Zodiac Medallion
Choose your sign, 925 sterling silver
A coin-weight medallion carrying your Chinese zodiac animal in raised relief, struck with the corresponding earthly branch character on the reverse.
Available in all twelve signs. The relief is deep enough to read with a fingertip, which is how the design was originally tested.
Ships with a printed card explaining your sign and its traditional associations — it doubles as a gift.
What it means
The Twelve Signs
The Chinese zodiac assigns an animal to each year in a twelve-year cycle, tied to an earthly branch and an element. It is used less for predicting personality than for noting which forces are said to be at play in a given year — and which direction is favourable. Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig.

The long version
