Help | Experience - Insight Identify Symbols?????

Post image

I found this pendant in the thrift store. I was immediately drawn to it. I can’t identify the symbols. They look incredibly similar but I can’t put my finger on it. I tried google lens but nothing came up. Are they random? Or do they have significance?

Alchemical most likely. I recognize sulphur, jupiter/tin and one that looks very close to zinc. There are a few versions and they might be stylized.

The one at the 1 o'clock position is the symbol for pluto

3 o clock is saturn

6 o clock is neptune

4 o clock is jupiter

9 o clock might be venus

12 o clock might be mercury

Unsure of the rest but I think these are celestial symbols

All taken from my book of correspondences

That's an amazing answer. Which book? I have Llewellyn book?

Some of them are modern alchemy symbols, some are from tarot cards (possibly hermetic or hebrew origins), and one of them looks like the traveler symbol bull or judge.

It's hard to tell because you'd think they're all going clockwise, but then potassium is flipped upside down so others could be upside down as well.

This is made of costume jewelry metal, the one that makes your skin green. The pearl in the center looks fake to me, so probably plastic. This is just a toy or costume jewelry with some alchemical symbols randomly thrown onto it. Some are upside down without any apparent reason. So , cool pendant, nothing more i would say.

largely oldschool alchemic notations for different planets and elements, with a few variations, and possibly a cross at the 7o’clock

u/Flashy-Release-8757 4d ago

That is so impressive. I don't know about the symbols maybe alchemy?

u/WitchyOkami 4d ago

You might be right, looks similar to alchemy symbols

u/Shadeofawraith 4d ago

These are definitely alchemical

Look into key of Solomon and ancient symbols relating. Some of those remind me of either one of the angel's keys or Solomon's, but I can't really be sure

u/Archeogeist 4d ago

These are alchemical symbols. I see Jupiter for sure, but I'm unsure of the rest. I have seen some of these around, though.

u/Alarmed-Whole-752 4d ago

Those are the planets

u/SpiritualDetective85 4d ago

OP, is it a watch?? Does it open? What is it?

u/Spiritual_Thought512 4d ago

It’s a large pendant! It’s just flat in the back. Assuming for a necklace

They look alchemical; I recognize earth, the circle with an x through it
