Vintage Zodiac Necklace
Elva Fields
We found a similar set of these marvelous vintage zodiac coin pendants last year, and the delight was no less when we stumbled upon a second set a few weeks ago. Likely from the 1950s or 60s, each pendant features a beautifully-detailed relief decoration particular to its sign on the front. Our favorite might be Cancer's goddess figure standing in a scalloped shell gazing out to sea with a giant crab alongside her, but each is wonderful in its own way. On the reverse of each pendant is a fortune-telling slogan (like "You will succeed" or "You are very generous,") a pair of lucky symbols (a four-leaf clover and horseshoe,) the sign's lucky numbers, and the zodiac's lucky day of the week. Such a fun gift for a favorite friend or a reminder of our own astrological connection based on our birthday!
Each zodiac coin pendant shows a pale gold wash over silver metal, measures just shy of 1" diameter, and suspends from a miniature paperclip chain in 18 karat gold over brass with a gilt brass lobster claw clasp. Necklace measures 16.5" in overall length and is lovely on its own or layered with a few other beloved necklaces in a joyful (and lucky!) jumble.
Note: Only one of each sign is available, as these are rare vintage finds.
