Crescent Necklace
The crescent, a symbol which signifies both the prospect of renewal and the certainty of endings. As a bright sliver of moon it marks the beginning of a new cycle and the return of light in the darkness. As the sickle of Death and the harvest, it promises that everything which begins, must also end.
This crescent necklace represents the bright other side of memento mori, latin for 'remember that you will die' - a call to memento vivere: 'remember to live'.
