The Sun, The Moon.

sun and moon necklace – Recycled silver and bronze coins

I have recycled a pair of wonderful old coins for this very delightful Hairy Growler sun and moon necklace. The details of the coins are visible on the reverse.

Each one is completely unique and like everything on my website handcrafted to order using only traditional hand tools and methods.

Approx 16mm – 18mm diameter (will vary fractionally as each one is carefully handmade)

They are wee and very much everyday wearable!

The sun and moon are represent, duality and balance, often embodying opposing forces like day and night, light and darkness, activity and rest. They also symbolize the cyclical nature of life, with the sun representing vitality and the moon representing reflection. In literature, their interplay can illustrate themes of harmony, transformation, and the human experience.

The Sun:
  • Energy and Activity: The sun is often associated with masculine energy, vibrancy, and action.
  • Consciousness and Illumination: It symbolizes clarity, awareness, and the unveiling of truth.
  • Arrogance and Power: In some contexts, the sun can represent arrogance or the ego, particularly when juxtaposed with the moon.
  • Life and Vitality: It embodies the life-giving force, warmth, and the potential for growth. 
The Moon:
  • Receptivity and Femininity:

    The moon is often linked to feminine energy, intuition, and the subconscious. 

  • Reflection and Mystery:

    It represents introspection, dreams, and the hidden aspects of the self. 

  • Cyclical Nature:

    The moon’s phases symbolize the continuous cycle of life, death, and rebirth. 

  • Supernatural Influence:

    In some literary works, the moon is associated with the supernatural, magic, and the unseen forces of nature. 

Symbolic Interplay:
  • Duality and Balance:

    The sun and moon together represent the interplay of opposing forces that create balance and harmony in the universe and within individuals. 

  • Transformation and Change:

    Their cyclical nature, where one follows the other, often symbolizes change, growth, and the constant flux of life. 

  • Harmony and Unity:

    The sun and moon, despite their differences, can also symbolize the unity of opposing energies and the interconnectedness of all things. 

  • Yin and Yang:

    In some traditions, the sun represents yang (masculine, active) and the moon represents yin (feminine, receptive), highlighting the dynamic relationship between these forces.

  • Impossible Love:
    The sun and moon, though they don’t shine at the same time, can symbolize an impossible love or a fleeting moment of connection.
