## A Star in a Royal Tomb

Excavators found the sixteen-rayed star on a golden larnax in a royal tomb at Vergina, the ancient Aigai. The tomb dates to the 4th century BC.

Many link the tomb to the family of Philip II, father of Alexander. Alexander the Great pendant jewelry often borrows this star for that reason.

## An Emblem with Open Questions

The star appears in Greek art from the 5th century BC. It decorates temple ceilings in Athens and not only Macedonia. So scholars call it royal with caution.

One theory ties it to Helios, the sun god. That reading is uncertain. The Vergina sun necklace carries the question along.

## Wearing and Display

Wear the Macedonian star necklace over a plain top. The long chain falls low on the chest. Wipe with a soft cloth.

Choose gold for warmth or silver for a cooler look. See more in our [Museum Jewelry Necklaces](https://www.museumize.com/collections/museum-jewelry-necklaces). A Star of Vergina pendant also suits a coat.

## About Macedonia and Alexander

Macedonia rose under Philip II and reached Asia and Egypt under Alexander. The star is tied to that rise. A Macedonian star necklace is a bold way to wear it. This Alexander the Great pendant keeps the sun of Aigai in view.
