Silver Crescent Moon Pentacle Pendant - PSS-424

• .925 Sterling silver • Nickel free • Measures 1 1/8" tall, including the bail • Includes 18" sterling silver chain For a symbol with a distinctly feminine flair, this unusual pentacle pendant combines the traditional 5-point star with a delicate crescent moon. The addition of the moon acknowledges the intuitive, nurturing energies that are generally seen as a woman's strengths. This sterling silver pendant measures 1 1/8" tall, including bail. Includes 18" sterling silver chain. Copyrighted design by artist Paul Borda. Who designed this pendant? The design for this pendant is the creative work of the artisan Paul Borda. Paul works in various mediums, but typically, his creations start as wood carvings. This is a process that can take hundreds of hours, as he works to draw forth his vision from the block of wood. Once that is complete, he works with skilled jewelers who are able to translate his work into sterling silver. In this particular case, the design has been simplified somewhat to match the scale of the pendant. Is this really a pentacle? Typically, the design for a pentacle includes a circle which encompasses the star. In this case, the circle is only hinted at by the curve of the crescent moon. I'm a big fan of untraditional symbols, though, and I would argue with anyone that this is indeed a pentacle, although certainly it is different from the norm.
