Moon Festival Necklace | #3

Magical and jubilant, just like the feeling of bright, autumn harvest festivals and nighttime carnivals. Shadowy and bright all at the same time. 
 
These necklaces feature crisp labradorite moons, and tucked into each crescent is a little sunstone gemstone and a few sterling pebbles.

The backs of the pendants are left embellished and unfettered, clean and simple, befitting the moon.

This pendant has been aged and hand-polished for a textured, organic look, and to bring out the lowlights and accent the stone.

☀ Labradorite is an iridescent gemstone with a fascinating schiller or metallic luster when viewed from certain angles. The base color of labradorite is a smokey gray, but when light strikes the stone in a particular direction, it displays striking rainbow-colored reflections. Most typically, these metallic tints are violet, blue gold, and green.

♥ Made in my work studio using time-consuming, age-old metalsmithing techniques. This piece is made with solid craftsmanship and all parts of this piece have been hand-fabricated.

♥ All of the pieces in my collections are handmade and hand-finished, and make use of natural and recycled materials. All items will have slight, natural imperfections rendering each piece unique. It is these variations and imperfections which denote their handcrafted nature and individual character, specially made for every wearer.

♥ To create my antiqued pieces, the sterling silver is oxidize until dark gray. Oxidation is a process that happens over time naturally to sterling silver. Then the piece is brushed and polished until the highlights are lighter and the lowlights are darkened. But this oxidization is not permanent, and will fade in the areas that rub, and stay dark in the recesses. The patina will change over time, making your piece unique to you, and growing more beautiful with wear.
