Some nights the moon doesn't show at all, and the sky is better for it — darker, deeper, lit only by what glints inside the dark. This necklace is that night. A rope of black beads, crocheted in the round, carries a row of natural larvikite stones — grey, shimmering, each one flecked like cloud over a dark sea — and fine silver chains swag between them like the last light of the evening.

Below, the black moon itself: a round natural stone medallion, bead-embroidered into a black bezel edged with crystal, rising out of the rope the way the moon rises out of the horizon.

One of a kind — this is the only one. Arrives gift-ready.

Czech glass seed beads crocheted in the round, natural larvikite stones, stainless chains and clasp. Recommendations: do not wet, protect from chemicals and perfume, store flat. Handcrafted; measurements are approximate.

The tale of this motif

Folk motifs carry meanings older than writing — poppies guard the home, wheat calls the harvest, birds watch over travellers.

Beads for the night side

Black glass has a long memory: Victorian mourning jewellery was strung from it, and a black-ground gerdan makes every red burn brighter. Our skulls, bats and serpents are beaded exactly like the poppies — the same seed beads, the same hands in Ukraine — only the motifs have changed.
