This listing is for one pair of bewitching silver-filled pentacle earring charms on 925 Sterling Silver Filled French Hooks.
Another
name for the pentacle is the Endless Knot. Many choose to wear this
ancient symbol as a good luck charm, or symbol of their craft.
The five points represent the five elements: Water, Earth, Fire, Air, and Spirit as the top point.
The
pentacle dates back thousands of years and was used in many cultures.
The Arthurian knight Sir Gawain had one engraved on his shield to
represent the five virtues of knighthood: noble generosity, fellowship,
purity, courtesy and compassion.
Pentacles
have been found by archaeologists dating back to 3000 BC, and were
considered a powerful symbol by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and
Romans.
