Description Now with a proper description.

A necklace made especially for someone born under the sign of Cancer.

The name of the pendant, Rac, means "Cancer" in the Romanian language and it also means "crab".

The Cancer is a feminine water sign, governed by the Moon.

The pendant represents a crab (to be more precise, a realistic replica of Callinectes sapidus) on the Moon, holding a blue Crab Agate bead in its claws.

Very little acrylic paint (shades of red and brown) was used to finish the smaller details on the crab. The moon was covered with a thin layer of white glitter. This makes the Moon sparkle without outshining the crab, which is covered by a layer of glossy varnish. Apart from that the Moon and the crab are entirely made out of polymer clay, which means their colors will never fade.

On the back of the pendant is engraved the Cancer's ideograph. This symbol signifies the union of the spiritual circle and the crescent (half moon) of the soul, suggesting the claws of a crab. The color blue represents water. Silver is the color that energizes those born under the Cancer sign. Around the ideograph there are seven lines and seven dots, 2 and 7 being two of Cancer's lucky numbers. The other one is 3. There are three elements on its front (the Moon, the crab and the bead). The back of the pendant is also varnished for protection of the paint.

A rather fine chain is connected to the pendant through two sterling silver bails, each part of the chain having one white coral bead on it. The chain ends with a beautiful toggle lock.

This was a custom order. If you want something similar... or just anything made of polymer clay and stuff, message me here or on Etsy: www.etsy.com/shop/gemsgemsOnEt… .

Have a fun weekend!

You should make a set of ll the zodiacs. That would look awesome.

I would love to. If I'll get them ordered by customers I'll surely do. I won't make them to keep them in boxes in my room as it happens with many other crafts, unfortunately. My time is too limited to waste it like that.

That would be really cool. You could even do a collection of all the zodiacs.

Thank you! I don't know much about people in Cancer, I think I've only been close to one or two.

It's really great to hear someone talking so nice about her sister. Your age is probably at fault. Or did you always get along well?

I'd try to make the profile of a ram head, with the bead in its horn. Or maybe the head from the front with a bead in each horn... that if the customer would want a ram... I can use the symbol or other elements, not necessarily the characteristic animal.
