Ganesh Hindu God Sterling Silver Locket Pendant
SKU: 3696
This Ganesh pendant is a thick, two-sided locket-style piece with real sculpted relief on both faces. The front carries a fully sculpted Ganesha in relief, ringed by clear CZ stones, with pink and green accents set into the headdress. Flip it over and there's a gold-plated Om symbol against a dark oxidized background. Two sides, two sacred symbols, one pendant you can actually wear every day at 19 grams.
Best Suited For
If you practice Hindu spirituality — This locket carries both Ganesha and Om together. The front is your Remover of Obstacles. The back is the sound of creation. Most pendants give you one or the other — this one holds both against your chest.
If you appreciate two-tone sacred jewelry — The gold-plated Om on the back against dark oxidized silver creates a contrast you don't get from single-metal pieces. The front adds pink and green CZ on top of the clear stone border. It's a pendant designed to reward a closer look.
If you collect deity jewelry from different traditions — The two-tone construction and CZ gem accents set this apart from single-metal Ganesh pendants. At 30mm × 53mm, it's large enough to read every detail on the relief but still sits comfortably under a shirt.
What Wearing It Actually Feels Like
The Ganesha relief on the front has real depth — the four arms, the trunk, the seated posture all stand out from the surface. Tilt it under light and the clear CZ border catches flashes while the pink and green stones on the forehead stay more subdued. It's not a flat medallion.
The back tells a different story. That gold-plated Om pops against the dark oxidized silver. It's a quieter side — the kind of detail only you know is there when you're wearing it face-out.
Heads up: The gold plating on the Om side is decorative — it'll gradually mellow with body contact and skin oils over months. Some wearers prefer the aged look. If you want it bright, avoid sleeping in it and wipe it down after sweating.
The Details That Matter
What People Want to Know
Q: Does this locket open up?
No — it's a solid locket-style pendant, not a hinged locket that opens. The word "locket" here refers to the thick, dimensional shape with sculpted detail on both the front and the back. There's no compartment inside, so nothing to open or store — it's a single solid piece of silver.
Q: What kind of chain works best with this pendant?
A 2.5-3mm silver chain in the 18-22 inch range balances the pendant's 19-gram weight well. Box chains and curb chains both work. A leather cord gives it a more casual, spiritual look. The bail is standard size — any chain with a clasp will thread through it.
Q: What does the Om symbol on the back represent?
Om (Aum) is the primordial sound in Hindu tradition — the vibration from which the universe began. Combined with Ganesha on the front, this pendant pairs the Remover of Obstacles with the symbol of universal consciousness. Two foundational concepts, one piece.
Q: Will the CZ stones fall out over time?
They're bezel-set into the silver — not glued on top. A bezel wraps a rim of metal around each stone's edge, so with normal daily wear they stay put. Avoid dropping the pendant onto hard surfaces like tile or stone, which could loosen settings on any piece of jewelry over time.
