In ancient times, tribal archers affixed turquoise to their bows to ensure their arrows reached the intended target. It was also believed that to look at turquoise directly after gazing at the moon in a particular phase would bring luck and prosperity. The Shoot for the Moon Pendant is inspired by the union of these narratives. A deep blue, mystical piece of incredibly collectible and rare Bisbee turquoise, with signature reddish brown matrix, sits atop a handmade sterling crescent moon adorned with arrows and intricate details. It hangs long and low on 30 inches of sterling chain, and will be available in my next shop update on Thursday at 8pm est. I've missed this classic design of mine and am excited to bring it back into regular rotation, along with a few new variations of it. I'm off to enjoy a few more hours at the beach before I head home to work on pieces for Thursday. Hope you're all enjoying this beautiful Sunday! 💙 . . . #shootforthemoon #moonnecklace #moonjewelry #turquoisejewelry #turquoiseoverdiamonds #bisbee #bisbeeturquoise #mythology #mythologyjewelry #bohojewelry #bohemianjewelry #witchstyle #witchythings #witchjewelry #grungestyle #hippiechic #arrownecklace #summerfashion (at Nahant Beach Reservation)

These three statement pieces are now in the shop, along with the ring dish from my previous post and a pair of turquoise earrings! There was supposed to be a bunch more pieces, but as some of you read in my story post, I had an emergency to deal with first thing this morning that set me back quite a bit. My apologies, and thank you all for understanding and for the many DMs of kind words. The rest of the pieces that were intended for tonight will be available at some point next week (TBA) once I'm back from a wedding I'm attending this weekend. Thanks again for your understanding and continued support. I appreciate it to the moon and back. 🌙💎 . . . #soliloquyjewelry #statementnecklace #statementjewelry #turquoise #turquoisejewelry #abalone #bisbeeturquoise #moonnecklace #cuffbracelet #armcandy #girlboss #witchjewelry #bohojewelry #gothic #grunge #whitewitch #hedgewitch (at Boston, Massachusetts)

Bisbee turquoise is some of the rarest and most valued material out there, and one of my favorite kinds of turquoise. It is a byproduct of one of the largest copper mines to ever exist, and at first was simply sent to the dump since the focus was copper and other metals. The mine workers would smuggle it out in their lunch boxes, and that’s how this incredible turquoise first hit the market. It is known for its striking blues, smoky chocolate brown to red matrix, and impeccable hardness (which for turquoise denotes high quality). The highest grade material came from an area of the mine known as the Lavender Pit, and this is where the vast majority of my collection is from. I rarely take these stones out to work with since they’re so sought after and hard to find, but I’m thinking of including a few in pieces soon. // Recently I’ve had a few people comment that they miss my turquoise pieces and posts about this amazing material. If you’ve been following me for a while I’m sure you can recall a time when almost all of my pieces featured turquoise, but now I work predominantly with other materials. Turquoise is still my favorite, but as the handmade jewelry market on IG grew I felt that it became incredibly saturated with turquoise work, and so being the Aries that I am, felt a pull to differentiate myself. 😂♈️ But I can’t lie, I miss working with and sharing info about my favorite stone, so expect to see more turquoise jewelry and posts like this in the future! 💙
