Celestial imagery

Celestial imagery has appeared in art, literature, architecture and jewelry since the beginning of human history. For centuries, the contents of the sky was a realm of mystical and beautiful unknowns. Imagine being a part of primitive cultures and gazing on the depth of a night sky without any semblance of understanding for what you’re looking upon. The moon, sun, planets, and stars became the representations of gods and goddesses throughout the years as ways to explain their presence and permanence.

Symbolism evolved through the years, from deities to endurance to personal astrological signs. Though we now know a great deal more about the composition of the celestial universe now, we still ultimately know very little, and as such continue to be enchanted by the sky and its beauty. We wanted to take a wander through the history of moon and star jewelry, their lasting popularity and the meanings they hold now and then.
