What types of pendant necklaces does Awe Inspired offer?

Awe Inspired offers several styles of pendant necklaces: the signature Goddess Pendants (double-sided with a deity figure and sacred symbol), Mini Goddess Pendants (smaller everyday versions), Zodiac Goddess Pendants (featuring constellation designs), Amulet Pendants (protective talisman designs), and Affirmation Pendants (with empowering messages). All are crafted in gold vermeil and sterling silver.

Can you layer Awe Inspired pendant necklaces?

Yes — layering is encouraged. Awe Inspired designs pendants at complementary chain lengths specifically for layering. Popular combinations include pairing a full-size Goddess Pendant with a Mini Goddess Pendant, combining a Zodiac Pendant with an Amulet, or stacking multiple Mini Goddess Pendants at different lengths. The brand also offers chain necklaces designed as layering companions.

What makes Awe Inspired pendants unique?

Awe Inspired's signature double-sided design sets their pendants apart — each goddess pendant features a hand-sculpted deity on one side and her sacred symbol on the reverse, so the meaning is personal to the wearer. Founded by three-time cancer survivor Jill Johnson, every pendant carries a story of strength and empowerment, and comes with a card explaining the mythology behind the design.

How do I choose a pendant necklace as a gift?

Start with what the recipient connects with most: their zodiac sign (Zodiac Pendants), a goddess whose qualities they embody (Goddess Pendants), a protective symbol they need (Amulet Pendants), or a personal mantra (Affirmation Pendants). The Goddess Quiz at aweinspired.com can match a personality to the perfect goddess. All pendants ship beautifully packaged with a mythology card explaining the meaning.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Materials

What is gold vermeil, and how is it different from gold-plated jewelry?
Gold vermeil is a thick layer of 14k gold bonded to a base of solid sterling silver. Unlike gold-plated jewelry, which uses a thin layer of gold over brass or steel, vermeil has the weight, richness, and durability of fine jewelry. It looks and feels like solid gold and holds up beautifully over time with proper care.

Will Awe Inspired jewelry tarnish or turn my skin green?
No. Our jewelry is made only with precious metals like sterling silver and 14k gold vermeil. We never use cheap base metals that can flake, tarnish, or discolor your skin. Our pieces are hypoallergenic and made to last.

Why is Awe jewelry more expensive than other brands I see online?
We use higher quality materials and traditional craftsmanship to create jewelry that holds lasting value. That includes solid sterling silver, thick 14k gold vermeil, and natural gemstones. Each piece is designed in-house and carefully made by skilled artisans. You are not just paying for the look, you are investing in real craftsmanship and ethically sourced materials.

Where is your jewelry made?
Our designs begin in Los Angeles and are brought to life by expert jewelers in Thailand, Italy, and the United States. These partners are long-time collaborators who specialize in fine jewelry and share our commitment to quality and responsible production.

What makes your materials “ethical”?
We only work with partners who meet high standards for labor practices and environmental care. Our gemstones are sourced through trusted suppliers who prioritize transparency and sustainability. Our founder, Jill Johnson, has spent decades building these relationships to ensure integrity at every step.

Are your gemstones real?
Yes. We use only genuine natural gemstones. You will never find glass, resin, or synthetic stones in our pieces. Each stone is chosen for its natural beauty and symbolic significance.

Care

How do I care for my Awe jewelry?
To protect your jewelry, avoid contact with perfume, lotion, and water whenever possible, exactly like you would with solid gold pieces. Gently polish with the cleaning cloth included free in your order, and store in a dry, cool place. With the right care, your pieces will last for many years.

Can I wear it every day?
Yes. Our jewelry is designed for everyday wear. 14k gold vermeil and sterling silver are durable, but like all fine jewelry, they do best with a little care and attention.
