1" Pentacle with Braided Celtic Band, Handmade in .925 Sterling Silver and/or Ancient Bronze w/ your choice of 4mm Bezel Set Cabochon Stone

The five-pointed star encompassed by a circle is an ancient symbol, found in both Eastern and Western cultures, and has been used to represent various aspects of human and spiritual ideals. As an Earth-related symbol, it has been associated in classic Tarot decks with abundance. Its use in paganism comes from various traditions of ceremonial magic. Each point is said to represent an element of creation: Air, Earth, Fire, and Water. The fifth element (Spirit or Akasha) is signified by the upward point. Its round shape and Earth associations make it sacred to the Goddess.

As a symbol, the pentacle is thought to have inherent magical powers. It is often inscribed on objects such as the hilt of an athame or the cover of a Book of Shadows. This shape is drawn in the air during some rituals, either with an athame or wand, to add power to the work. It is also considered a sign of protection from negative or harmful energies. When worn as a talisman it can act as both a ward of protection and a focal point for connecting with the spiritual realm.

I designed this 1" version of the Braided Binding Circle Pentacle for people who would like something smaller than the 1.4 inch version. I included a photo in the listing photos of a comparison between the two.

I offer two versions of this Pentacle, a Bi Metal construction cast in Sterling Silver and Ancient Bronze and a 100% Sterling version. Both have the same stone options.

Each of these pendants begin as a wax model which is then cast in 100% .925 purity sterling silver. The outer ring is cast in ancient bronze or sterling and soldered into place.. A 5.5mm bail is attached and the the stone setting fabricated separately and soldered into place, stone set and finished all by hand. Finally a layer of oxidation is applied to the piece and it is re-polished to bring only the raised areas back to shine to emphasize details. All of the work from the wax model to the casting and stamping, soldering, and finishing is performed by me in house at the Drakenforge studio by me personally.
