At the turn of the twentieth century, a surge of lunar and mystical interest galvanized into a brief trend of "man in the moon" themed jewelry. This Edwardian fad usually included a moonstone carved into the shape of a face and diamonds to evoke twinkling stars. Our plaintive moonman is encircled with a diamond-encrusted crescent moon.

Seeing faces or figures where there are actually none is a phenomenon called pareidolia. It's a function of the human brain that serves to fill in visual information using prior knowledge or experience. In , depending on the hemisphere from which you view it and the culture from which you come, you might see a pair of hands, a banyan tree, a rabbit, or in the case of Europe and the United States, a man.
