Pentagram Moonstone Sterling Silver Pendant, 11/16 Inch

Moonstone at the center of the star. A 5mm moonstone, the stone Cunningham assigns to the Moon and to water, sits where the five points meet, which makes this a natural pendant for intuition, dream work, and lunar ritual.

925 sterling silver, polished. Silver is the Moon's own metal in Western magical correspondence, and the polished finish catches candlelight during ritual and daylight during the ordinary hours in between.

Sized for daily wear. At 18mm across and roughly 11/16 of an inch overall, it sits discreetly under clothing or openly on a short chain; the bail fits most standard chains, so it slips onto what you already own.

In Wicca and much of modern witchcraft, the pentagram is worn as a symbol of protection and of the whole self: four points for earth, air, fire, and water, and the top point for spirit. Gerald Gardner placed the pentacle on the Wiccan altar in the 1950s, and the upright star has been the everyday emblem of witches ever since. A pentagram worn on the body is the same idea carried with you.

Moonstone has a long association with the Moon in Western magic; Scott Cunningham lists it under the Moon and the element of water and connects it with love, divination, psychic work, and protection. Setting the stone inside the pentagram joins two protective symbols and adds the Moon's tidal, intuitive current to the star's steadiness. You might wear it through a full moon cycle to notice what the stone brings up, or save it for the nights you read cards.

The pentagram's older history runs through Pythagorean Greece and the Solomonic grimoires, but the meaning you carry is the one that matters. Let the pendant be a small reminder that you are whole: body, breath, will, feeling, and spirit.

1. Choose a chain or cord and thread the bail onto it. Sterling chain keeps the whole piece silver; black cord makes it quieter for daily wear.
2. Cleanse the pendant before first wear. Moonlight is the classic choice for moonstone: leave it on a windowsill overnight under a full or waxing moon. Smoke from rosemary or frankincense works any night of the month.
3. Hold it in both hands and say what you want it to hold for you: an affirmation, a short invocation, or a single word such as protection or clarity.
4. Wear it during moon rituals, tarot readings, meditation, or simply through your day. Touching the stone can serve as a quick reminder of the intention you set.
5. Recharge it under the moon each month, or whenever it feels tired. Trust your own sense of when the stone wants the sky again.

Does this pentagram necklace pendant come with a chain?

No, this pendant is sold on its own, and the bail is sized to fit most standard chains and cords. That lets you pair it with sterling silver, a black cord, or a chain you already wear. If you want a matching sterling chain, Plentiful Earth carries a 24 inch sterling light chain.

Is the pentagram on this pendant upright?

Yes, this pendant carries the upright pentagram, with the single point at the top toward the bail. In Wicca and most modern witchcraft, the upright star represents spirit governing the four elements and is worn for protection and wholeness. It is the standard, everyday form of the symbol.

How do I cleanse and charge a moonstone pendant?

Leave it under moonlight overnight, ideally a full or waxing moon, and it will be cleansed and charged in one step. Smoke from rosemary, frankincense, or palo santo works on any night. Avoid harsh chemicals and long soaks in salt water, which can dull sterling silver and are unkind to the stone's polish.

Is this pendant appropriate for a beginner witch?

Yes, a pentagram pendant is one of the most common first pieces a witch owns, and moonstone is a gentle, widely used stone for intuition work. Nothing about wearing it requires initiation or lineage. Put it on, set an intention, and let your practice grow around it.

Is moonstone really a June birthstone?

Yes, moonstone is a traditional June birthstone, sharing the month with pearl and alexandrite. Its Moon association makes it a fitting gift for anyone born under Cancer, the sign the Moon rules, and Cunningham notes its long history in lunar and protective magic.

Will the sterling silver tarnish?

Sterling silver darkens slowly with air and skin contact, and that is normal. A soft polishing cloth brings the shine back in a minute. Store the pendant in a small pouch or closed box between wearings, keep it away from perfume and pool water, and wipe it dry after wearing.
