This etched and oxidized celestial jewelry charm represents all of the lunar phases as the moon waxes and wanes. The center is a cut out circle, as if it were representing a lunar eclipse, as the different profiles of the moon form a ring around the center from New Moon to Full Moon. Each phase of the moon has its own associated meaning. New moons are for beginnings, for example, while the waning moon is believed to be a good time for banishing things, or clearing negative influences. Channel the meaningful phases of our lovely lunar orb with this beautiful moon charm... while creating jewelry designs that are out of this world!
