Long strand of polished beads that drops to a cloisonné elephant, its blanket and saddle worked in turquoise, red, green and white enamel inside gold-tone wire. A single banded red agate bead sits above the pendant like a sunset over the trunk. The elephant is an old sign of luck and steadiness. Wear it long over a dark sweater or a white shirt.

Meaning & Intention

The elephant with its trunk raised is a sign of good fortune across Asia, and in India it belongs to Ganesha, remover of obstacles, patron of beginnings. Worn as a pendant it stands for steadiness, memory and luck that is earned slowly.

Cloisonné is enamel poured between thin walls of wire and fired, a technique mastered in Beijing's Ming workshops. Every color on this elephant sits in its own small cell.

The banded agate above it, striped like a desert sunrise, is a stone of grounding, the steady partner to the elephant's color.

Essence & Elements

Intention: Luck, steadiness, new beginnings

Gemstones: Banded agate, black stone

Chakra connection: Root

Symbol: Elephant with raised trunk

Ideal for: A new venture, a milestone birthday, or anyone who collects elephants

Suggested mantra: I move steadily toward luck

Questions & Guidance

Does it have a clasp?

Yes, a small gold-tone lobster clasp at the back. At 28.5 inches it also slips over the head, so the clasp is there when you want it.

Which way should the trunk face?

It hangs with the trunk raised, which in most traditions is the lucky direction: an elephant with its trunk up is said to shower good fortune.

Is the enamel fragile?

Cloisonné is glass fired onto metal and wears well, but a hard knock can chip it. Lay the necklace flat to store and keep it out of the bottom of a bag.

Too big

The boxes were much bigger than I thought they would be and seemed to be lacking in the quality I'm used to seeing in your products. I have returned both boxes via UPS and am awaiting my refund.

Understated design, well made

I wanted a simple reminder to take a moment to breathe throughout the day. This ring tells me to do just that. It's solid stainless steel, so it's durable. The embossing (engraving?) is clear and consistent from one letter to the next.
