Background:
The crescent moon and star have been enduring symbols across cultures for thousands of years. In Mesopotamia, the crescent was associated with Nanna/Sîn, the lunar deity, often depicted alongside Ishtar (Venus) and Shamash (the Sun). Similar motifs appeared in Egypt with Khonsu and in Greece with Selene, later echoed by the Roman Luna and Artemis.

The star-and-crescent arrangement, originating as early as the Bronze Age, symbolized the Moon paired with Venus or the Sun. Over time it became linked to Byzantium, later the Ottoman Empire, and is now widely recognized as a symbol in Islamic art and identity. In Western tradition, the crescent-and-stars imagery also features in Marian iconography of the Virgin Mary, and in alchemy, silver has long been associated with the Moon.

This sterling silver ring interprets that legacy in a refined, minimalist form, designed for everyday wear while evoking the timeless relationship between the Moon and stars.
