Want to bring a little moonglow to your everyday outfits? Creating an ethereal mood can be as easy as putting on a necklace or earrings with suns, moons, or stars. Celestial jewelry can be cute and whimsical or elegantly gothic depending on the style. Here are some unique pieces that will bring the cosmos down to you.
Moon Headpiece
If you’re looking for a cosplay headband or the perfect finishing touch for a witchcore outfit or your next trip to the Renaissance Faire, a triple moon goddess circlet ($44) is simple and elegant. Or for a truly spellbinding look, this crescent moon tiara ($130) features a halo of clear quartz crystals topped with stars and a single moon to make your special occasion shine.
Moon Necklaces
She might wax and wane as the nights pass, but the moon is our constant companion. Celebrate our mysterious big sister in the sky with a moon phase necklace ($28)–a classic piece that can work well with a lot of casual outfits. Wear it to dress up a t-shirt or as part of a soft witch aesthetic.
This dainty gold plated crescent moon necklace ($25) features a white gemstone star. It’s the perfect whimsigoth necklace to pair with boho-style dresses and layer with beads or a choker. If you prefer silver, this delicate moon pendant ($38) in sterling silver has a cute star detail with whimsical curlicues and a matching silver chain.
For another enchanting soft witch necklace, look no further than this moonstone necklace ($82) with a crescent moon Hecate symbol design and cubic zirconia embellishments. It’s mystical yet delicate, and it comes in a silver, gold, or rose gold finish to match every style. If your aesthetic is dark and gothic, check out this gorgeous black steel moon necklace ($20) in a lariat choker style. Whichever moon you choose is sure to add a hint of mystery to your jewelry box.
Sun, Moon and Star Jewelry
If you can’t pick a favorite celestial body, why not choose them all? These celestial pendants ($30+) come in three delicate designs of gold on black enamel backgrounds, and they come with customizable chains to match your personal style. For an antique look, this sun and moon necklace ($25) has a cute star charm and a pendant with rose and violet details. Wear it with dark red lipstick to really make those colors pop.
These sun and moon silver drop earrings ($28) are a delicate pair that would suit any boho outfit and could even add a soft and playful touch to a formal dress for prom or a friend’s wedding. For a unique look, you’ll adore these copper moon earrings ($34) with blue-green accents created with a flame patina technique that makes every pair one of a kind.
Sun Jewelry
Personally, I make a habit of staying out of the sun, but I wouldn’t be opposed to carrying the daystar around in a less deadly form–such as this gorgeous medallion ($69+) that comes in silver or gold with natural gemstone accents. If you like to consult the cards, consider this tarot card necklace ($249+) featuring the Sun card in solid sterling silver or 14k gold.
If gold isn’t your color, these silver sun pendants ($13) set with real crystals can bring a touch of boho chic to your outfits. Choose from amethyst, obsidian, rose quartz, tiger’s eye, and more. For a minimalist tribute to our nearest star, this sunburst stacking ring set ($25) has one dainty onyx ring paired with a gold sunburst ring that brings to mind the setting sun.
Celestial Jewelry: Bracelets & Rings
Put the night sky in your hands with this delicate ring ($95+) with a blue enamel background featuring stars and a dainty moon. It comes in yellow gold, rose gold, or silver to suit a variety of looks. For wearing with casual outfits, you’ll love this silver moon and sun ring ($48) with a tarnished silver style, or try this boho crescent moon statement ring ($42) on for size (the teardrop-shaped black onyx is a great touch).
A minimalist celestial charm bracelet ($94+) is perfect for everyday looks, and this one with moons, stars, and a sun charm would be lovely on its own or worn with other bracelets. For a chunky, hippie-inspired take on the look, these sun and moon beaded bracelets ($15) feature real gemstones and glass beads–and they’re a total steal. If you want a more ornate, eye-catching style, this gold charm bracelet ($30) features vintage-style charms with stars, moons, and suns with lots of eclectic details–and it’s also available as an anklet or necklace.
How to Layer Necklaces
For a cool and funky layered necklace effect, all you have to do is select two or more necklaces of different lengths and wear them at the same time. Ideally, you should stick to the same color scheme (i.e. keep silver with silver), but experimenting with other colors and textures can add a bit of interest. For instance, a set of black onyx beads ($49) would look killer with a few silver chains of different lengths. A ribbon necklace also creates an interesting texture to pair with metal chains for a bit of edge or pearls for an ultra-feminine aesthetic.
For a multi-level effect, go for a choker, a long chain with a pendant, and several shorter necklaces in between. Or, you could opt for a layered necklace like this sterling silver one ($41) with twinkling stars and a moon pendant.
With the return of the whimsigoth trend, celestial jewelry is definitely here to stay. It’s a classic look that always brings mystery, magic, and a touch of playfulness to your day. If you long to commune with the heavens, these pieces are here to remind you there’s a big universe out there.
