Born Free USA and the Born Free Foundation (United Kingdom), leaders in wild animal welfare and wildlife conservation, have joined forces with Catherine Best, an international award-winning jewelry designer, and Sharon Ward, an acclaimed astrologer, to announce MOON-SIGNS Jewelry. An individuals’ Moon Sign, calculated using their date of birth, may compliment their Sun Sign but reveals a “deeper, much more personal you,” according to Ward.

Suitable for men, women and children, and featuring pendants, earrings and cufflinks in silver, 18-karat gold or adorned with diamonds, all sales will directly benefit Born Free’s wildlife mission. The unique MOON-SIGNS Jewelry Collection, available at www.bornfree.org.uk/moon-signs, was launched this week in time for the holiday season. Each necklace is elegantly gift-boxed and comes with a beautifully inscribed scroll revealing the personal characteristics related to the sign.
According to Adam Roberts, executive vice president of Born Free USA, “We are honored that Catherine and Sharon are helping to support our work through the sale of their gorgeous and creative MOON-SIGNS Jewelry, which is set to take the compassionate fashion world by storm. What is equally impressive is their deep commitment to our environment and the welfare of wild animals. In this important yet compassionate business initiative, they are giving us the opportunity to better understand ourselves and help Born Free to help wild animals in need.”
Most people know their Sun Sign but Ward maintains that your Moon Sign, determined by the intimate relationship between the moon and your time of birth, can “reveal the inner you.”
Best commented, “I have been a personal supporter of Born Free for many years. Both Sharon and I strongly support their mission to keep wildlife in the wild. I am happy to be able to do something that can further support Born Free’s efforts to protect wildlife. If people purchase my MOON-SIGNS pieces knowing that they are also helping an elephant or lion somewhere to be free, then together we are doing something for the good of our planet.”
About Moon-Signs Jewelry
Moon-Signs Jewelry is the result of a unique and exclusive partnership between acclaimed jewelry designer Catherine Best and professional astrologer Sharon Ward. “While many of us are familiar with our Sun Sign, we are often less knowledgeable about our Moon Sign, the part of the Zodiac influenced by the moon at the time of our birth. It governs our inner selves, our emotions and our intuition. It helps us to understand what we need to feel whole and complete. It is the Moon Sign that I believe will bring to people a sense of who they really are. Our Sun Sign represents the consciousness and the ego; our Moon Sign reveals who we are on a deeper, emotional level. Understanding this innermost part of ourselves can completely change our perspective on life,” explained Ward.
