RHODIUM PLATED SILVER CRESCENT MOON LARIAT NECKLACE
Christine Alexander Fine Jewellery
You know those nights when the moon looks like it’s thinking, “Yeah, I’m doing alright, actually”? That’s the vibe of this heavenly Sterling Silver crescent necklace — quietly confident, a bit mystical, and just the right amount of “I may hex you, but lovingly.”
At 18 inches end-to-end, with an extra two-inch drop, this piece sits perfectly — somewhere between witchy moon goddess and that woman at a gallery opening who just seems to have her life together. Made entirely from Sterling Silver, it glows like bottled moonlight, only with less risk of attracting werewolves.
And yes — it arrives beautifully boxed, snuggled in a padded envelope, because even celestial jewellery deserves a comfy journey.
🌕 The Science-y Bit (Because We Love a Fun Fact)
The crescent, technically speaking, is the “lune” — a shape formed when one circular disc rudely cuts into another, leaving behind two curving arcs that meet in elegant, pointy “horns.”
The word comes from the Latin crescere, meaning “to grow,” because the crescent moon was seen as a sign of new beginnings — or, in modern terms, the glow-up phase.
So when you wear this necklace, think of it as a tiny symbol of growth, change, and looking extremely good while doing both.
✨ Rhodium: The Unsung Hero of Shine
Here’s where things get fabulously nerdy: your necklace may also be Rhodium-plated, which is basically the jewellery world’s equivalent of an Instagram filter that never fades.
Rhodium is from the Platinum family, costs about eight times more than Gold, and makes everything it touches look like it’s been personally blessed by the moon. It’s hard, scratch-resistant, tarnish-proof, and blindingly white — ideal for anyone who likes their silver to stay silver.
Avoid swimming in it, though — chlorine’s a bit of a villain in this story. Tap water contains a smidge of it, too, so maybe take your necklace off before you decide to re-enact The Little Mermaid. Don’t panic if the plating ever fades; it’s easily re-done.
