Humans, especially women, have long had a profound connection to the moon. We crave its attention, its guidance, and its mystic properties. In astrology, the moon is considered female, presiding over our fertility, emotions, and monthly cycles. We are affected by her pull — receding and renewing as often as the tides.

We find ourselves drawn between bouts of introversion and introspection and moments of extreme passion and energy. Living life in keeping with the lunar phases has a special meaning to women: As we are emotionally and, perhaps, physically, following the same phases.

As the moon needs to recede, withdraw, and renew each month, so do we. We travel across different emotional states the same way the moon travels around the Earth.

The waning crescent moon happens when the fraction of the moon that is illuminated is decreasing on its way to becoming a new moon. This stage of the moon symbolizes surrender. It is a time to rest and recuperate. Right now just relax and surrender to the universe.

This ring features three 4mm gray moonstones along with a sterling silver waning crescent moon. This ring will comfortably fit a US size 8.
