Pentagram of Eden - Pendant

Formerly this magic talisman was worn to win ones beloved heart and to be protected against bad luck and evil. The arms and legs of man reside in the four lower points of the pentagram on this pendant, while his head rests in the upper point of the star. This amulet therefore shows man - who has left the heavenly garden of Eden as Adam/Eve - in a pentagram by which he becomes the so-called microcosm in the symbolism of old teachings. This microcosm is a smaller image of the macrocosm, which is symbolized by God and the hexagram.
 
This pendant is made of brass which is a copper zinc alloys with 10 - 45% zinc. Beautiful pieces of jewelry which do not tarnish over time can be produced from this yellow golden material. Brass is a popular material for jewelry production, because it is very malleable and also has a good corrosion resistance even after long wearing.
