Metaphysical Lore:
Stars are symbolic of many things. Many ancient cultures used stars in five or six points for a variety of purposes, but most often as signs of protection, and the different points represent different aspects of their belief system. Stars are also representative of the universe, and are often used in Astrology, I'm sure everyone has heard the saying "written in the stars". Stars are also "Suns" to other solar systems, our own Sun is a "Star" to some other distant planet! Stars and their symbolic meanings have played a large role in human history, using stars to navigate by, the Star of Bethlehem to guide the wise men, and many, many more such stories. Neat symbol!
MOON-The Moon is connected to the Goddess, women, fertility and water for many reasons. It was connected to the Goddess/Women/Fertility because the full moon and the cycles of the moon coincides with a woman's reproductive cycle, appearing every 28 days. It's affect on the oceans tides and water in general, make it a Water Energy, as well as affecting intuition and all around Magick. The three phases of the moon, Waxing, Full and Waning, also connect it to the Triple Aspect Goddess of Maiden, Mother and Crone. Wonderful symbolism, and wonderful SYMBOLS. Rainbow Moonstone can be used to invoke the power of the Moon, as well as for intuition, inner wisdom, and knowledge. It vibrates with feminine wisdom and with Goddess energy. The Rainbow effect invokes a spectrum of light, and is very cleansing and uplifting. "Romans called the moonstone "lunaris", and believed it enclosed the image of Diana (goddess of forest and groves), who could endow love, wealth, victory and wisdom to the owner. Greeks called it "aphroselene" which signified the splendor of the moon, or a moonbeam."

Silver is a wonderful metal for use with gemstones, it can take on and absorb the properties and energies of the gemstones it is in contact with and act as a conductor for those energies for the wearer. Silver is associated with the element of Water and directly correlates with the energies of the Goddess and the moon. It is also a metal to aid in drawing prosperity. To increase the properties and energies of silver, expose it to the light of the moon, especially the full moon.
