I’ll admit—I’m kind of a snob when it comes to jewelry. I’m always on the hunt for a high-end, high-quality piece that could sit in a Bergdorf Goodman display case and make my heart skip a beat. But here’s the twist: I’m also superstitious (as most writers are). I couldn’t tell you why, but for some reason, I equate jewelry—the baubles I wear on my body every day—with how things are going in my life. If things are looking up—if I have a great first date or I find $20 in a pair of jeans—I chalk it up to my jewelry. Conversely, when things are going downhill, I blame it on the necklace I started wearing three months ago. (Not to mention that I’m a sucker for any kind of healing crystal that promises to “bring luck” into my life.) So of course, I face the problem of finding a piece that ticks both boxes: luxurious and spiritually meaningful. Most of the time, it’s either too woo-woo or not quite Bergdorf-worthy.

Enter: The Element Pendant from High Light Rituals. From the moment I saw it, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. It has everything: impeccable craftsmanship (handcrafted from 14-karat solid gold), ethically sourced diamonds that feel as timeless as they are chic and a spiritual backstory that adds an extra layer of intention. Inspired by the elements—fire, water, earth, spirit and wind—its egg-shaped charm and star-diamond design don’t just look stunning; they encourage transformation, renewal and maybe even a little universal alignment (instant win if you’re into that kind of thing, like me).

The only caveat is that the starting price of $425 is far from budget-friendly. But thanks to its Black Friday sale, High Light Rituals is offering 30 percent off sitewide with the code LIGHT30now through December 2nd. It’s the perfect excuse to treat yourself—or someone else—to a little luck and luxury. Read on for why this pendant is worth every penny.

What is The Element Pendant?

High Light Rituals

First, let’s start with the materials. Handcrafted from recycled 14-karat solid gold (or sterling silver), this charm balances luxury with sustainability. Its design is meticulously thought out, featuring an egg-shaped silhouette—symbolizing renewal—adorned with one marquise-cut and five round lab-created diamonds, totaling .11 carats. The real draw, however, is that it’s set in a pattern that pays homage to the five elements: fire, water, earth, spirit, and wind.

The signature eight-pointed star engraving honors ancient goddesses like Venus, celebrating love, beauty and divine connection. Meanwhile, the center marquise diamond represents you, grounding the piece in personal empowerment and renewal. Per the brand, you should “wear this pendant to tap into something greater” where “the lucky talisman charm offers a dose of good luck when you need the support of the universe behind you.”

It’s also worth mentioning that you can choose between a 20-inch Figaro chain or wear it with a chain you already own. And if you’re an Aquarius like me—someone who loves jewelry that feels unique and meaningful—you’ll also appreciate the subtle variations in each piece that make it one-of-a-kind. 

Can I Wear It as an Everyday Necklace?

High Light Rituals

I’d argue that this is the *ultimate* everyday necklace. I’ve been wearing this pendant daily for weeks, and it pairs effortlessly with everything from my casual weekday tees to my more polished date-night looks. (See: the pictures above.) On laid-back days, I layer it with a chunky chain or two for that effortlessly cool vibe. When I’m dressing up, it’s the perfect standalone piece—simple, elegant and subtly luxurious. Its lightweight design also makes it super comfortable to wear all day—and since it’s crafted from durable materials like 14-karat gold, it can handle daily wear without losing its luster.

Have I Won the Lottery Since Wearing It?

Not quite. I’m still a struggling writer in a flex apartment in NYC, and the only numbers I’ve been winning lately are the ones on my energy bill. But I will say this: since adding the Element Pendant to my rotation, I’ve felt more grounded and confident—like the best version of myself. 

(Though, I will note that I recently went on the best first date I’ve had in years.) Maybe it’s the energy of the piece, or maybe it’s my therapist. But I’m not complaining.

The Bottom Line: Is It Worth the Splurge?

Whether you believe in this pendant’s spiritual significance or simply admire the thoughtful craftsmanship, it’s impossible to overlook the care and artistry poured into every millimeter of this design (quite literally, with its petite 14x6mm dimensions). Because of that, I’d say this piece is worth every single penny if you’re looking for luxury, meaning and quality wrapped up into one. Not to mention that it makes for an unforgettable gift—especially during the holidays—and the version I have (14K solid gold with the 20-inch chain option) is a whopping $477 off right now. It’s the perfect time to snag a one-of-a-kind piece that feels as good as it looks.
