Dingir is one of the oldest written signs we have, pressed into clay in Mesopotamia more than five thousand years ago to mark a name as divine, or to mean sky. It is drawn here as an eight pointed star with the wedge strokes of cuneiform kept intact. An unusual gift for an ancient history or archaeology obsessive, a linguistics student, or anyone who has stood in front of the Mesopotamian rooms at a museum for longer than the people they came with. The pendant is 925 sterling silver. It arrives in our suede gift pouch.
Please choose your finish and chain length at checkout.
Finish options: Sterling Silver, a bright polished finish along every edge, which keeps the wedge strokes crisp and readable. Gold, 18ct gold plated over 925 sterling silver, for a warmer tone that suits gold jewellery already in the collection.
Chain length options: 14 inches, sits high on the neck, best suited to children and petite frames. 16 inches, sits at the base of the neck, a classic choker length. 18 inches, our most popular length, sits just below the collarbone and works with most necklines. 20 inches, sits on the chest, ideal for layering or wearing over knitwear. 22 inches, a longer drop that sits lower on the chest.
The design is unisex and open worked, so it sits flat and light against the neckline. 18 inches or above lets the full star be seen, and 20 or 22 inches suits a wider frame well.
Every order arrives in a Potiega suede gift pouch as standard. If you would like it presented in our white gift box with a gift card, please tick the gift box option at checkout for a small additional charge.
