Metal Moon Time Necklace

Vina Brown on the Moon Time design:
"This design was inspired by a coming-of-age ceremony I helped with during the winter months. The two young women were told that the ferns are their direct connection to Mother-Earth, and they were used to remind them of their innocence. Not too long after helping with this ceremony, I helped with a healing retreat for women who were survivors of sexual assault and violence. I went outside to ground myself before I had to present and asked for guidance to speak the good medicine to these women. As soon as I asked, I spotted a deer right in front of me; I looked down, and there were ferns all around me. I remembered the connection to innocence and Mother-Earth from the coming-of-age ceremony. 

I returned to the group and shared a message about remembering our connection to the source, and that no matter what happened to us, we all had a time when we were innocent. What happened to us does not take away our worthiness to return to our innocence and our connection to the healing power of the divine feminine of Mother Earth."

Ğiáxsix̌a for supporting Copper Canoe Woman! We want to give you some tips on caring for your pieces to help ensure that you’ll be able to wear it for the years to come.

​Care Tips:

• Please treat your jewelry with care. We don’t recommend storing your jewelry in a bag/purse, unless it’s wrapped in fabric, tucked into a small jewelry bag/roll, or in it’s original packaging.
• ​Take care when putting on jackets, purses, and bags so your jewelry doesn’t snag.
• ​Try not to let your jewelry get wet, please remove before showering or swimming. Water can damage the findings, and other metal parts of our jewelry.
• ​Put your jewelry on as a finishing touch. Perfumes, sunscreens, bug sprays and various skincare products can cause discoloration or a change in texture of any acrylic pieces in the jewelry.
• ​Avoid leaving your jewelry in the bathroom, or other humid environments. Humidity causes metal to tarnish.
• ​To clean the acrylic pieces, a microfiber cloth (and a little bit of water for stubborn marks) will leave them looking brand new.
• ​To clean brass pieces we suggest mild soap and water, or a non-abrasive jewelry cleaner. Please make sure that your brass jewelry is completely dried to avoid tarnishing.
• ​Please do not use any products that contain alcohol to clean your jewelry as it can damage the finish.

​If you have any other questions, please contact us! We’re happy to help.
