Artemis II Ascent Sun Catcher

Artemis II Ascent Sun Catcher

The second Artemis II piece — and if the first one was bold, this one is the one that got quiet and got serious. Same gold crescent moon connector with its star charm, but everything below it shifts into iridescent A/B heart-shaped crystals stacked center-strand like a countdown sequence, landing on a clear moon face circle pendant that glows like a full moon through glass. It's romantic in a space-nerd way and I mean that as the highest possible compliment.

Key Features

• Large gold crescent moon connector with star charm — same iconic anchor as its Artemis II counterpart, equally in charge
• Three stacked iridescent A/B heart-shaped crystals cascading center-strand — unexpected, beautiful, and genuinely one of my favorite details I've ever built into a piece
• Clear iridescent A/B multi-strand fringe spreading from the moon connector — softer and more dispersed than the first Artemis piece, letting the hearts do the talking
• Clear square lattice-cut crystal connector below the hearts — the composed, geometric breath before the finale
• Clear crystal moon face circle pendant drop at the bottom — etched crescent profile in clear crystal that glows with a cool opalescent light entirely its own
• Gold hardware throughout keeping the whole piece warm and cohesive

The Kristen's Catchers Difference

Handcrafted by me in Las Vegas, Nevada. The decision to use heart-shaped crystals on an Artemis II  piece was deliberate — Artemis is a goddess, the mission is historic, and hearts felt more true to that than anything else I could have reached for. The clear moon face pendant at the bottom is the quieter counterpart to the purple one on the first piece. Together the two tell a complete story. Separately they're both stunning on their own.

How to Display

Direct light through that clear moon face pendant is something special — it glows from within rather than scattering outward, which gives this piece a completely different energy than the first Artemis II catcher. Pair them in the same window if you want the full mission briefing. Or let this one stand alone in a bedroom or reading nook where the light is softer and the mood is right.

Care Instructions

Dry microfiber cloth and a little breath. The heart crystals are the main event — handle them accordingly.
