Explore our new selection of charm designs, including fresh astrological Constellation pieces, Zodiac Charms, religious symbols, and unique Talisman charms such as the Ankh Cross, Endless Knot, and Hand of Fatima. These additions complement the existing Pragnell Charms Collection, which already includes Zodiac signs, Birthstones, Initials , and Ingots.
Pragnell charms are renowned for timeless themes and exceptional designs. They pair perfectly with one of our gold chains, allowing you to wear and personalise your charms in your own style.
Ankh Symbol
The Ankh, originating around 3000 BC in ancient Egypt, symbolises life and protection, known as the "key of life." Today, it's worn as a talisman for vitality and positivity, available in plain gold or embellished with gemstones for personalisation.
Endless Knot
The Endless Knot, also known as the Eternal Knot, is one of the eight auspicious symbols in Tibetan Buddhism. This intricately woven design, with no clear beginning or end, beautifully represents the infinite wisdom and compassion of the Buddha.
Constellation
The latest Constellation Charms represent the 12 astrological signs, embodying the unique star patterns of the constellations along the ecliptic. This path showcases the Sun's journey, emphasising the distinctive traits associated with each zodiac sign.
Symbolic
New charm designs include the Cross, the Star of David, and the Hand of Fatima. The Hand of Fatima, originating from an ancient city in the second millennium BCE, is a talisman believed to ward off evil and bad luck, often featuring the evil eye.
Style Your Way
All Pragnell charms are designed to be easily attached to your chosen chain, allowing for personalised layering and styling. Wear your own charm for a personal connection or that of a loved one, or style and stack multiple designs together for a bold, vintage-inspired look. Each handmade charm features a dedicated central hoop that holds the charm, or charms, in the perfect position – further secured by the oval-shaped clasps that ensure they do not twist when worn.
The Test of Time
Charms have their origins in Ancient Egypt, where Pharaohs crafted talismans from materials believed to possess protective properties, such as shells and gemstones. Over time, the significance of charms evolved; by the Roman era, they had come to symbolise loyalty to various religious groups.
In the 18th century, charms became a fashionable way to express one's personality and showcase family crests. Their popularity continued to grow throughout the 20th century, establishing them as essential items in jewellery collections.
The Pragnell Charms Collection draws inspiration from the extensive assortment of vintage and period jewellery that the Pragnell family has lovingly curated over the years.
Ancient Crafting Method
Pragnell demonstrates its commitment to preserving the art of artisanal jewellery craftsmanship in our British workshops. Our creations, such as the Ankh Cross, Pragnell Zodiac Charms, and various symbols within the Medallion collections, are meticulously crafted using the lost-wax casting method.
This technique enables us to produce duplicate metal sculptures from an original wax model, allowing for the precise reproduction of delicate details by making multiple copies from a single mould. It results in beautifully crafted three-dimensional charms with a texture reminiscent of an ancient coin, as seen in the newly designed, delicate, rectangular Zodiac Charm and the original Pragnell Zodiac disc charm, both available in rich yellow gold.
