Drop Two º Lunae
The crescent,worn.
The oldest shape in the sky. Read as goddess, huntress and guard, and never the same twice.
Be first when Lunae opens.
One moon,
many readings.
The crescent has never sat still. Yin and huntress, lover and guard.
In the east it is tàiyīn, the great yin that moves the tides. In the west it is Artemis, whose bow is a drawn crescent. Worn close, it does the oldest job a crescent has. It keeps watch.
The pieces.
Revealed Friday, 7pm AEST
The earrings
One crescent, many arrangements.
Two sizes, each worn two ways, each sold on its own. Stack the large over the small for a halo, match a clean pair, or split them across both ears and fall out of phase. The Duo and the Pair are the two arrangements we kept returning to.
The cuff
The crescent, at the wrist.
The one piece here not made to multiply. A smooth arc of silver-gilded brass that opens to your wrist and holds its curve. Wear it alone, or let it rest against the Solis cuff so the moon sits beside the sun.
INTERLUDE º COSMOS
Astra came first. Lunae is the moon. Solis and Stella follow.
A NOTE FROM RONG
Lunae is the drop I was most nervous to make. The moon has been done to death in jewellery, usually as something small and sweet. That is not how I read it.
The moon I grew up with was tàiyīn, the great yin, and Chang'e alone in her cold palace. The moon I read later was Artemis, armed and wanting no one. The same crescent, opposite tempers. I wanted a piece that could hold both, and sit on any body without asking permission.
Lunae is the second of four in Cosmos. One arc of silver, worn close.
