This sterling silver pendant is 1 1/2 inches long and 1 inch across. It is open and airy but not flimsy and the same on the front as it is on the back. It comes with a black cotton adjustable cord.  The five pointed star represents many things to many cultures. One commonly used representation is of the elements- air, earth, fire, water, and spirit/mind. Encased in a circle, it is a wonderful symbol for protection and personal power.
