Lunarys
Earrings featuring a radiant moonstone and a crescent moon.
The earrings measure 6 x 1 cm, including the 316L steel ear wire.
They are surprisingly lightweight given their length.
Moonstone is a variety of feldspar; its characteristic milky-to-bluish sheen—known as adularescence—is created by the scattering of light within the fine layers of its crystal structure. Its soft, luminous glow resembles moonlight, fostering a centuries-old association with the Moon, the night, and the feminine principle. The crescent moon, a well-known lunar symbol, represents cyclicality, transformation, and the constant return of light after darkness. In Celtic symbolism, the Moon is linked to natural rhythms, intuition, and the mysteries of nature—which, like the Moon's phases, is constantly changing. In esoteric tradition, moonstone is considered a stone of intuition, inner peace, and sensitive perception; it encourages a connection with one's emotions and helps one accept change as a natural part of life. The crescent moon complements this symbolism with imagery of new beginnings, growth, and the gradual gathering of strength. Together, the moonstone and crescent moon create a harmonious symbol of femininity, intuition, and life's cycles. The stone's luminous sheen also evokes the changing face of the Moon, whose light shifts constantly throughout its phases.
The jewelry is handcrafted from surgical steel, using a tin-silver alloy for the connections. It requires care similar to silver jewelry—occasional polishing keeps it looking its best. The more the jewelry is worn, the better; it polishes itself through contact with clothing, the wearer's skin, and so on. The metal is durable and contains neither nickel nor heavy metals. The pieces can be worn constantly, even in water, though it is advisable to dry them off afterwards and care for them more frequently.
