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.

During a lunar eclipse, the moon moves into the Earth's shadow and the full moon becomes red-orange shadow. The glittering spessartite garnet gemstones are much lighter but play the part of shadow in this 19" slim necklace. Spessartite garnet gets its distinctive orange color from manganese instead of red-purple from iron and titanium. The faceted gemstones are strung on natural silk for superior drape, and the necklace fastens easily with a 14kt gold-fill magnetic clasp.

Cost: $106.00 USD
