“Oh, Jerry, don’t let’s ask for the moon. We have the stars.” — Bette Davis, from the 1942 film classic “Now, Voyager.”
These days, more and more Hollywood stars are reaching for the moon…the constellations, the sun, and the planets. Celestial-style jewelry and fashions have been sweeping the red carpet lately, inspiring the everyday streetwear and accessories we earthlings love.
According to the editors of Accessories Magazine, “Designers are having fun with celestial-inspired jewelry and small leather goods, all which feature the moon, stars and constellations.”
Here are four affordable pieces to add a heavenly touch to your winter wardrobe or holiday gift list. Happy shopping!
Solar Power
The MET Store at The Metropolitan Museum of Art is our Secret Santa resource for unique jewelry gifts (more on this next month). We love their bright gold Sun Pin and plan to wear it on a black ribbon choker over the holidays. $75 at www.metmuseum.org
Blue Lace Agate Sun Pendant
This Blue Lace Agate Sun Pendant features Alchemia, or “Zero Karat Gold,” a blend of base metals combined to simulate the look and feel of 18K gold. Alchemia is inspired from the ancient mythical craft of transforming lesser metals into gold. Available for $26.95 at the themysticaljewel.com
Super Moon
Wren & Glory’s geometric moon necklace with crystal studs looks divine on its own, or layered with your favorite chains. At $85, it’s a down-to-earth bargain. To see more celestial- style designs, visit wrenglory.com.
