There is no doubt that even modern jewelry pieces can sometimes feel less worthwhile than the sentimental and intimate designs of the past. But, be it pendants, earrings, or necklaces, celestial jewelry has been a trending thing for decades. For instance, those sun and moon necklaces are available;e in a myriad of designs nowadays, and one can wear them on for a totally classic look. 

Have you ever wondered why these pretty pieces of jewelry are more popular than the rest? Well, it is just because of the subtle features and symbolism they hold. So let's get started with knowing how the symbolism of the shining moon began? 

Basically, the moon in Greek mythology represents Selene, the goddess of femininity, and signifies women's empowerment. The moon also speaks for the regeneration and fertility of women. Putting into an illustration, women wishing to conceive would offer prayers to Selene to have that little charm in their life. 

Even in Roman mythology, the willowy curves of the moon's Crescent shape were elucidated to embody the bow used by the goddess of Hunt, Diana. She was also correlated with purity and chastity, moralities that were praised and considered very important. 

On the other hand, the moon is the Yin to the Yang of the sun in Chinese Philosophy, representing how the male sun and female moon evenly balance each other despite being the opposite. This somehow brought the crescent sun necklaces in trend once again. 

WHEN THE MOON CELESTIAL JEWELRY REACHED ITS ZENITH...

With all the aspects mentioned above, we can not deny that Moon and gold sun necklaces were incredibly famous during the Edwardian, Georgian, and Victorian eras. Even the antique pieces from these eras were drenched with secret messages, intimation, and different symbolism. 

For instance, the Victorians brought the celestial pieces to perfection using gems, flowers, and motifs. Not only this, crescent moon necklace secretly communicated the messages, still representing the glorification and spirituality of Selene. While the stars attached along with them were a quick spotlight of guidance of the spirit and symbol of direction. 

In sync, the moon also symbolizes change as it has different lunar phases. How was this correlated? Because the Industrial Revolution took place at that time, women had just begun to leave their homes and enter the workforce. Consequently, the roots were already being settled for modern time female rights and empowerment.
