{ SYMBOLISM }
Pentacle Symbolism
The Pentagram
dates back thousands of years to pre-Babylonian Sumer (~3500 BCE).
Many religions have once used this symbol ... the Jewish people saw
it as a symbol of the Five Books of Moses, and Christians once used
it as a protective amulet. It has been called such things as the Druid's
Foot and the Witches' Star.
The Pentacle is simply a pentagram (
star) with a circle around
it. It emphasizes the inter-connectivity of all of the elements. The direct and indirect
relation of one element to the other. Traditionally, each of the five angles has been attributed to the
five metaphysical elements of the ancients:
EARTH: (lower left hand corner) represents
stability and physical endurance.
FIRE: (lower right hand corner) represents courage and daring.
WATER: (upper right hand corner) represents emotions and intuition.
AIR: (upper left hand corner) represents intelligence and the arts.
SPIRIT: (at the topmost point) represents the All and the Divine.

{ SOLID STERLING SILVER }
This Pendant is made from Solid 92.5 Sterling Silver. Real Sterling NEVER contains nickel or lead. Our charms, pendants, earrings and findings listed as Sterling Silver in this shoppe are NOT silver plated or silver filled; they are NOT silver plated, or 'silver colored', 'antique silver' or sterling silver plated -- that is just plain confusing!
A Sterling, SS or .925 quality mark that is stamped directly on the object OR attached as a tag is supposed to indicate that the entire piece is Sterling Silver. According to the National Gold and Silver Act if a piece is marked or has an attached tag that says “sterling”, "SS" or “925,” it must be SOLID sterling Silver, not sterling silver plated or sterling silver filled. SADLY -- Lately many pieces coming out of different countries have a 925 stamped on them -- After we've had them assayed, however, it turns out many of these pieces are only 20 to 60-percent silver (not 92.5) -- Remember, ANYONE can stamp a piece -- .925 stamps are readily available on the jewelry making market.
Please be careful out there! -- If you would like to see how Lost Wax Casting is done, please feel free to visit our website or YouTube Channel.
We hope this information helps you when buying your Sterling Silver jewelry.
