The 8 pointed star has origins in early Astronomy — eight lines signify the four corners of space (south, north, east and west) and time (two equinoxes and two solstices) and are associated with different meanings in different cultures. In Native American culture, the eight-pointed star represents a symbol of hope that is surrounded in a circle, called “Star Knowledge.” Ancient Egyptians recognized eight deities, four female and four male. In Judeo-Christian cultures, number eight represents beginnings, salvation, resurrection and super-abundance. This is because seven is the number of completion. (ie. the eighth day is the first day of a new seven-day-week). The Babylonian symbolism features goddess Ishtar that is denoted by an eight-pointed starburst. Ishtar is also associated with Planet Venus. Therefore, Greek Aphrodite (whom Romans equated with their Venus) is also associated with Ishtar. These lovely little golden starbursts have a unique elongated lower ray that gives the appearance that it is “streaming” or “falling” through the sky. 925 Sterling Silver Posts. Hypoallergenic.
