Frequently Asked Questions
How are the Moon Phases calculated?
It takes the Moon from 28 to 29.5 days to complete a cycle, from begging to end. This means there are 28 distinguishable moon phases and we have them all!
Our unique algorithm accurately calculates the Moon’s age and distance from Earth and each Moon phase image in our pieces are true to how it appears to the naked eye.
Does it make a difference where I was born?
Not as long as you were born on planet Earth.
Your specific Moon phase remains the same worldwide. What varies is the angle from which you view the Moon, depending on your location.
The Moon’s position and angle shift throughout the day, from moonrise to moonset, due to the Earth's rotation on its axis.
That being said, the actual Moon phase remains the same worldwide, as the Earth has only one Moon.
Does it matter the time I was born?
While the exact time of your birth might have a very subtle impact, it's not something you'd notice with the naked eye from Earth. But we've got you covered!
We've meticulously correlated the 28 most distinguishable moon phases of each cycle, ensuring that what you see perfectly represents how the moon looked during that 24-hour period. Plus, our calculations span every possible year. We've even created an app that calculates the moon for every possible date, making it the most exact one ever created. Your moon phase jewellery will always be spot-on!

Can I purchase just the pendants without a chain?
Absolutely!

The price will drop accordingly.
Do the Moon Phase pendants glow in the dark?
Yes, of course! Simply expose your moon to light (natural or artificial) and then watch it glow in the dark.
How to care for your Komi piece
Since your jewellery is more than just an accessory—it's your personal story—we recommend treating it with care and love.
Even though we use the highest quality metals, please avoid contact with water (shower, pool, ocean, spa, sauna) and remove your jewellery before engaging in vigorous physical activities.
Also, avoid exposing your jewellery to chemicals, natural lotions, shampoo and perfumes, as these can affect the epoxy resin (the round dome material covering the moon phase image) and the glossiness of the Swarovski crystals in our Birthstone, Zodiac Elements, and Chinese Zodiac animals Charms.
We highly recommend removing your jewellery before bed and storing each piece separately, preferably in a tarnish-resistant pouch or box, in a cool, dry place.
Will I get any explanation about the moon phases?
Yes, you most certainly will!
All orders include Moon Nature description cards for each specific moon phase.
We have done extensive research to be able to put together some personality traits that are influenced by the moon and its phases, along with your Chinese Zodiac Animal, your Zodiac Element and your Birthstone.
Our Metals
14k Gold Vermeil (pronounced ver-may)
We use certified 14k Gold Vermeil for our chains, ensuring a luxurious, durable, and long-wearing finish. This means a thick 2.5-micron layer of solid gold over a 925 sterling silver base—about five times the thickness of regular plating. Yes, it is considered real gold, but it's a much more affordable alternative to solid gold.
24k Gold PVD
Our Gold Pendants are made of 24k Gold PVD, which is a coating technique that offers exceptional durability, resisting wear, corrosion, and tarnish, which ensures long-lasting, low-maintenance pieces. It is hypoallergenic which makes it safe for sensitive skin and it delivers a high-gloss, luxurious finish that closely resembles solid gold, all while being an affordable alternative.
361L Surgical Steel
Surgical Steel is particularly resistant to corrosion, hypoallergenic, durable, and safe for sensitive skin, requiring no special care. Since it is not plated, it lasts forever, won't bend, and resists scratching. This metal is perfect for daily wear, offering long-lasting, low-maintenance, and safe jewelry pieces.361L Surgical Steel
