This pendant draws from the Roman lunula—“little moon” in Latin—a protective amulet believed to guard against illness and misfortune.

The crescent amulet appeared across the ancient Mediterranean for centuries before Roman times, a simple yet powerful form that never disappeared.

Shaped by hand and cast in solid 22k gold. Approximately 1/2" tall (including bail) and 1/4” wide on an 18-inch 18k gold chain.

Custom lengths available upon request. A handmade 22k or 20k gold chain may be ordered separately.

Made to order with a 4–6 week lead time.
