Moon Child Jewelry brings you a collection of unique, hand-made pieces that draw influence from the bone/horn jewelry that has become widely popular on the West Coast of the United States. The tribal influences of the Pacific Islands crashed onto the shores of Southern California, and thus, the crescent moon necklace was inspired. Desig
ners and artisans embellished upon this simple design to create masterpieces both lavish and simple. Moon Child encapsulates this free and raw spirit, bringing you high-quality pieces that are designed to last – at an affordable price! I hope that you enjoy your pieces as much as I did crafting each one!
**Imagery and Symbolism**
The beautiful crescent moon appears in the sky each month, heralding the birth of new life. One might think of it as a cradle for new-dreams. The stars and planets seem to be perfectly aligned within its cosmic shape. Appealing to the open heart, its arms invite loving embrace. Adorn yourself with the symbol of this powerful imagery to invoke the enchantment of the potent crescent moon…
***Quality Matters***
I have taken great pains to source only the highest quality materials. I want your jewelry to last! Chains and findings are crafted only with sterling silver, 14/20 yellow or rose gold-filled, and/ or high quality gold vermeil. All bone pendants are ethically sourced from the Indonesian Island of Bali.
***What is Gold-filled?***
Gold-filled jewelry is composed of a solid layer of gold which is mechanically bonded to a base metal (brass). An item that is “14/20” gold filled must constitute at least 5%, or 1/20th, of the item’s total weight. Gold-filled does not tarnish or chip, and can last a lifetime when properly cared for. It is suitable for wearers with metal sensitivities.
***What is Gold Vermeil?***
The base metal of gold vermeil jewelry is sterling silver. The silver is then plated in gold, typically ranging in purity from 18-24 karats. The gold plating is thicker than traditional gold-plated pieces, often as much as 50%. With proper care, gold vermeil can last for many years, and offers a great, more affordable option for gold-jewelry wearers than solid gold. It is also wonderful for wearers who have sensitivities to certain metals.
***How is your item packaged?***
Items will arrive carefully wrapped in bubble wrap and tissue paper, then packed neatly in a jewelry box. Necklaces are strung onto a necklace card, with all pendants wrapped to ensure safe transport. All paper used is recycled and recyclable.
