Mini Moon & Sun Necklace (Wave)
- Sun and moon in micro-inlaid crystal — a celestial tradition made wearable.
- Hand-set crystal mosaic in sterling silver, crafted in Guadalajara.
- 1⅛ inch pendant on an adjustable 18–20 inch chain — sits gently at the collarbone or just below.
In Guadalajara, there is a tradition older than the city itself — the belief that the sun and moon are not opposites but lovers, chasing each other across the sky in an eternal, tender orbit. You see it in the murals of Orozco, in the carved stone facades of colonial churches, in the tin lanterns that throw crescent shadows across courtyards at dusk. The celestial pair is never apart. One is always rising as the other falls.
Mosaico Jewels works in a medium that carries its own deep lineage: micro-inlaid crystal, set piece by piece into sterling silver by hand. The technique descends from pre-Columbian mosaic traditions — turquoise and shell pressed into obsidian mirrors, jade tessellated into funeral masks — filtered through centuries of Mexican silversmithing that made Guadalajara one of the great jewelry cities of the Americas. Each tiny crystal fragment is cut and placed individually, building up color and pattern the way a mosaic artist builds an image: not by painting, but by assembling light.
What you get is something that feels ancient and immediate at the same time.
The pendant is set in sterling silver and measures 1⅛ inches from bail to base with a width of ¾ inches at its widest — small enough to sit quietly against the chest, detailed enough to reward a closer look. It ships on a sterling silver chain that adjusts from 18 to 20 inches, so it rests right where you want it. At 4 grams total, the weight is barely there. Hypoallergenic and nickel-free.
Handcrafted by Mosaico Jewels in Guadalajara, Mexico.

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.
