The Moirai ( mɔɪraɪ ) were born of The Queen of Night, Nyx, who was a primordial Goddess considered to be the Mother of all creation according to the Orphic Hymns; other accounts have her born of chaos. Also known as the three Fates, the Moirai echoed the trinity of Maiden, Mother, Crone, or the natural progression of life. Their names were Clotho ( the Spinner ), Lachesis ( the Allotter ) and Atropos, ( the Cutter), representing the potential, creativity, fulfillment and ultimate end of life.
I don’t know how much I believe in fate or destiny aside from romantic notions tied to love and friendship – but I do enjoy moments of synchronicity and. I like to believe my own fate is in my hands despite the systems that might be working against me ( or the possible sci-fi scenarios of being in a Matrix like simulation ) but again, most of what we know about the future is unknown, and the past, despite being ‘written’ seems to change and shift anytime we look back as our memories degrade. The present appears to be what we have, what we are ‘allotted’ what we spin and weave for ourselves and in that way, we are the Moirai, maybe in control of only so little, day to day, especially these days. The present is here, as you read this, as you consider what is important to you, what you will do next, what you will think next, what magic for yourself and others you will spin and weave with your thoughts, with what you can, with what you have, until your cord is cut.
Bats and their cast wing and leg bones have long been a component I’ve used in my visual library as a way of creating a personal visual language. 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.
This ring is inspired by our much beloved and long retired ‘The Witches’ ring in that it has a triangle shape. The triangle is an ancient symbol, akin to the pyramid, and can be worn with its apex facing up or down, depending on ascent or descent, how you’d like to focus your feelings or power ( or also just how you’d like to aesthetically wear it. )

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.
As they are entirely natural, earth made stones, color and clarity will vary from stone to stone. Moonstone often has a milky appearance and natural inclusions that appear as lines or inner 'cracks.’ The flash will contain shades of blue, violet or teal, and occasionally hints of gold.
These jewels are hand cut and therefore may have very slight differences in size and may have small signs of the carver's hands along the edges. These are not fabricated by a machine, they are made by hand and therefore aren't uniformly perfect. The photographs accurately portray the quality of the stones and the cuts.
