Images are AI-generated renders of the design, not photographs of your cast piece — which is made to order in solid 925 sterling silver to this same design.
A crescent moon grown from thorned branches, roughly 30 mm tall, with a single pear-cut lab-created red stone bezel-set where the horns curve in. Named for the goddess of the moon and the crossroads. It hangs from a darkened sterling chain, included.
Solid 925 sterling silver, hand-oxidized so the dark settles into the branches and the silver stays bright on the thorn tips. Its kin are the Bramble thorn cuff and the Wane crescent — this one carries both the briar and the moon.

Why you can trust it
- Solid 925 sterling silver. The real metal all the way through, not a coating.
- Any detail of this piece can change. The stone, its colour and cut, the metal finish, the size, the engraving, the proportions — because it is cast after you order, nothing here is fixed. Ask for the changes you want before you buy. Change enough and it stops being this design and becomes yours, at no extra cost beyond what the new piece takes to make.
- Every stone is lab-created and named. No mystery stones, no natural-stone pricing games.
- No plated base metal. Solid sterling all the way through — not silver-coloured brass.
- We tell you how it ages. The dark is an oxidized patina, not a coating — only microns thick. Worn every day it wears brighter along the raised edges while the recesses stay black. That is how oxidized silver ages, and it is not a fault.
- Made to order, and protected. Free US shipping, thirty-day returns, and Etsy buyer protection on every order.
- Wearing it on Halloween? Order by September 23 — it is cast after you order, so that is the last day the making and the post office both fit. Intricate casts take longer; ask us first.
Wearing it
Hecate reads at two distances: across a room it is a crescent moon; up close it is a tangle of thorned branches with a single drop of red where the horns curve in. Wear it alone over black, or let it anchor a layered neckline and keep whatever sits above it finer. The stone sits low in the crescent, so it catches the light when you move.

Keep dry; polish the raised silver gently and leave the oxidized recesses dark — the finish is meant to deepen with wear.
