The Libra Alchemical Zodiac Pendant draws directly from the meticulous instructions of a 17th-century alchemical manuscript. Traditionally, this sigil was to be forged from pure silver, melted and cast precisely when the Sun enters Libra, typically around the 13th or 14th of September. Its power was believed to be especially potent when Venus, Libra’s ruling planet, was the dominant celestial influence of the year. For those born under Venus’ rule, this talisman was said to hold even greater significance and efficacy.
The engraving of the sigil was to be completed during the hour of Venus, either in the first or eighth hour of the day, aligning it with the planet’s harmonious energy. Once created, it was to be worn close to the body to activate its full potential.
Ancient texts describe this seal as an extraordinary remedy against enchantments and afflictions caused by maleficent magic, particularly those believed to hinder intimacy and fertility. Beyond its mystical protections, the sigil was thought to offer general healing properties, soothing ailments and imbalances connected to Libra’s domain.
Reimagined in gold, the Libra Seal Pendant embodies the balance, harmony, and grace associated with its astrological sign. It serves as a talisman for equilibrium, emotional peace, and protection from unseen forces, connecting the wearer to a tradition steeped in celestial wisdom and esoteric knowledge.

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.
