Medieval Fortune Charm to Keep the Lover - Pendant

The letters I and G on this amulet stand for the Greek word Iehovah and its English translation God. This old talisman originates from the magic book "Key of Solomon" which is said to have been written by the biblical king himself about 3000 years ago - in medieval times this charm has been extended using Christian symbols. It combines a magic pentagram with the Christian symbol of the cross expressing the plea to God that he shall preserve love and affection in the wearer's life. According to old belief this medieval fortune charm helps to keep one's lover, to become more attractive for the beloved one and to develop trust in God.
 
This pendant is made of brass and copper. The brass, a copper zinc alloy, is responsible for the yellow golden parts of this piece of jewelry and the copper for the red golden ones. With the exception of gold copper is the only colored metal and just like silver and gold it is classified as a precious metal. Due to its softness and malleableness copper is particularly suitable for the jewelry production.
