Crafting Celestial Beauty: The Intricacy of Reticulated Sterling Silver Lunar Jewelry

Flying Silver Studio crafts unique, celestial Lunar Jewelry using reticulated sterling silver. The mesmerizing patterns and textures created by the reticulation technique make each piece one-of-a-kind, mirroring the enigmatic beauty of the moon. Our Lunar Jewelry collection captures the ethereal essence of the night sky, offering you a timeless connection to the celestial realm.

The Beauty of Reticulated Sterling Silver

Sterling silver is a timeless and elegant metal, but reticulated sterling silver takes beauty to a whole new level.


Reticulated sterling silver undergoes a specialized heating process to create unique patterns and textures on the surface. The process of reticulation can be unpredictable, resulting in an organic, one-of-a-kind appearance that makes each piece truly exceptional.


I begin the process by depletion guilding the sterling silver by repeated heating and cooling. This raises the pure silver to the surface. The metal is then heated for the final time. The surface layer of pure silver dances on top of the core of sterling silver and the ripples, bumps, and lunar craters are formed.


Reticulated silver has a distinctive texture, resembling the rugged and mysterious terrain of the moon's surface. This captivating texture gives jewelry pieces a sense of depth and character, making them stand out with a mesmerizing allure. These pieces have a matte finish, with subtle burnishing to bring sparkle and a sophisticated touch to the jewelry.

Incorporating reticulated sterling silver into celestial inspired jewelry designs brings a sense of artistry and individuality, making each piece a distinctive work of wearable art.


Lunar Jewelry designs embrace the spherical shapes of the full moon with intricate patterns that mimic the mesmerizing lunar landscapes. My designs are influenced by the captivating luminosity of the moon and I attempt to harness the unique textural qualities of reticulated sterling silver to evoke the moon’s compelling radiance.

Are you a big fan of the moon too? Its captivating impact on the natural world and human emotions is truly remarkable. The phases and radiance of the moon serve as my muse, inspiring the design of each piece to reflect the serenity of moonlit nights and the vibrant energy of the celestial body.


Drawing from the moon's ever-changing visage, Lunar Jewelry is designed with a sense of fluidity and dynamism, evoking the mystifying dance of light and shadow across the lunar surface. This inspiration results in jewelry that carries a sense of timeless elegance and a touch of otherworldly charm.


Lunar inspired pieces carry deep symbolism and meaning. Just as the moon waxes and wanes, lunar jewelry symbolizes the ebb and flow of life. It represents transformation, growth, and the cycles of renewal. The celestial connection evokes a sense of mystery and enchantment, making lunar jewelry not just an adornment, but a reflection of the your inner journey.


Connecting with Nature and the Cosmos

Lunar jewelry serves as a bridge between humanity and the universe, helping you form a connection with nature and the cosmos. Each phase of the moon has its own energy, influencing the natural world and human emotions.


When you align yourself with these celestial rhythms, you will feel a deeper connection to the world around you. It's a tangible reminder of our place in the grand tapestry of the universe, evoking a sense of awe and wonder.
