Moon Jewelry

The History of Moon Jewelry

The moon doesn't only bring us light in times of darkness but also brings an undeniable beauty that has allowed it to become a fashion favorite for centuries. So if you're looking for an elegant and unique piece to complete your wardrobe, moon jewelry is perfect for you.

Moon jewelry has been popular since ancient times, especially crescent moon designs, as they are associated with the goddess of the Greek moon, Selene, who symbolizes female empowerment. The moon is also known to symbolize regeneration and fertility, as women would pray to the goddess Selene and don symbols of the moon in hopes of blessing them with new life.

The crescent moon is also said to be associated with Roman mythology as it represents the slender curves of the bow used by Diana, the goddess of the hunt, who was often known to symbolize innocence and purity.

Moon Jewelry in Fashion

Moon jewelry is a fashion staple that has outlasted the test of time. It looks beautiful as a casual everyday piece, such as a moon ring or a statement gold moon necklace for your next big event. Moon necklaces make the perfect layering piece for any occasion. You can also make a trendy statement by having a pair of moon and star mismatching earrings. Crescent moon rings have made their way up to people's list of favorites due to their charm.

Caring for Your Moon Jewelry

Make the magic last for more than one night by properly caring for and storing your moon jewelry. Keep your moon jewelry away from liquids and moisture to prevent tarnishing, and store them in a dry, safe place when not in use. Then, with a soft, microfiber cloth, you can clean your moon necklaces, earrings, bracelets, pendants, and other jewelry pieces.

Whether it's a moon and star necklace or a classic moon earring, or a moon bracelet that you're looking for, you're sure to find your next favorite at Ross‑Simons.
