Gothic Tribal Flame Pendant — .925 Sterling Silver, Oxidized Detail
SKU: 2039
Sharp, jagged blade edges spread outward from the center in a tribal pattern — each point individually formed, not stamped flat. This Gothic Tribal Flame Pendant is all angular energy: 7/8″ wide by 2″ tall, shaped like a stylized tribal flame frozen in solid .925 sterling silver. At 12 grams, the bail curves into the design as if the chain mount itself is part of the flame, merging into the top edge.
Best Suited For
If you like tribal tattoo aesthetics in your jewelry — this pendant looks like it was pulled from a tribal sleeve design. The blade points and engraved channels mirror the bold, symmetrical patterns of traditional tribal art.
If you want a pendant without skulls or crosses — this is pure abstract tribal design. No figurative elements. Works with streetwear, rocker gear, or casual outfits without a specific subculture signal.
If you prefer flat-profile pendants that lie flush — the pendant is designed to rest flat against your chest. It won’t spin, flip, or stand away from your body. Comfortable under a shirt all day.
What Wearing It Actually Feels Like
The blade edges are smooth to the touch despite looking sharp. They’re rounded during finishing so nothing catches on skin or fabric. The engraved channels running between the blade points are darkened through oxidation, creating strong contrast against the polished silver ridges.
The pendant has a high-shine polish on the raised surfaces. Under artificial light it looks bright and metallic. In sunlight, the oxidized sections get even darker by comparison, which gives the tribal pattern more definition.
The bail is the clever part. Instead of a separate loop soldered onto the top, the bail is shaped as a continuation of the tribal design — one of the flame points curves backward to form the chain opening. It looks intentional, not added on.
The Details That Matter
What People Want to Know
Q: Are the blade edges actually sharp?
No. They look sharp, but every edge gets rounded during hand-finishing, so the pendant is safe for daily wear against skin and clothing. You can run a finger along the blade points without catching, and it won't snag a shirt collar or scratch your chest when you bend forward.
Q: Does this come with a chain?
It's the pendant only, with no chain included. The bail is built into the top of the tribal design and fits standard silver chains up to about 4mm thick, so most curb or box chains slide right through. We sell matching .925 silver chains separately if you want the metals to match.
Q: Is there any symbolism behind the tribal flame design?
Tribal flame patterns draw from Polynesian and modern tattoo traditions, where flames often symbolize transformation, energy, and protection. On this pendant the design is abstract and decorative, not tied to any one cultural lineage, so you can read whatever meaning into it that fits you, or simply wear it for the bold graphic shape.
