Dark Side of the Moon

Her name is Hecate. She is the keeper of the crossroads and the light in the darkness.

This is the latest addition to my Luna series pendants. A carved bone face is set in a simple basket weave bezel. Three drops of faceted Labradorite dangle beneath (... a little kinetic element that I just love).

Labadrorite is also sometimes referred to as 'black moonstone.' It's very much like the moon in that the stone is both dark, like the night, with flashes of cool blue fire which I find evocative of the cool moonlight.

I'm torn now between oxidizing and leaving the metal bright. In the gallery pictures below you will find an example of some earrings that match the dangles that have already been oxidized. Drop me a comment if you have the time to tell me if you think I should oxidize the pendant or leave it bright. Any and all feedback is welcomed and appreciated.
