ABOUT THIS PIECE
Made from 9kt recycled solid gold, St Dwynwen who is the Saint of Love, is the perfect keepsake to wear close to your heart as you navigate through this wild & weird thing called life. What a talisman to keep so close because isn't love what this thing called life is all about? Well it's time to meet St Dwynwen, the Welsh patron saint of lovers (or the Welsh equivalent of St Valentine!)
St Dwynwen lived during the 5th century & legend has it that she was one of the prettiest of Mr Brychan's 24 daughters. Later in life she fell in love with a prince but her father had already arranged for her to marry someone else.
Dwynwen was so upset that she could not marry her chosen man she begged to forget about him. Later she fell asleep & was visited by an angel who told her to consume a sweet potion designed to erase all memory of her prince.
After this, she was granted 3 wishes. One of wish was to be rid of all men for life and that she was granted. After being passionately in love, St Dwynwen never married.
She later founded a convent in Wales where a well named after her became a place of pilgrimage. Visitors to the well believed that the sacred fish & eels that lived in the well could foretell whether or not their relationship would be a happy one!
Remains of Dwynwen's church can still be seen today, so hop skip & jump on over to Wales my friend, let's put this to the test!
And so today we wear the Saint Dwynwen Pendant as an ode to undying Love & Happy Relationships, something we wish upon each & every human walking this magical planet.

For all of our Pendants, you have the option of choosing 18”, 20” or 23” necklace for no extra cost.
To Clarify, our 18” chain necklace is made from our fine chain, and the 20” and 23” length chains made from our 'everyday chain’. These are technically the same ‘curb’ chain design, just slightly heavier in weight for the longer lengths.
We also have a range of adjustable ‘textured’ chains such as our Rope Chain, Washington Paperclip Chain, Pearl Chain, Minimalist Figari Chain (The list goes on…) available in various lengths which you can check out here.
We suggest getting a piece of string or a measuring tape and pop it around the back of your neck to measure exactly where you would like the pendant to sit on your body. For a rough guide, (as we all have different & equally amazing bodies), the 23” chain sits around or just above your nipple line, and the 16” chain sits at your top collarbone.
We are big fans of layering necklaces & we're pretty sure you are too!
All of our chains are adjustable in length by 2 inches to make sure you can style your layers to perfection and mix them up with other pieces in your jewellery wardrobe.
JEWELRY MAKING PROCESS
Our jewelry is thoughtfully crafted using sustainable materials and ethical practices, ensuring both beauty and a positive impact on the planet.
DESIGN
Every piece begins with a thoughtful design, often inspired by nature & travel.
Luna & Rose Founder Rosie, spends hours sketching her thoughts & ideas to bring her unique jewelry concepts to life. This is a process that is constantly 'in progress' as she doesnt focus on traditional seasons of fashion.
WAX CARVING
Using traditional wax carving techniques, our talented Wax-smiths carve Rosie's 2D designs into 3D wax forms. This is a fascinating process that can take weeks in itself to perfect the shapes & intricate details of the hand-drawn designs.
Made is our head Wax carver who we have been working with for over 7 years!
SILVERSMITHS
Once the wax form has been finalised & set into a master mould, our skilled Goldsmiths & Silversmiths handcraft each piece with precision, refining & polishing the solid metal to create timeless, high-quality jewelry.
Depending on the style & Metal, our production process is done in Bali & New Zealand.
every piece of jewellery deserves to shine as bright as you
OUR JEWELLERY IS 100% WATERPROOF. TO ENSURE THE LONGIEVITY OF YOUR PIECE, WE SUGGEST A LIGHT CLEAN EVERY 2 WEEKS TO REMOVE DIRT, GRIME & DUST BUILD UP.
