The soft and glowing colors of this Moonstone pendant are a reminder of the subtle tones of fall. Often, at this time of year, the morning and evening light has pearlescent hues of peach, lavender and pale green. This is reflected in the gentle striations on the front of this Moonstone, and emphasized even further on the back which has darker tones of maderia and blue in and among the subtler colors.
The handmade sterling silver setting has Fern leaves curving around the deep dome of the stone, accompanied by a Moon and Star motif with the Ferns on the reverse side. These are meant to remind you of the change of seasons and the progress of time, while also bringing awareness to the opportunities we can find in each moment.
Ferns are a symbol of possibility. Their branching is almost fractal, with repeating patterning from overall structure down to the smallest leaf. Ferns can help you imagine pathways of ideas in their bending fronds. This perspective may be unseen by most, but is available to you in close observation. Use this concept to expand your options and give yourself permission to follow your own patterns.
Pendant measures 3/4 “ tall by 1 & 1/16” wide by 5/16” thick. Length of pendant does not include the part that the chain goes through, known as the bail. Please see the image on the size grid for scale. Shown on the 1.8 mm Rounded Box chain.

A note about Moonstone's colors: Every effort is made to capture the best color of the gem when the item is photographed for presentation. This depends largely on the angle of the light on the stone when the image is captured. Moonstone's inherent nature means that under the right conditions, the color flash will be intensely luminous and vibrant. On the other hand, when you view your new piece under some conditions, it could appear very pale, milky or even with minimal color. This visual reminder of life's changeable nature is part of Moonstones's allure. You can incorporate this idea along with the specific emotional symbolism built into each one-of-a-kind, handmade silver setting. Enjoy!
