For example, during the 19th century many believed that the crescent moon represented powerful feminine energy and the 'moon goddess'. Whilst a resurge in moon, star and sun motifs were popular in jewellery during the mid-20th century due to the fascination and race to the first landing of the moon, which was completed by Neil Armstrong in 1969.
