Vampire Bat & Crescent Moon Pendant — .925 Sterling Silver
SKU: 3687
Two metals in one pendant — and that contrast is the whole point. The bat is oxidized .925 sterling silver, dark and textured down to every wing vein. The crescent moon locked in its claws? 14K gold-plated brass, polished bright. Shadow and shine, one piece. This vampire bat pendant measures 1.5″ × 1.9″ and weighs 15 grams of solid silver — big enough to carry serious detail without dragging down your chain.
Built For
If you collect gothic jewelry — This pendant’s two-tone finish separates it from the usual all-silver lineup. The oxidized bat body creates deep shadow in every scale and wing membrane. The gold moon adds a warm focal point. At 40mm × 48mm, it’s a centerpiece, not an accent piece.
If you’re drawn to vampire or dark fantasy aesthetic — The bat isn’t a cartoon. It has a horned, skull-like face with hollow eyes and a mouth full of fangs. The wings spread wide with veined membrane detail. Combined with the gold crescent moon, the design references classic gothic imagery — Dracula’s night, not a Halloween costume.
If you want something beyond skull pendants — Same dark energy, different motif. The bat-and-moon combination sits in gothic territory without repeating what everyone else wears. Pairs well on the same chain with cross or dagger pendants if you layer.
The Honest Take
The oxidized finish is intentional — it darkens the bat’s body so every carved ridge stands out. Over time, the highest contact points (wing tips, the bat’s nose, the horn ridges) will wear brighter as they rub against skin and fabric. Some people prefer that worn-in look. If you want it consistently dark, a quick dip in silver oxidizing solution brings it back in minutes.
At 1.9 inches tall and 15 grams, this pendant swings. Wear it under a collared shirt and you’ll feel it shift when you lean forward. Over a t-shirt or against skin, it sits flat and centered.

Before You Buy
Q: Is there a meaning behind combining a bat with a crescent moon?
Both are nocturnal symbols. The bat represents secrets, intuition, and navigating darkness. The crescent moon stands for cycles and transformation. In gothic art, they’ve been paired for centuries — two sides of the same night.
Q: Will the gold plating on the moon wear off?
The moon is solid brass with a 14K gold plating bonded to the surface — not painted. With regular wear, it holds up well. If it fades after a few years, any jeweler can re-plate it.
Q: How does a 1.9-inch pendant look when worn?
About the size of a half-dollar coin. It sits prominently on your chest and reads clearly from a distance. At 15 grams, it hangs centered without tilting to one side. The two-tone finish catches light from different angles.
