This eye-catching necklace features the lucky Indalo Man, recognised in Andalucía, southern Spain, as a symbol of protection and good fortune.

Dimensions: The "classic" Indalo pendant necklace is Gold-Filled and measures 19mm long (including the hanging bail) by 9mm wide. (Height from top of arch to bottom of legs is 13mm). 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 little Indalo 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.
