A pentagram, or five-pointed star, has always had mystical associations with the number 5, especially as it relates to nature or the human body:just think of five fingers on each hand, five toes on each foot,the five arms of a starfish or five-pointed leaves.

When a pentagram is enclosed by a circle, as this one is, it is regarded as a 'pentacle', which has further meaning, such as: The earth, the cyclic nature of life, infinity, and harmony.

This necklace takes it a step further by introducing the moon, another circle, with its cyclic phases of waxing and waning. The phases are done in a way that retains the entire round shape of the moon, so the overall effect of the necklace is almost like a small solar system of planets circling the pentagram star.

Symbolically speaking, this necklace has great cosmic harmony.

A light application of antique blacking helps to emphasize the lunar phases and the two circular rope-like borders.
