Amor Fati Pendant

Friedrich Nietzsche would describe his formula for human greatness as “amor fati”—a love of fate.

“That one wants nothing to be different, not forward, not backwards, not in all eternity. Not merely bear what is necessary, still less conceal it… but love it.”

In Meditations, Marcus Aurelius would say: “A blazing fire makes flame and brightness out of everything that is thrown into it.”

Amor fati is a mindset that you take on for making the best out of anything that happens.

To treat each and every moment—no matter how challenging—as something to be embraced, not avoided. To not only be okay with it, but love it and be better for it. So that like oxygen to a fire, obstacles and adversity become fuel for your potential.

And now, you can carry around this powerful message with you everyday with our amor fati pendants.

The front features a burning flame, symbolizing Marcus Aurelius’s timeless words. The back features part of Nietzsche’s quote: “Not merely bear what is necessary, still less conceal it… but love it.”

We don’t get to choose so much of happens to us in life but we can always choose how we feel about it.

Hopefully by wearing this pendant around your neck each day, you’re able to take whatever is thrown at you and turn it into fuel for life.

Each pendant was designed and handcrafted in California from Sterlium Plus, a sterling silver alloy that is scratch and tarnish resistant and maintains a brilliant silver color. They are oxidized to give the background a contrast from the high-polished text and design areas. The delicate but strong chains are made of genuine sterling silver darkened with oxidation for a classic vintage finish.

Dimensions: The pendant measures 19.05mm or 3/4" wide and 31.75mm or 1.25" tall, and weighs approximately 5.2 grams or 1/6 oz. silver. The thickness of the pendant measures from 0.9mm (background) to 3.3mm (flame) with the round border being 2.2mm thick.

The chains are .925 sterling silver 18" flat curb chains.
