The Lumina Pendant
The Lumina Pendant
While designing the Meridia Sun Pendant, I knew she would need a sister Moon Pendant. It took me a couple of attempts to get exactly what I envisioned to come to life.
The Lumina Pendant is a play on a dual perspective of the night sky. This fine silver pendant is hand-sculpted to capture both the brilliant illumination of a full moon and the delicate contour of a crescent. The high-domed silver curve forms a textured crescent moon, deeply engraved with stars along the edge to represent the depths of the starry sky. Resting immediately adjacent, the prominent center stone catches the light, transforming into the glowing face of the full moon.
With its twin perspectives, (and being a Gemini myself!) Lumina is a symbolic nod to the duality of the Gemini; a reflection of the balance between light and shadow and the two beautiful sides of a whole. It is a wearable reminder of the cycles we move through and the light that remains, even in the darkest night.
*Also now available in bronze. Custom stone options are available, pricing will vary.

A Note on Materials
This piece is available in two metals: bronze and .999 pure fine silver. Please note that each material has distinct characteristics and care requirements.
Fine Silver (.999): This variant is not rhodium plated or coated in any way. You are wearing solid, elemental metal exactly as it is. Fine silver is an elemental metal. It may tarnish, develop a patina, or react to your environment at a rate that differs from plated or sterling silver pieces. Factors such as skin chemistry, humidity, lotions, soaps, and airborne compounds all influence how the metal responds. This is a natural characteristic of pure silver, not a defect. Tarnish is easily removed at home using a polishing cloth, a baking soda paste, or a silver cleaning cream. Full care instructions for fine silver are available here.
Bronze: Bronze is a copper-based alloy that develops a natural patina over time. It may darken with wear, which many people find adds to its character. Regular polishing will restore its original warm tone. Full care instructions for bronze are available here.
If you are unfamiliar with the properties of .999 fine silver or bronze, please take a moment to research the materials before purchasing to confirm they are the right fit for you. By completing your purchase, you acknowledge that you understand these natural characteristics. Because each piece is made to order, please note that natural tarnishing and surface changes are not considered defects and are not covered under the custom order return policy. I am always happy to help with care questions at help@ingavaughn.com.
