KARMICORE Ghost Coin Pendant
- Bronze pieces (Ghost Coin, Thunder Amulet):Wipe gently with a soft cloth after wear (avoids dust buildup).If it develops a warm patina (normal over time), this adds to its character—no need to polish (unless you prefer a brighter finish: use a bronze-specific cloth).
- Silver/Ring pieces:Remove before showering/swimming (avoids water damage).Store in the included linen pouch when not wearing (prevents scratches).
- All pieces:Avoid direct contact with harsh chemicals (perfume, hand sanitizer) — apply these first, let dry, then put on your talisman.

1. What exactly is a KARMICORE talisman? (e.g., Ghost Coin, Thunder Talisman)
Our talismans are handcrafted pieces rooted in authentic Daoist traditions. They are not "spells" or "magic items." Think of them as tangible symbols of peace, strength, and balance. They are designed to be a small, daily comfort in your busy modern life—a beautiful, meaningful anchor.
2. Is this considered cultural appropriation?
Absolutely not. We work directly with third-generation Daoist artisans, like Master Li, to create these pieces. We respect the original meaning of the symbols (balance, stability) while giving them modern relevance. We openly share their cultural background to honor, not exploit, the heritage behind every piece. It's a collaboration built on respect.
3. I don't know anything about Daoism. Can I still wear/use these pieces?
Absolutely! You don't need any knowledge of Daoist tradition to use our talismans. They are designed for anyone who wants a small, meaningful reminder to slow down, take a deep breath, or feel a sense of inner balance—no cultural homework required. They are a universal tool for personal well-being.
4. What materials are the talismans made of, and are they durable?
Most of our pieces are crafted from high-grade bronze or matte sterling silver (hypoallergenic and tarnish-resistant) and feature detailed hand-carved elements. They are built to last and handle daily life. Feel free to toss them in your work bag, wear them under your clothes, or keep them on your desk—they are designed for real life.
5. How can I use my talisman in my daily routine?
There are no rules! Here are a few common ways our U.S. customers use them:
- Keep a Ghost Coin in your work bag to help maintain composure during meetings.
- Wear a Thunder Talisman while traveling as a constant reminder to feel grounded.
- Place a Dragon Ring on your desk to encourage a moment of calm before a stressful deadline.
Just be flexible and let it fit your own daily habits.
6. What if I don't feel a connection with my talisman?
We offer a 15-Day "Peace of Mind Guarantee." If you feel the piece isn't right for you, you can return it for a full refund, no questions asked. We want you to truly love the piece you choose.
7. Can I wear my talisman every day?
Yes, you can! If you love it or feel the support, please wear it whenever you want.
8. How long does it take to make one talisman?
Our talismans involve intricate crafting processes. We keep a portion of our collection pre-made so we can ship your purchase to you as quickly as possible.
9. Do you offer custom services for talismans?
Yes, we offer custom design services for select talisman pieces. If you are interested, please send an email to our official customer service address, and we will guide you through the process.
