Such jewels were worn by Slavic and Viking women. It is a symbol of fertility, good luck and happy life. Lunitsa was involved in special rituals that enhanced its effect.
It is believed that the Slavic necklace with the sign of Moon was worn by every second Slav lady, because in those days, besides beauty, the decoration contained the deepest sacred significance. Slavic pagan jewelry in the form of moon invoked the power of the night luminary, healed from infertility, favored conception, during bearing the child and gave a relief of birth pains. Interestingly, the sign of Lunnitsa was often found not only in the Slavic peoples, but also in Europe and Asia. This speaks of the truly powerful power of such amulets.
Due to their strength and durability since ancient times, the horns/antlers of animals were used in the manufacture of weapons and jewelry.
Care: do not wet, and wear with pleasure.

Roman and Oksana live in Ukraine and love Viking culture and design! Roman carves amulets, knife handles and accessories from bone, antlers and horn, all shed naturally by the animals. Oksana takes care of the marketing and of running their shop on Etsy.
From Roman:
“My art is an integral part of my life. I do bone carving, mostly Viking style. In general, I can carve anything, but not all carving brings me pleasure and inspiration. The Viking history interests me and inspires me. I have been carving for more than 15 years and have sold my work to people in many different countries. I am very happy that I can share my art and my products far beyond my own country. Each new design in anything I make is a challenge. I love everything about my work. I never do anything I don’t like.”
