When you choose a necklace online, a photograph of the pendant on its own is not enough. You need to see it worn, understand its size and know where the chain will sit. Its meaning comes from its story, and from what you bring to it.
Pendant size and chain length
The Talisman has a coin measuring 3.5 cm in diameter and an 80 cm chain. It is a noticeable pendant: the photographs of it being worn help you judge its proportions against the body and clothing. Before choosing, compare the 80 cm chain with a necklace you already own. Where it sits on your chest depends on your build and neckline.
Silver and bronze
The coin is made of 925 sterling silver and set in bronze. The chain is also 925 sterling silver. The bronze has a warmer colour, visible around the edge of the coin. The Talisman is handcrafted in Italy and weighs approximately 26 g, including the chain. [1]
The meaning you give it is yours
One side shows the two-tailed Sirendipity siren; the other, the Spira Mirabilis. The siren comes from an imagined meeting between Parthenope and Tanit. For us, the spiral represents the possibility of changing while staying true to yourself. You might choose the coin for this story, to remember someone, or simply because you enjoy wearing it. The meaning you give it is yours.
The Talisman product page includes photographs, materials and measurements. Look at them together before deciding.
