Our Favorite Vintage Star Pendants: Just in Time for Christmas!



The star is to Christmas what the egg is to Easter: a famous symbol that highlights the season and underscores the style elements so popular during this time of the year. Wearing a star pendant is an excellent way of accessorizing your wardrobe when attending formal Christmas dinners or even just the casual parties given by friends, family members and the work place.
