Star Banner Necklace in gold
This pendant is a reflection of my own heritage — a bit of the Puerto Rican flag turned into a charm, serving as a reminder of my family’s roots. The triangle shape has a raised star in the middle, inspired by the shapes found on the flag.
When I was little and trying to remember the difference between the Puerto Rican and Cuban flags, I was told that “Puerto Rico is like a shining star in the ocean, so you’ll know our flag because the star sits inside a blue triangle instead of a red one.” I loved the image it painted in my head, so I carved this little banner as a totem to remind me of the beautiful, special place that shaped so much of my family, our history, and our traditions.
Styling
The pendant sits on a braided cord with beads knotted on each end, and the long length gives you lots of ways to wear it. I chose a cord with dark and light blue to represent the blue triangle on the Puerto Rican flag, while the ivory cord gives you more flexibility for any way you want to style it. The ivory cord is a bit more slippery, for which I recommend using a double knot to prevent the necklace from coming undone easily.
This listing is for a gold pendant with gold beads, but there’s also a sterling silver version.
This necklace is made to order (unless otherwise noted) and will be ready to ship in 6-8 weeks.

14k gold charm and beads
Braided polyester cord (solid ivory) or braided cotton cord with metallic gold (patterned blue)

Made by hand in my Catskill Mountain Studio

Style It With…
I love these mother-of-pearl beads as an alternative to a more traditional pearl necklace. Carved from the same shells that give us pearls, mother-of-pearl is made from the same nacre material but with a beautiful, iridescent sheen. Here, I strung a length of them on white silk cord and sprinkled in gold beads.
This necklace looks great against most patterns and colors you’d want to wear it with, and also layers well with gold chain necklaces and long pendants.
