Common Era Eternal Secret Ancient Talisman Necklace, never worn with tags. Details: Dimensions: 30mm x 10mm Chain length: 20" Metal: 18k Gold Vermeil Chain: 20 Inch Cable Chain The raw-look gold vermeil of the Eternal Secret tablet looks as though it were shaped by rushing water over millennia, with a subtle reminder etched in: ἀεί is the ancient Greek word for eternal, forever, always. This necklace is imbued with an awareness of that which is eternal. Like a stone that has sat in the riverbed for hundreds of years, the tenacity and hope of humankind extends long before and well after our individual lives. This talisman is to be worn as a secret reminder that this too shall pass. When all seems hopeless, allow it to wash over you and drain away, like water rushing over stones. It is not your experiences that shape who you are, but how you receive them. The poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning owned a ring with AEI inscribed upon it, which her husband Robert Browning wore on his watch chain after her untimely death.
