Celtic Moon Pendant – Hand-Forged Sterling Silver | Algiz-Rune Art

Silver lunar pendant based on 10th–14th century Celtic forms, possibly linked to early Marian symbolism

Hand-forged in sterling silver, this pendant follows simplified lunar forms found in medieval Celtic contexts. The design may be interpreted as a schematic depiction associated with St. Mary, among other possible meanings. Finished with an antique patina, each piece shows slight variations from handwork.

This pendant is based on lunar-shaped ornaments documented in Celtic regions between the 10th and 14th centuries. The form is deliberately simple, with a schematic approach that leaves room for multiple interpretations, including possible association with Marian symbolism.

It is hand-forged in sterling silver and treated with a controlled patina to emphasise surface depth. The finishing process is done manually, resulting in a slightly varied texture rather than a uniform surface.

On a cord or chain, the pendant sits flat and remains stable. The size and weight make it easy to wear over long periods without feeling heavy.

Each piece is made by hand; small differences in surface, tone, and form are part of the process.

About the Design
Lunar motifs appear across both pre-Christian and Christian contexts in medieval Europe. In later interpretations, similar forms are sometimes connected with symbolic representations of St. Mary, though meanings vary depending on region and period.
