A tiny treasure, symbolic of luck and protection

This rare and delightful little gold Indalo necklace is beautifully worked into the shape of the lucky Indalo man, recognised in Andalucía, southern Spain, as a symbol of protection and good fortune. Even today, in the small village pueblos that lie hidden behind the giant sierras that roll down to the Mediterranean Sea, the Indalo is known for its good luck qualities.

Inspire your friends to be lucky and positive by sending this symbolic piece of jewellery. It makes an ideal gift for a special event or occasion and shows someone you really care.

Dimensions: This small Indalo pendant is Gold-Filled and measures only 16mm long including the hanging bail and 8mm wide and has a tiny sparkly zirconita for the head. It hangs on a fine 16" 14ct Gold-Filled trace chain. (Chapado de oro.) An 18" chain is also available, please choose in Options Box

Is Gold-Filled the same as Gold-Plated / Vermeil?
No, it is much better: Gold-Filled is a layer of solid gold, pressure-bonded into another metal (in our case 925 sterling silver). Whereas Gold-Plating is a very thin layer of gold that is 'plated' onto the surface of a variety of other metals. (Vermeil just means that the plated item is made of silver: Nothing more; it is still just Gold-Plated.) So, Gold-Filled has a much higher value than simple Gold-Plating or Vermeil because it contains a much greater quantity of gold; and is of higher quality because of the way that gold is included: Once termed “Rolled-Gold” it has a long history - although the modern process wasn't patented until Victorian times in England. It is much more precious and tarnish-resistant than Gold-Plated / Vermeil: It does not rub off or flake or change colour. No es baño de oro, sino chapado oro: El chapado que llevan las piezas es de 2,5 micras, lo que equivale a un chapado oro de 23 kilates.

Everyone needs a guiding spirit to help them through life's challenges. Let this tiny lucky gold Indalo necklace be it. Comes gift-wrapped, like all our presents (with an information card about the Indalo) - and we can print a personal message on your behalf.
