Blue Flash Rainbow Moonstone Jewelry, Full Moon Tree of Life Pendant, Celestial Lunar Jewelry, Black Wire Wrapped pendant handmade artisan statement piece by PhoenixFire Designs.
The Tree of Life is a concept that's been featured in myth, story and legend literally all around the world. Since ancient times, people have used variations on the theme. Connecting all things - the realms of the spirit, the physical, the Divine and the mundane - the roots of the Tree and the branches touch all things and bring them together in harmony.
This pendant is handmade using painstaking wire-wrapping techniques. Permanently colored black wire (over copper core) frames and encircles the pendant, and is then used as the roots, trunk and branches of the tree. This tree is bare of leaves like one would see in Winter and features a large, rainbow moonstone "full moon" behind the branches. This piece has a very mystical feeling to me and a stillness to it as well.
Rainbow moonstone is an amazing stone that's almost impossible to photograph. The stone is "alive" with iridescent fire and a color shift towards blue in various types of light. Moonstone is of course associated with the Moon and with the Goddess Diana. It's a powerful stone said to protect those of a sensitive nature and bring good emotions to the wearer. Because of it's tie to emotions and the moon, it's said to be a woman's gemstone.
This moonstone is very lovely with lots of natural blue fire and a nice fat, puffy shape to the bead. This is some of the nicest rainbow moonstone I've ever offered. You are getting quality in this piece.
__ Moonstone Size ___
This listing is YOUR CHOICE of the slightly smaller 9mm moon or the larger 12mm moon. Both versions use the same exact size tree and frame, approximately 1.25" (32mm) in diameter. This rainbow moonstone is 100% natural gemstone and will have natural variation in specific color and amount of flash.
(My most recent batch of moonstones are both slightly smaller and slightly larger than previously listed, so I've adjusted this listing accordingly. Previously, the stones were in the middle at 10mm but those are sold out and no longer available.)
** Exact pendants pictured have sold. YOURS WILL BE HAND MADE UPON RECEIPT OF ORDER and will have a little bit of natural variety in it - just like a real tree! - making it beautifully unique. Please see "Ready to ship in" time notice by the shipping info.

* Care and Handling of Handmade Jewelry *
By it's very nature, handmade jewelry is going to be inherently more delicate than something mass-manufactured. It's important to always apply the "last on; first off" rule meaning put your jewelry on last when getting ready and take it off first. Permanent wire coatings, protective coatings, non-tarnish finishes and gemstones can be damaged by exposure to various chemicals, including things like lotions, hairsprays and perfumes among others. It's also important to NEVER submerge handmade jewelry in any kind of liquid, nor use any abrasive clothes, brushes or cleaners as it can damage the piece. Do not wear in the shower, tub, pool or other time when the piece may get submerged in water.
By following these guidelines and with normal wear and gentle care, your handmade jewelry should last you for years and years!
