Rave review: Take it from one satisfied shopper
“Love this necklace and have been wearing it ever since I received it! It is dainty and light around the neck, yet feels well built and solidly crafted. The opal has a lot of fire in it and matches perfectly with the mellow tone of the gold. Shipping was very fast for being custom made and the length is perfect. It’s very comfortable and I appreciated the pretty packaging. Thank you!” — KH
Seller spotlight: Meet Heidi Girard of Liesel Love
“I’ve always been inspired by the sky—I love stars and the moon. I picked opal as the stone for my moon necklace because, like stars, each one is unique. Since it’s solid 14K gold, it won’t tarnish or change color, and the chain is laser-soldered directly onto the moon pendant, giving it a light feel and eliminating the need for jump rings. I think what people love most about this design is that it can be worn every day—it goes with any outfit and is easy to layer with other necklaces. This piece is one of Liesel Love’s most popular items, so I try to always have some made and ready to ship. ” — Heidi Girard

What a beautiful treasure to give as a gift! Love your diamond and opal moon! In the past, crescent moon jewelry was given to a sweetheart as a token of love especially Victorians who wore them on their honeymoon. It's one of the oldest symbols in our history and certainly one that will stay with us.

What a beautiful gift for Valentine's Day, or for a loved one with an October birthday. My daughter's birthday is in October and this would be such a precious keep-sake gift for her.

Thank you Aleksa and congratulations on the feature, Heidi. What a wonderful modern piece you have created for all of us who love the moon, stars, opals and diamonds. Your beautiful artistry reminds me of jewelry from the last decade and first decades at the turn of the 19th century when these motifs were quite popular on stick pins, brooches and pendants. Best wishes and happy sales!

Beautiful necklace! Gemstone Opal soothes nerves perfectly! And as amulet opal brings success in all matters! Most of all, this stone is suitable for those born under the sign of Fish.

Yana from BroochBonBon said 1 year ago
I want to ask other sellers - why do you read articles in Etsy blog? I read to find out new trends. Find out what people like. And most importantly, this is my source of inspiration. I make brooches. and now I read the article and thought - it is not difficult to make a brooch multifunctional. a small addition on the wrong side-and the brooch turns into a stylish pendant. And I'm already using this in my work !
