Mini Moon & Sun Necklace (Bugambilia)
- Sun and moon rendered in hand-set crystal inlay — a Guadalajaran tradition of mosaic artisanship.
- Sterling silver setting and adjustable chain, hypoallergenic and nickel-free.
- 1⅛ inch pendant on an 18–20 inch chain — sits right at the collarbone, quietly luminous.
In Guadalajara, the sun and moon have never been opposites. They are partners in the same sky, trading places at the horizon, each one holding the memory of the other. Walk through the old city at dusk and you can feel it — the warmth of the day still radiating from the stone walls while the first cool silver of evening settles in. It is a place where dualities don't compete. They converse.
Mosaico Jewels works in a tradition of crystal inlay that has deep roots in Mexican artisanship — the painstaking practice of setting tiny individual crystals by hand into metal forms, building color and image the way a muralist builds a wall: piece by piece, with intention. Each fragment of crystal catches light at its own angle, so the surface is never flat, never static. The sun half and moon half of this pendant read as two temperaments rendered in one small, luminous field. It is devotional work disguised as adornment.
Sterling silver holds the whole composition together — the frame, the bail, and the adjustable chain that ships with it, letting you set the length anywhere from 18 to 20 inches depending on where you want the pendant to fall. The pendant itself measures 1⅛ inches in length including the bail and ¾ inches at its widest point, with a weight of 4 grams — present against the collarbone without any heaviness. Sterling silver is naturally hypoallergenic, and the crystal inlay is smooth to the touch, sealed and secure.
There is something quietly radical about wearing the sun and the moon at once. Not choosing. Not waiting for one to set so the other can rise.

Got questions?
We've got answers
Find fast answers about shipping, returns, and our unique jewelry.
How long does shipping take?
Most orders ship within one business day of placing your order — sometimes the same day. Economy shipping typically takes about a week via USPS, while standard shipping (Priority Mail) arrives in 2-3 business days. We're based in North Carolina, so East Coast orders tend to arrive a little faster. You'll receive a tracking number as soon as your order ships.
Will the jewelry fade or tarnish?
Our jewelry is made from a variety of materials, including sterling silver. Sterling silver will eventually tarnish, but you can slow that process by storing it in a small airtight bag or container, or in a special anti-tarnish bag. If it’s lost some shine, it can be gently washed with a soft cloth, warm water, and a drop of mild soap, such as blue Dawn. If you still see tarnish, use an anti-tarnish cloth. Do not use commercial jewelry cleaners unless they are specifically labeled safe for sterling silver. The best way to keep your sterling silver shiny is to wear it often! The more you wear it, the less tarnish you’ll see. And never wear sterling silver in the swimming pool or hot tub! Chlorine will cause it to tarnish almost instantly.
Most other metals don’t exactly tarnish, but they can get a little dull if they’re not worn. Washing with a tiny amount of mild soap is the best way to bring them back to life again. You can prevent this by putting on your jewelry last, after you apply hairspray or perfume, and don’t wear them in the shower or bath.
Genuine pearls do require extra gentle care. Don’t ever use commercial jewelry cleaners on them; you will almost certainly damage the nacre and destroy their unique sheen and iridescence. Be very careful about hairspray, cosmetics, and perfume, and absolutely never put them in an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner!
Can I return or exchange?
Yes. You have 30 days from receipt to return or exchange anything that isn't marked Final Sale. Items need to be in new condition. Exchanges ship free, with no minimum order required. Returns are refunded minus a $5 shipping fee (once per shipment, not per item). We don’t ever charge restocking fees.
Is your jewelry hypoallergenic?
Most of our pieces are hypoallergenic, but not all. You can filter to only show hypoallergenic pieces when browsing, and you will also see an icon on all pieces certified hypoallergenic and nickel-free by their makers.
Can I track my order?
Yes — as soon as your order ships, you'll receive a tracking number by email so you can follow it the whole way to your door.
What makes your jewelry different?
Honestly? Most of it comes down to Amanda. Every maker on this site has been personally researched and verified — she checks that pieces are genuinely handmade, by the person who claims to have made them, using the materials listed. These are small-batch pieces in sterling silver, gold-filled, and genuine gemstones, mostly made in the USA. They aren’t factory pieces, aren’t from resellers, and are not the same thing you'd find on a hundred other sites. When something sells out here, it often stays sold out.
