Ishtar is the Babylonian goddess of birth, death, and rebirth, descendent of the Sumerian goddess, Inanna and related to Astarte. She is associated with the planet Venus and passionate sexuality. Lapis lazuli, her stone, represents the creative waters of the earth and the transcending nature of heaven.

In this design Ishtar's arms are raised to heaven inviting the transformation of desire and passion into divine love and transcendence.

My Ishtar goddess pendant is wrapped with 14kt gold-filled wire and adorned with two lapis lazula gemstones. Includes a cotton cord and satin pouch. Size, 2.75 long"
