Slavic Sun Wheel Necklace Design
This Slavic sun wheel necklace has a circular rotational design commonly described today as a Kolovrat. Polished raised surfaces contrast with the darker oxidised recesses. As a result, the finish emphasises the individual arms and circular border.
The pendant measures approximately 35mm x 26mm including its bail. However, close-up photographs can make both the pendant and recessed details appear larger or deeper than they are in person. Therefore, please compare the stated measurements with jewellery you already own.
Kolovrat Symbol & Interpretation
The term Kolovrat is commonly applied today to a rotating sun-wheel motif used in modern Slavic-inspired and some contemporary Pagan imagery. Modern interpretations often connect the design with the sun, rotation, natural cycles, continuity and renewal. However, interpretations vary between communities and individual wearers.
Sun-wheel motifs also occur in many forms across different cultures and historical periods. Therefore, this modern jewellery design should not be presented as proof of one fixed ancient meaning or as an authenticated historical reproduction.
In addition, some sun-wheel designs have acquired political or extremist associations in particular modern contexts. The appearance of a sun-wheel alone does not establish one meaning, so its specific design and context matter. This necklace is offered solely as decorative symbolic jewellery and does not represent endorsement of any political or extremist ideology.
925 Sterling Silver & 20 Inch Chain
Both the pendant and oval-link chain are solid 925 sterling silver. The chain measures approximately 20 inches or 50.8cm. However, the position of the pendant will vary according to neck size, body shape and clothing.
Before wearing the necklace, check the clasp, connecting rings, chain links and pendant bail. In addition, remove the necklace if it causes irritation or discomfort.
Oxidised Sterling Silver Finish
The darker recessed areas form part of the intended oxidised finish and help define the design. Meanwhile, the raised surfaces have a polished silver appearance.
Sterling silver naturally reacts with air, moisture, skin oils and chemicals. Consequently, the surface can gradually tarnish or darken. This natural process does not necessarily indicate a manufacturing fault.
Care Instructions
- Remove before bathing, showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping.
- Also avoid perfumes, cosmetics, hairspray, lotions, chlorine and harsh chemicals.
- Wipe gently with a soft, dry jewellery cloth after wearing.
- When required, carefully polish the raised surfaces with a suitable silver cloth.
- However, avoid abrasive cleaners on the oxidised recessed detailing.
- Check the clasp, links, connecting rings and pendant bail regularly.
- Finally, store the necklace in its box or another clean, dry place when not in use.
Jewellery Safety
This necklace contains a chain and small components. Therefore, keep it away from babies and young children because these parts can present choking or entanglement hazards.
Also avoid wearing the necklace during activities where it could become caught, pulled or damaged. This product is jewellery rather than a toy.
