This pentacle necklace sets a five-pointed star inside a circle, one of the oldest geometric symbols still worn today. Each point stands for one of the five elements. Earth, water, fire, air, and spirit sit arranged evenly around a shared center. This pendant also marks the wearer's place within that same system. Beyond the four physical elements, the fifth point represents consciousness itself. The design also nods to the four directions and the center point, which is simply where the wearer stands.

It shows up on Mesopotamian seals and in Pythagorean mathematics, long before it became closely tied to modern witchcraft. Its geometry, five equal points around one center, made it a natural symbol for balance. The Pentacle as a Sacred Tool Within Wicca, the pentacle ranks among four major ritual tools, alongside the athame, the chalice, and the wand. It most often stands for the element of earth. Its circle binds the five points together, a reminder that no single element outweighs the rest. Pairing With Other Ritual Tool Pieces The pentacle represents one of Wicca's four elemental tools. It pairs naturally with the athame or Four Sacred Things pendant from the same pewter line. Together they reflect the physical objects found on a working altar. Styling and Wearing This pentacle necklace sits close to an inch and a quarter across in pewter. It makes an easy match for daily wear or ritual use on its 33 in cord. Care Notes Wipe with a dry cloth after wear and store away from moisture to keep the pewter from tarnishing.
