"Lunula aurea" Roman necklace with freshwater pearls

This very delicate necklace is the epitome of femininity.
 Small freshwater pearls are individually hand-wound on gold-plated brass wire and connected with a toggle clasp.
 The small lunula (crescent moon pendant) in the middle is the protective symbol for all women and brings the goddess to work in us ... ♥
 The "Armilla" bracelet goes perfectly with it!
 
 The lunula is THE symbol of femininity! It is seen as a symbol of feminine strength and identity and stands for intuition, creativity and sensuality.
 
 The moon goddess Luna wore a crescent moon as a symbol on her head or in her hand.
 Luna embodies the feminine side in the heaven of gods  and   is the counterpart to Sol, the male sun god.
 Among the many forms of lucky charms and amulets  in Roman times, crescent-shaped ornaments are particularly common.
 From the 2nd century AD we encounter them in almost all Roman settlements, burial grounds and military camps. But the lunula lucky charms were also widespread in Germania, as numerous finds prove.
 The meaning of the lunula has been handed down in writing several times. 
 Children and women in particular put their trust in the disastrous powers of the lunula.
