Gold witch jewelry is a unique and mystical style of jewelry that incorporates symbols and imagery associated with witches, magic, and the occult. This type of jewelry is often crafted from gold, which adds a touch of luxury and elegance to the pieces. Witch jewelry has been popular for centuries, as it allows individuals to express their connection to witchcraft and the supernatural. Gold witch jewelry typically features symbols such as pentagrams, moons, stars, and other mystical symbols. These symbols are often associated with protection, spirituality, and feminine power. One of the most popular pieces of gold witch jewelry is the pentagram necklace.
Alice Hoffman
For the Owens family, love is a curse that began in 1680, when Maria Owens was charged with witchery for loving the wrong man.
Hundreds of years later, in New York City at the cusp of the sixties, when the whole world is about to change, Susanna Owens knows that her three children are dangerously unique. Difficult Franny, with skin as pale as milk and blood red hair, shy and beautiful Jet, who can read other people’s thoughts, and charismatic Vincent, who began looking for trouble on the day he could walk.
From the start Susanna sets down rules for her children: No walking in the moonlight, no red shoes, no wearing black, no cats, no crows, no candles, no books about magic. And most importantly, never, ever, fall in love. But when her children visit their Aunt Isabelle, in the small Massachusetts town where the Owens family has been blamed for everything that has ever gone wrong, they uncover family secrets and begin to understand the truth of who they are. Yet, the children cannot escape love even if they try, just as they cannot escape the pains of the human heart. The two beautiful sisters will grow up to be the memorable aunts in Practical Magic, while Vincent, their beloved brother, will leave an unexpected legacy.
Alice Hoffman delivers “fairy-tale promise with real-life struggle” (The New York Times Book Review) in a story how the only remedy for being human is to be true to yourself. Thrilling and exquisite, real and fantastical, The Rules of Magic is “irresistible…the kind of book you race through, then pause at the last forty pages, savoring your final moments with the characters” (USA TODAY, 4/4 stars).
Praise
"Reading an Alice Hoffman book is like falling into a deep dream where senses are heightened and love reigns supreme. The Rules of Magic is no exception.”
—Jodi Picoult, New York Times bestselling author of Small Great Things
“Hoffman delights in this prequel to Practical Magic as three siblings discover both the power and curse of their magic. Hoffman’s novel is a coming-of-age tale replete with magic and historical references to the early witch trials. The spellbinding story, focusing on the strength of family bonds through joy and sorrow, will appeal to a broad range of readers. Fans of Practical Magic will be bewitched.”
—Publishers Weekly starred review
“The Owens sisters are back—not in their previous guise as elderly aunties casting spells in Hoffman’s occult romance Practical Magic (1995), but as fledgling witches in the New York City captured in Patti Smith’s memoir Just Kids… No one’s more confident or entertaining than Hoffman at putting across characters willing to tempt fate for true love.”
—Kirkus Review
“I was enraptured by this fabulous book, which is filled with magic and charm.”
—Terri Smith, Library Reads
“Hoffman’s writing is frank, tender, vivid, and elusive all at once. Full of sorrow and beauty and courage, The Rules of Magic is a delicious, satisfying read.”
—Heather Herbaugh, Mitzi’s Books, Rapid City, SD, Indie Next List
“I got so swept up in this enchanting story and I can’t wait for you all to start reading it!”
—Reese Witherspoon
“This is the kind of book you race through, then pause at the last 40 pages, savoring your final moments with the characters.”

Description
*25th Anniversary Edition*—with an Introduction by the Author!
The Owens sisters confront the challenges of life and love in this bewitching novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Rules of Magic, Magic Lessons, and The Book of Magic.
For more than two hundred years, the Owens women have been blamed for everything that has gone wrong in their Massachusetts town. Gillian and Sally have endured that fate as well: as children, the sisters were forever outsiders, taunted, talked about, pointed at. Their elderly aunts almost seemed to encourage the whispers of witchery, with their musty house and their exotic concoctions and their crowd of black cats. But all Gillian and Sally wanted was to escape. One will do so by marrying, the other by running away. But the bonds they share will bring them back—almost as if by magic.
“Splendid. Practical Magic is one of [Hoffman's] best novels, showing on every page her gift for touching ordinary life as if with a wand, to reveal how extraordinary life really is.”—Newsweek
“[A] delicious fantasy of witchcraft and love in a world where gardens smell of lemon verbena and happy endings are possible.”—Cosmopolitan

One of the most popular pieces of gold witch jewelry is the pentagram necklace. The pentagram is a five-pointed star enclosed within a circle, and it has long been associated with witchcraft. The pentagram is believed to represent the five elements – earth, air, fire, water, and spirit – and wearing a pentagram necklace is said to bring protection and spiritual guidance.

Gold witch jewelry can also feature other symbols such as owls, cats, ravens, and crystals. These symbols are often associated with wisdom, magic, and the supernatural. The use of gold in these pieces adds a sense of luxury and enhances the beauty of the jewelry. In addition to necklaces, gold witch jewelry can also include bracelets, rings, earrings, and pins. These pieces can be worn individually or layered together to create a bold and magical look. Whether worn for personal spiritual beliefs or simply as a fashion statement, gold witch jewelry is a unique and enchanting choice..
Reviews for "Captivating Coven: How Gold Jewelry Embodies Witchcraft"
1. Samantha - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the gold witch jewelry. The craftsmanship was subpar and the pieces looked cheap and tacky. The gold plating started to wear off after just a few days of wearing it, and I had to constantly be careful not to snag or break the delicate chains. Overall, I think the jewelry is overpriced for the poor quality, and I won't be purchasing from them again.
2. Mark - 1 star - I had such high hopes for the gold witch jewelry, but it was a complete letdown. The items I received looked nothing like the photos on their website. The stones were dull and lackluster, and the overall design was unimpressive. The worst part was that the necklace I ordered broke within a week of wearing it. I reached out to their customer service, but they were unresponsive and unhelpful. Save your money and find better quality jewelry elsewhere.
3. Emily - 2 stars - The gold witch jewelry looked cute in pictures, but in person, it was a different story. The pieces I ordered felt flimsy and lightweight, definitely not worth the price I paid. The necklace I received had a clasp that was difficult to open and close, making it frustrating to put on and take off. Additionally, the gold plating started to fade and tarnish much quicker than I expected. I wouldn't recommend this brand if you're looking for durable and long-lasting jewelry.
4. Jacob - 1 star - I regret purchasing gold witch jewelry. The earrings I ordered arrived with missing stones, and the finish was uneven. I contacted customer service for a replacement, but they were unhelpful and unapologetic about the quality issues. The overall presentation of the jewelry was also disappointing. The packaging was cheap and looked like an afterthought. I expected better for the price I paid. Don't waste your time or money on this brand.
