I'm a bit fascinated by the mythology of the Dog Star at the moment. I had just finished making a new Magic Vial Pendant inspired by the Sting song, "Valparaiso" and about the repeated mention of various terms for Sirius. "Chase the Dog Star over the sea. . . . Cross in the sky, star of the sea. . " and had found out that Sirius actually has more mythology and legends about it than any other star, except our own sun!So this is Magic Vial - Sirius. Criss-crossing Sterling silver wire, around blue fluorite and lapis lazuli with two Andromeda flowers, because Sirius is really a binary star system and not just one star.
The wiki article alone is fascinating! Wiki on Sirius

So, of course, I had to see what other Etsy Sellers had. Searching "Sirius" however, mostly just turned up Harry Potter references. "Dog Star" at least had one good and relevant result!Olivia Moon has a Canis Major Constellation Pendant. It's a lovely kind of vintage-style artwork, with all the stars represented inside the body of the Greyhound, framed and even has a small vanity mirror on the reverse side! So it's classy and useful!
She currently has 4 for $11.00 a piece.
