The pendant is flat, approximately 3 cm in diameter, mounted on a 60 cm fine-link chain—more discreet than our braided chains, better suited to its delicacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA motif shared by everyone\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe eight-pointed star is not tied to any particular tradition: it is found as a \u003cstrong\u003ecompass rose\u003c\/strong\u003e on nautical charts, as the star of Venus in Mesopotamian iconography, and as a geometric motif in Islamic ornamentation. This is precisely what makes it an easy piece of jewelry to wear—it doesn't say too much and pairs with everything.

In Mesopotamia, it is the star of \u003cstrong\u003eIshtar\u003c\/strong\u003e, goddess of love and war, engraved on Babylonian boundary stones more than three thousand years ago. On Renaissance nautical charts, it became the \u003cstrong\u003ecompass rose\u003c\/strong\u003e, whose eight points mark the main winds—hence its Italian name, \u003cem\u003erosa dei venti\u003c\/em\u003e. In Islamic ornamentation, the eight-pointed \u003cem\u003erub el hizb\u003c\/em\u003e marks the divisions of the Quran. The same design, three unrelated uses. This is precisely what makes this pendant easy to wear: it makes no specific claim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe pendant and its chain\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eApproximately 3 cm in diameter, flat, with each branch bordered by a fine engraving.
