Fall equinox is the time of equal day and night, when the tilt of the Earth's axis is neither towards nor away from the sun. For those near the equator, the equinoxes have little meaning as the apparent length of days changes little throughout the year. In the northern hemisphere, the fall equinox is in September. This 19" necklace features a laser-cut heartwood heart pendant and selenite oval pendant. Selenite is a pale, translucent variety of the mineral gypsum forming in distinct structures; this pendant has the silky luster of satin spar, a parallel, fibrous formation. The pendants hang from a thin, coiled copper tube with an inner coated stainless steel cord for strength, and the necklace fastens with a copper hook and eye clasp. The natural materials and warm colors are indicative of the golden but shortening days as summer passes to winter and moonlight becomes more pronounced with the longer nights.

Cost: $37.00 USD

Materials:

  • selenite gemstone pendant
  • heartwood pendant
  • copper beads and components

Care & cleaning: Clean with warm soapy water and avoid chemical or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft jewelry polishing cloth to clean tarnish appearing on metal.

Selenite is a softer material that can break more easily so it should be kept out of reach of young hands. As with all beaded jewelry: do not let young toddlers chew on it.
