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 ancien t 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. Further Reading The Lunar Crescent in Ancient JewelryThe Jewelry of PompeiiAmulets and Protection in Ancient Jewelry Show more
