Crescents, moons and stars in solid 14K gold and sterling silver, some set with lab-grown diamonds, mother of pearl or malachite.
Moon & Celestial Jewelry
Moon jewelry, explained
The moon stands for cycles, intuition, protection and new beginnings. A crescent moon necklace is often given for a fresh start, and a sun and moon pendant for balance between two people or two sides of yourself. Diamond-set crescents were especially fashionable in the late 18th and 19th centuries, when the crescent was linked to Diana, the Roman goddess of the moon.
How to choose a moon piece
A plain crescent on a fine chain is the everyday choice. A moon set with a lab-grown diamond marks a milestone. Moon earrings carry the same meaning outward, and a moon with a star reads as guidance. In 14K yellow gold, a moon piece keeps its warm color for years.
What does a moon necklace mean?
Most often intuition, protection, new beginnings and calm strength.
What does a sun and moon necklace mean?

Is a moon necklace a romantic gift?
Yes. It says "I'm here for every phase."
