These items represent a fusion of astrological symbolism and precious metal craftsmanship. They typically feature one of the twelve zodiac signs, each associated with a specific period of the year, rendered in a durable and lustrous alloy comprised of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. A typical example displays the symbol for Leo crafted in a bright, reflective metal hanging from a delicate chain.
Such jewelry holds significance both as a personalized accessory and a reflection of individual identity based on astrological beliefs. Their inherent value lies in the precious metal used, offering a degree of durability and tarnish resistance with proper care. Throughout history, symbolic adornments, including representations of celestial bodies and zodiac signs, have been worn for personal expression, spiritual connection, and as markers of belonging to particular groups or belief systems.
