Talisman - a derivative of the arabic word tilasm but probably originated in ancient Greece from the Greek word telesma or talein which meant "to Consecrate." A Talisman consists of any object intended to bring good luck and/or protection to its owner. These Talisman are a joy to wear. The talismanic disk is inset into solid pewter to form a heavy medallion and photographs can't really do them justice. Each Talisman comes in its own presentation box.
