Copper Mountain Turquoise and Rainbow Moonstone Rosary Necklace with Mountain Crescent
A little piece of the Colorado night sky to wear close. A hammered copper crescent, hand-stamped with a mountain ridge and a row of stars, hangs at the center of the necklace. On one side, a rainbow moonstone rosary chain glows soft blue against oxidized sterling silver, with a green Copper Mountain turquoise teardrop dangling from it. On the other, a row of tiny turquoise cubes leads into an oxidized sterling silver round-link chain.
It's a little wild and a little mismatched on purpose, the way the best things in life usually are.

The Stones: Earth, Sky and Moon
Turquoise is the sky stone, carried for thousands of years as protection by travelers and wanderers. Copper Mountain turquoise has a green, earthy color all its own, like the mountains after a summer rain.
Rainbow moonstone is the goddess stone, the moon's own light, for intuition and new beginnings. And copper is the metal of Venus, worn for warmth and balance.
Together with the mountains and stars on the crescent, it's a necklace for the woman who finds herself outside: on the trail, under the night sky, wherever the road takes her next.

How to Wear It
This is the main piece, so give it room: an open neckline, a linen blouse, a denim shirt with the top buttons undone. The copper crescent warms up the dark silver and looks right at home with earthy colors, leather and denim.
Natural Gemstone Variation
No two turquoise stones share the same color and matrix, and every moonstone has its own glow. Your necklace will be uniquely yours.
About the photos: The photos on this page are AI-created to show the design and how the necklace looks when worn. Your necklace is handmade in our studio, and the natural stones will vary a little in color and pattern.
Jewelry Care
Put it on after lotion and perfume, and take it off before swimming, showering or exercising. Turquoise is porous and moonstone is on the softer side, so keep them away from water and chemicals. Oxidized silver softens and highlights with wear, and copper naturally darkens to a warm patina; skip polish, which removes the finish. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth and store it on its own.
