The Morning Star

The Morning Star is a medal in jewellery-grade mother-of-pearl rimmed in 18-karat gold, depicting an eight-pointed star, like a compass rose.

The star that heralds the day

At the centre, an eight-pointed star engraved in relief, four long points and four short, like a compass rose or a stylised starfish; the same lobed, beaded rim as on our other medals in this collection surrounds it. "Morning Star" is one of the images Scripture gives to Christ himself (Revelation 22:16, "I am the bright morning star") and, in Marian tradition, one of the titles attached to the Virgin, she who precedes and announces the break of day. A medal with no figure, to be read as a sign of hope and renewal.
