Both occur just a few weeks ahead of daylight saving time when our clocks are adjusted either forward or back an hour.<\/p>\n<p>The vernal equinox is also acknowledged by certain faiths as the beginning of a period of new life. It\u2019s certainly true that this is the time of year when animals are most likely to give birth and green spaces start becoming carpeted in flowers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But tomorrow also marks the beginning of the astrological sign of Aries, which runs until 19 April. To celebrate all those born under the sign of Aries, Alchemy have released a new necklace based on the ancient Egyptian sun god <strong>Amon-Ra Pendant [P.656].<\/strong> This two-tone ram\u2019s head is decorated with Swarovski crystals and a delicate dropper bead, making it an attractive neck ornament that\u2019s suitable for both decadent daywear and evening fashion.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3056 size-medium\" title=\"P656\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alchemyengland.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/P6563-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alchemyengland.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/P6563-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.alchemyengland.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/P6563-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.alchemyengland.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/P6563-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.alchemyengland.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/P6563-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.alchemyengland.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/P6563-90x90.jpg 90w, https:\/\/www.alchemyengland.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/P6563-32x32.jpg 32w, https:\/\/www.alchemyengland.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/P6563.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Does this Alchemy Piece take your fancy?
