous creatures, like spiders, would flee from its presence, unable to remain near its energy.
Reimagined in gold, the Aquarius Seal Pendant carries forward this ancient wisdom, serving as a talisman for protection, mental clarity, and resilience against external and internal challenges. It is a symbol of Aquarius’ innovative spirit and its connection to the unseen forces that shape our world.

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.
