Three jewelry pieces of similar colors are related to different lunar events:
Waning Gibbous,
Waxing Crescent, and
Lunar Eclipse.
Each is a mix of warm oranges and cool greens but the relative proportion and organization of
the beads represent the changing appearance of the moon.
When the moon is in the waxing crescent phase, the illuminated portion is increasing from a thin sliver to a growing crescent until half the face is lit (first quarter). The deep yellow-green peridot "chubby" teardrops in this 19" necklace are like light that is gradually overtaking shadow (peach moonstone gemstone rectangles and rondelles). Peridot is a transparent gem quality grade of the mineral olivine, which is commonly found in the Earth's crust and sometimes appears in meteorites. The peridot gemstones in this necklace are high grade deep yellow green, and they flow into white moonstone and peach moonstone gemstone beads spaced with 14kt gold-fill beads. Moonstone is a feldspar reflecting soft glowing light from thin parallel planes in the gemstone's structure. Gemstones are strung on natural silk for strength and suppleness, and the necklace fastens with a 14kt gold-fill lobster claw clasp. Cost: $106.00 USD
