As nocturnal creatures, I feel a kinship with their natural predilection for the night time hours, but I’m also interested in how they use sonar to ‘see’, how as a metaphor bats as liminal creatures also remind us to look closer with our other senses, a way of ‘seeing the unseen.’ It’s my hope and intention that pairing them with other chthonic imagery and myth further adds to the visual meaning I’m aiming for, creating a collage of personal ideas while also tethering these physical jeweled objects to the spirit of the bat ( and other natural objects in the case of other jewels in my collection ) and to the spirit of the myths I’m invoking.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e*Details* :\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- 31 mm from top to bottom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- 24 mm wide\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Sits 12 mm off the finger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Solid Sterling Silver  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Hand oxidized to achieve our favorite shade of stormy gray and then highlighted to reveal the bright luminous silver beneath\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Set with one 20 x 30 mm round gray moonstone cabochon \u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGray Moonstone:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGray moonstone shares many of the same metaphysical properties as the rest of the moonstone family. It\u003cspan\u003e is closely tied to the moon, with some cultures believing the stone is solidified moon rays, while others think of them as embodiments of the moon's tears. Acting as a kind of Psychic armor, it is thought to protect its wearer from not only dark nights, but dark times; it helps sooth grief, loss, and other emotional turbulence. \u003c\/span\u003eMoonstone is also known for its powerful psychic abilities. Used to protect empaths \u0026amp; sensitives from absorbing other people's emotions, it is known to be used during meditation for connecting to ones inner selves.
