Talisman Necklace 

Sliding starlight with a meaningful stone

I designed the Talisman as a small companion you can carry every day: a smooth, hand made pendant that holds intention on the front and a secret on the back. At the heart sits a luminous oval cabochon chosen for its meaning, while above it a petite pear-shaped Moissanite becomes the sliding bail, gliding softly along the chain so the piece moves freely.

These pieces are made intentionally, from the metal forged by hand in my little studio right down to the engraved details each piece is made with care and attention. Please check current dispatch times shown at the top of the page and I'll try my best to get your piece out to you as soon as possible. 

Why Moissanite?

Moissanite is often called a stone of starlight. First discovered in a meteor crater, it’s linked with clarity, guidance and the quiet courage to follow your inner North. I use it at the top where the pendant meets the chain so the piece is literally hung on light. As it slides, the moissanite catches and reflects tiny flares, echoing the way intention is amplified when we return to it. It also brings beautiful durability for everyday wear.

The story & symbolism

• Front: a single oval cabochon chosen for meaning

• Back: a hand engraved star that rests against your skin; a private compass to touch when you need to remember you are guided.

• Movement: the sliding bail lets the pendant travel gently along the chain, turning a necklace into a small ritual, something to hold, to steady, to breathe with.

Tactile by design

I soften every edge and keep the bezels rounded so the Talisman is comforting to hold. Many of us play with our necklaces, especially in challenging moments; this piece is made for that. Smooth, weighty enough to feel present, and fidget-friendly without snagging.
