Moonlight on a strap

Description

The lunnytsia (moonlight) is one of the oldest known feminine amulets — a symbol of the Moon, feminine power, gentleness, and protection. In Ukrainian tradition, it was worn as a sign of harmony with nature, inner strength, and connection to ancient female energy. Archaeologists have uncovered lunnytsias from the times of Kyivan Rus, worn by women of all social classes.

This lunnytsia is handcrafted from alder wood — a light, warm-to-the-touch material that was traditionally believed to “fear no water” and symbolizes purification. The wooden moon hangs on an adjustable faux leather cord, so you can wear it as a choker or a long necklace — whatever suits your style.
