The moonstone set in this pendant is bright with flashes of blue and violet. It has very light peachy warm undertones under the table and facets of the stone.

Mugwort leaves, cast immortal in sterling silver, carefully encircle a pear cut moonstone gemstone, resembling a tear. Historically, Mugwort was used as a dreaming herb, harvested, dried and sewed into little sachets which were then put under the pillow before sleep to "bring forth dreams". These dreams, due to the herb's potency, could be vivid, lucid and prophetic. These attributes have survived throughout the ages and people today still use Mugwort to assist with enhancing dreaming and visions whilst in this state.

While most modern folks are divorced of believing in the importance of dreams, our historical ancestors were more connected to them. Dreams could reveal their true love or help with visions of the future of the harvest or child bearing. Therefore, customary folk practices around dreaming were cultural and normalized, before the introduction of witchcraft trials. The same herbs used for some of these traditions, such as Mugwort, were also used to repel witches and evil spirits / evil eye. Keep close to you while sleeping or wear when in trance / waking visionary states, for protection ( especially while traveling ) or simply for its beauty.

Moonstone and the other stones in this collection are gemstones associated with sleep and dreaming, further amplifying the intention of this talismanic jewel.

Moonstone: 

Moonstone 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.

Moonstone is known for its powerful psychic abilities. Used to protect empaths & sensitives from absorbing other people's emotions, it is also is known to be used during meditation for connecting to ones inner selves. As a romantic stone, it is known to strengthen the bonds between lovers when given as gifts, especially during the full moon.

This jewel is hand cut and therefore may have small signs of the carver's hands. As this has not been fabricated by a machine, it has been made by hand and therefore isn't uniformly perfect. The photographs accurately portray the quality of the stone.
