Wood Double-Horn Crescent Charm Sterling Silver 27x21mm - 1pc

Crafted by Balinese artisans, this magnificent double-horned 27x21x6.5mm crescent pendant is hand-carved out of black wood featuring a sterling silver bail with three rows of granulated detail.

Because of its association with and symbolism for growth, the 'crescent' shape became known as a symbol for fertility, and goddesses like Aphrodite are often depicted wearing a hair ornament in the shape of a crescent moon. In North African, Spanish, and later Southwestern American silversmithing traditions, the downward-pointing crescent was an important design motif. The added granulation pattern often symbolizes seeds, for fertility and prosperity.

While it appears substantial and heavy, the wood makes it light enough for delicate pendants or even earrings. Height measurement includes 5mm soldered jump ring.

Design oxidized for greater contrast.

Stamped 925.
