Moonstone is a variety of feldspar, known for its delicate adularescence – a milky to bluish light that softly shimmers under its surface when the stone is moved. It is formed during the slow cooling of rocks and its characteristic appearance is the result of the arrangement of different types of feldspars within the crystal. Its appearance has long been reminiscent of moonlight and the night sky.

In the esoteric tradition, moonstone is associated with intuition, inner peace and the variability of life cycles. It is a symbol of sensitivity, the feminine principle and the ability to accept change. Its gentle light reminds us that even in times of darkness, there can be a special kind of glow that accompanies a person.

Fleur de lis, a stylized lily flower, is a symbol with a long history and many meanings. In European tradition, it was associated primarily with the French monarchy and heraldry, but its form appeared in various cultures long before that. The lily was associated with purity, nobility, light and spiritual protection. Its three parts are symbolically interpreted as the connection of various triads - for example, past, present and future or body, mind and spirit.

The construction of the jewelry is handmade from surgical steel and the connecting material is an alloy of tin and silver. The jewelry is then treated similarly to silver - we polish it once in a while. The more the jewelry is worn, the better, it polishes itself on the clothes, the skin of the wearer, etc. The metal is stable and does not contain nickel or heavy metals. The jewelry can be worn constantly and in water, but then it is good to dry it and treat it more often. The jewelry is hung on a braided, cotton cord and secured with an enlargement knot.
