1. It’s A Small Moon After All – The moon we know may seem big, but there are much larger moons elsewhere in the solar system. For example, one of Jupiter’s moons, Ganymede, is the largest with a diameter of about 3,260 miles compared to ours at about 2,159 miles. Wear the striking Moon and Star Layered Chain Necklace and Icy Moon Crystal Precious Threads Bracelet to remind you that light is a continued presence, even in darkness.
2. Twinkle, Twinkle – Contrary to the classic nursery rhyme, stars don’t actually twinkle. This dazzling effect is a result of how the star’s light passes through Earth’s unsteady, layered atmosphere. Since the layers differ in thickness, the light ricochets in different directions as it passes through, creating the “twinkling” we see from the ground. Allow the Moon and Star Post Earrings to twinkle throughout your day so others are reminded that these friends of the night are close, even when we cannot see them.
3. Metallic Meanings – Did you know that the moon has a connection to jewelry? It’s long been associated with silver, the “moon metal,” and is said to promote protection, peace, and balance. It’s also known to deflect negativity, so amp up your silver stack with our newest pieces for a positively perfect look. Pair the Moon Pull Chain Bracelet with a Moon and Star Ring Wrap in a different metal to truly harness the powerful energy of the lunar cycles.
The moon and stars remind us that pure love has no bounds. Celebrate the Strawberry Moon by adorning yourself with the Cosmic Balance Cuff to inspire infinite happiness in all of your endeavors.
