In May 2014 we introduced a new, modernist and simplified version of Indalo Man which you can see here - https://www.etsy.com/listing/189589230/sterling-silver-el-indalo-almeria

The Indalo Man is a representation of a cave painting found in the Los Vélez area of the province of Almeria (which is in the region of Andalucia, Southern Spain). The cave painting was officially discovered in 1868 and made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998. The cave paintings found are believed to be at least 4,500 years old and the Indalo Man is believed to be a representation of a prehistoric God who holds a Rainbow with open arms.

The Indalo Man is believed to bring good luck, health and love to those who own one and it is customary in the region of Almeria to paint the Indalo symbol on the front of houses and businesses to protect them from evil! The Indalo Man is an important symbol across the Region of Andalucia.

HOW THE SILVER INDALO MAN IS MADE:

My interpretation of the lovely Indalo Man is hand-crafted from 4mm (0.16") thick sterling silver rod. He measures approximately 3.5cm (1.38") at his widest point and 4cm (1.57") long. We think he's very beautiful!

You can choose your Silver Indalo Man (above) as a:

* pendant strung on a sterling silver chain. Please let us know the length of chain and the type of chain you would like; pictures 2 and 3 show a silver trace chain. The video and 4th picture shows a 3mm belcher chain (suitable for men!) and the 6th and 7th pictures show a 1.7mm belcher chain (suitable for ladies!). Or

* a pendant without chain. Or

* hanging from a sterling silver key ring. You can choose from a classic split ring design or a heart design both of which measure 3cm (1.18"). You can see pictures of the keyrings above.


You can also choose (above) to have the Indalo Man in a highly polished, shiny, finish or in a matt satin finish (see 2nd, 4th and 5th picture for the matt satin finish).

When ordering please also let me know whether you want the Indalo Man with 'straight' legs - 3rd and 4th picture - or with 'running' legs (1st picture).

The total weight will be approximately 25gm (0.88 oz).

As the Indalo Man is made to order you will receive a totally unique piece of special jewellery. He may not be exactly the same as those in the pictures but he will be very similar, beautiful and unique and will help relive the memories of your or your loved ones time in Spain!

He will be posted to you by recorded delivery from Andalucia, Spain, with free postage, but please factor in the time I need to make your man for you!

A perfect gift for those who have loved their time in Spain, or anyone who likes an unusual and lucky silver pendant or key ring.
