What if your first name made you a star?

Derived from the Latin word Stella, meaning star, the name Stella is luminous and poetic. It inspires dreams. Multiple variations of it can be found all over the world:

  • Feminine: Estelle, Estel, Estela, Estella, Stela, Stelia, Stellya, Stely, Stellie, Stellina, Maria-Stella...
  • Masculine: Stellio, Stellan, a Scandinavian version exemplified by Stellan Skarsgård, the Swedish actor who starred in Star Wars.


From the star to the compass

Stars shine brightly in ancient mythologies, and in numerous works of art. Vincent van Gogh's magnificent "Starry Night Over the Rhône" is a radiant example. In it, the artist depicted the Big Dipper constellation (Ursa Major) in late September 1888, giving each star the poetic appearance of a small flower.

Stella Polaris, the North Star, is the brightest star in the Little Dipper (Ursa Minor). It has served as a guide for navigators at sea, explorers, and fishermen alike... It indicates the North, the course to follow, a constant and universal point of reference.















A powerful symbolism stems from this: Stella Polaris represents stability, orientation, and guidance in both a literal and figurative sense. Spiritually, it points to the right path to follow, keeping one from losing their bearings.

Thanks to your astral first name, you were born under a lucky star! A starry piece of jewelry will be your emblem and your ultimate asset.
