It's a direct reply to the question, but while all answers to asked questions are replies, all replies are not answers. Harry has certain beliefs about what the pentacle in his amulet stands for; however, he didn't make the amulet himself. It was something he inherited from his mother. She didn't leave him any written instructions on how to interpret the symbol. Perhaps he learned this from studying with Ebenezer, we don't know for certain. It appears Elaine also inherited her amulet. We know nothing of her family or what she thinks her pentacle represents.
It's quite possible that Elaine also has a family member who is a member of the White Council. It could be that a number of wizards who were once friends, allies or shared a common philosophical belief system towards magic marked this relationship by wearing similar amulets. This would explain how Harry and Elaine came to have almost identical amulets.

The first part is true I guess, but the second is not because of that WOJ. It's equally possible that there was a Hot Topic near where they lived with Justin (who was the one to give both of them their actual first introductions to magic use, philosophic underpinnings (as much as practically required for the mental control at least), etc.
You could be right, dont get me wrong. But when directly asked this question the answer was specifically that he included it to illustrate their common magical background and a shared philosophy (within the bounds of the differences we saw in WN, which werent much). So it would, for example, mean that she can summon Faith-Light from it the same way harry does. But I think the bridge of "Harry's Necklace was inherited from a story-relevant Long-lost family so Elaine's must be too" is built of way more tinfoil.
Eami:
Thomas’s is identical to Harry’s, because their mom gave them to them. Elaine’s is very similar, because it’s a common symbol representing magic, hers may even have been based on Harry’s after the fact. There could be more to it than that, but there doesn’t have to be.

Didn't Harry's new staff build on Demon Reach also have a green-white light?
