‘Some are born to sweet delight

Some are born to endless night’

-William Blake

'It is my wish for you to be loved to the point of madness'

-Andre Breton

Above all else, this jeweled moon ring is about love. Ghostly, dark love; love unearthed from the uncanny, from the strange place of the soul, shadowed and yet, still gem like, a treasure.

Dual natured, it is partly based on the idea of belonging to oneself, to accepting the darker, more difficult, or undesired aspects of ourselves and either working at changing them, or accepting them and moving on. Growth in either case is essential, and for me, this ring, and it’s counterpart, the ‘Belonging to the Darkness’ ring, is worn as such, a declaration of self-love, a reminder that belong to myself first and foremost.

On the other side of this inspiration is the beautiful, and yet at times, painful (longing, fear) aspects, of romantic love. Two hearts joined together, a commitment, an eternal bond. For the surrealists, love was a high state of being, a trance like state, revered the way the uncanny, the objective chance and death/chaos were. Andre Breton often explored the unreal, hysterical aspects of love, even wishing for his daughter to be one day ‘loved to the point of madness,’ or L’amour Fou (Mad Love.)

As a wedding band, this ring perfectly nests with the ‘Belonging to the Darkness’ ring. It features a jeweled crescent moon, inspired by Victorian jewelry, a time period in which every day objects were revered, ornamental and detailed craftsman ship reigned, and objects were placed beneath bell jars for sacred reverence. Victorian filigree wraps around the sides of the ring, while a ‘bone’ cathedral holds up the moon, a nod to the underworld, and to Persephone, who found herself in its shadowy realms as its Queen.

It can be worn solo, nested, stacked or as a 'midi'. 

This listing is for one Sterling Silver Endless Night Part I Ring, set with Clear Quartz stones in the size of your choosing. Each ring is hand oxidized to achieve our favorite shade of stormy gray and then highlighted to reveal the bright luminous silver beneath. 

Details:

- Crescent Moon is approximately 17mm wide 

- Sits 5.5mm off of the finger

- Solid sterling silver 

Clear Quartz: 

Despite its ubiquitous accessibility within the crystal kingdom, clear quartz remains one of the most potent crystals one can own, considered to be the 'Master Healer' as it can be used to assist you with any issue. Thought to be a 'memory/record keeper' that enables recall of lost memories, it also helps amplifies spiritual pursuits and increases psychic awareness. The spherical shape, akin to the traditional 'crystal ball,'  has long been a symbol of divination and magic.

These stones are hand cut and therefore may have very slight differences in size and may have small signs of the carver's hands along the edges. These are not fabricated by a machine, they are made by hand and therefore aren't uniformly perfect. The photographs accurately portray the quality of the stones and the cuts.
