Sterling Silver & Brass Gemstone Ganesha Pendant
SKU: 3714
The brass Ganesha on the front of this pendant has a warmth that pure silver can't replicate. It glows gold-toned against the dark oxidized silver background — almost like a gilded temple sculpture shrunk down to 22mm × 40mm. The CZ stones in red, green, and pink are set into both the deity and the bail, so even the connection point carries color. Flip it over and there's a polished Om cutout — not engraved, not printed, but carved clean through the silver.
Built For
If you want both Ganesha and Om in one piece — Most pendants choose one symbol or the other. This one gives you the Remover of Obstacles on the front and the sound of creation on the back. Two sacred symbols, no need for two separate pendants.
If you prefer two-tone jewelry over all-silver — The brass Ganesha against oxidized silver creates a contrast that single-metal pieces can't achieve. The warm gold tone of the brass catches different light than the cool silver surround. It photographs well and reads distinctly from across a room.
If you're buying a gift for someone spiritual — At 12 grams, this pendant is comfortable for daily wear. The teardrop shape is familiar and wearable. The CZ gemstone accents add visual interest without being over-the-top. Chain not included — so the recipient can pair it with whatever they already own.
The Honest Take
The brass figure stands raised against the silver background in genuine 3D detail — you can trace the outline of the four arms, the crown, the trunk with your fingernail. It's not just a flat silhouette. The red, green, and pink CZ stones are tiny but precisely placed along the deity's features and on the bail connecting the pendant to the chain.
The back side is cleaner by design. The Om is cut through the silver — a negative-space approach that lets light pass through the symbol. When the pendant swings, you catch glimpses of both sides. It's the kind of dual-purpose detail that turns a simple pendant into something people ask about.
Heads up: Brass naturally darkens faster than silver with skin contact. The Ganesha figure may develop a deeper patina within the first few months of daily wear. Some people like the aged look — it emphasizes the details. If you prefer bright brass, wipe it with a dry cloth after wearing and store it in a sealed bag.
Under the Hood
Before You Buy
Q: Is the brass figure actual brass or just gold-colored plating?
It's actual brass — a copper-zinc alloy, not plating over silver. Brass is bonded to the silver body as a separate element. It won't peel or flake like gold plating can.
Q: What does wearing Ganesha with Om together signify?
Ganesha removes obstacles from your path. Om represents the fundamental vibration of the universe. Together, they symbolize clearing the way to spiritual alignment — removing blocks so universal energy can flow. In Hindu practice, Ganesha is often invoked before chanting Om.
Q: Can I wear this in the shower?
The sterling silver part handles water fine. But the brass element will tarnish faster with repeated water exposure, especially soapy or chlorinated water. Best to remove it before showering and put it back on after you've dried off.
