Quartz, in many ways, is The Master Healer of the crystal world. Not only are most stones that you love simply variations of Quartz (Amethyst, Citrine, and Tiger's Eye, to name a few) but this beautiful stone is said to absorb whatever energy you put into it and emit it back onto you tenfold. This combination of Quartz and a Brass Crescent Moon is a perfect symbol for total and complete healing. This brass crescent moon is the second brass item in my shop and I have fell in love with using it in my pieces as it is such a reliable and long-lasting material. Brass is corrosion and rust-resistant while jewelry made out of brass can hold up well to regular wear and tear without deteriorating. Aging brass can lose some of its luster and have a rustic appearance (patina) that some enjoy but if you do not appreciate this look, you can simply polish the brass to restore it to its original gleam.

Everything you need to know about gold jewelry ✨
What is gold-filled?
Gold-filled pieces are stunning jewels that are second to pure gold. These pieces have gold that is mechanically bonded to the base metal. ( i.e brass and copper). Gold-filled is perfect for everyday wear. Because there is a higher percentage of gold bonded to the base, these babies won’t tarnish easily and are perfect for all skin types. ✨
Why do I use high-quality material?
I want to ensure that every piece of jewelry that you take home lasts as long as possible. These are not just trinkets, necklaces are everyday apparel that allows you to feel empowered and something with that much power should not be made cheap!
Overall:
As time goes on, eventually all gold pieces will begin to tarnish. But tarnishing does not mean it’s damaged or ruined. :) Tarnishing is a natural process that happens when metal alloys in gold pieces react with oxygen. Most of the time tarnishing can easily be polished off or shined away with a polishing cloth. A professional jeweler can also deep clean your gold jewelry safely. 🔮🖤
Please note: All stone/bezels will have electroplating instead of gold-filled material to best bond to the stone. Exposure to water, soap, or seawater is never recommended.
