The crescent moon is used in representations of Mary's miraculous conception and birth!
The crescent appears under Mary's feet in paintings of the Assumption (Meister of the Luzien-Legende,1485) and signifies her glory and victory over time and space. The most important application of the moon symbol occurred in representations of the Immaculate Conception. The obvious significance of victory over sin is enriched with the ideas of beauty and purity (pulchra ut luna, Litanies of Loreto) (see for example, Francesco Vanni, Altar of the Immaculate Conception, Montalcino, 1588).
This elegant, classy, tarnish resistant, hypoallergenic and lead free crescent earrings will remind you of our Blessed Virgin Mary’s presence in your life and that she’s always be there for you to light up your ways!
