So, it turns out that this is my favorite piece to date. It is called Sun, Moon, and Stars. This piece is made with a carnelian as the sun, moonstone as the moon, and a blue goldstone for the sparkly stars. I embossed a pattern on the back, giving it more of an India feel to it but I think it goes great with the color combination. The chain is pewter and the accented leaves are sterling silver.
The sun happens to be a very powerful symbol in its own right, perhaps one of the greatest symbols of all. After all, our world is dependent on the sun to keep our atmosphere livable. Without it, permanent winter and darkness would descend, and it wouldn’t take very long for every living thing on Earth to perish. This astrological body is feminine in energy. It is considered a symbol of the feeling side of human nature. As a deity, moon worship is even older than sun worship. Stars have never truly been considered deities, but they still hold certain meanings, depending on the number of points they have. In general, stars are viewed as embodiments of divine power, lighting the way in the darkness. They can be considered symbols of goodness and truth.
Enjoy!
