Astraeus, the “starry one” is the god of the stars and twilight, that magical moment at dusk when the stars and planets emerge. Ad astra is the Latin word for stars and constellations. Stars have long been symbols of dreams, magic and mysteries. They are one of the earliest symbols for guidance, and enlightenment, the light to lead you thru the dark.
Thru out time, people of all traditions around the world have looked up to the stars for guidance and prayer, to send their wishes to realms above in hopes that there is someone listening.
- per aspera ad astra- only through hardship can one reach the stars....
May this star pendant be a place to hold your hopes and dreams and be a little light of guidance in your everyday...

Such a lovely piece. I have received so many compliments already. Joy is such a pleasure. Thank you!
Love this necklace! It is so unique and classic! I chose the inscription option, so it is extra special! It’s daintier than I was thinking (I thought it would have the size/heft of a coin but it is thinner/lighter) but it really packs an aesthetic punch! Its lightness makes it so easy to wear! I find myself popping it on all the time, even when I haven’t planned out an outfit/jewelry combo. It’s also great for layering. Very versatile. Love working with this artist! As mentioned in previous reviews, her work is amazing and she is great at communicating. Everything arrived nicely packaged and I appreciated the tracking on the international shipping.
Item is beautiful! Arrived on time! Will shop here again.
Thank you for doing such an exceptional job with the necklace. The care that you used in creating and wrapping the necklace is outstanding. I would highly recommend you and hope to buy from you again. Again, thank you, greatly appreciated.
Beautiful necklace! Exactly as ordered.
