GLASS SPIRITUALITY NECKLACE: ISLAM

Under the Light of the Moon

The history of the crescent moon and star symbol is very long, and according to various sources, the symbol appeared on early Byzantine coins before being adopted by the Ottomans. Today it has been adopted by a number of Muslim countries as a symbol of Islam, a religion that is often misunderstood or misinterpreted, but which holds the central tenet of surrendering to God and his will.

This gorgeous handmade necklace features a crescent moon and star symbol stamped into a colorful piece of olive glass. Artist Jenny Gaynor uses Muranese glassworking techniques to create these beautiful pieces, starting with a brass mold that is then used to imprint the glass. The 24kt gold-filled chain features nine beads made of peridot, one of the birthstones of August. Part of the UncommonGoods spiritual collection.
