Looks innocuous enough at first glance right? Let’s zoom in on the problem:
These don’t go together. If the semicircle on the left is correct, then this is showing moon phases, and the symbol on the right should be of a gibbous moon:
If the cookie-with-a-bite-taken-out in the right is correct, then this is showing an eclipse, and the symbol on the left should be of a 50% partial eclipse:
It drives me crazy every time I look at it.
Turn them round.
I’m not sure I understand. Like put them in the lathe and smooth the points out?
He thinks the problem is that they’re in the wrong order when the problem is that they’re the wrong shape.
Although now that I look at it I think the different colors are supposed to represent shadow and moon, not just moon.
Different colors? They’re all monochrome gold, if it looks like different colors that’s just reflections from light in the room
Yeah, I was pondering if it’d be possible to make it less of an issue. I presume the metal of the discs and chain is pretty thin, so you could get to work with tin snips, a file and some needle-nose pliers. Take them off, rework some and hang them back up. However, a) I’m not sure it could be done satisfactorily and b) that sounds like a lot of hassle for some, hopefully, cheap knickknack, so I’d probably just make it have an accident.
They seem like cheap plated metal, any alterations are going to wind up flaking and looking terrible
Accident it is then.
