Acubens Crab Zodiac Brooch — The Keeper of the Tides

Acubens Crab Zodiac Brooch

What if the zodiac’s Crab were given a body shaped by the tide?
The Acubens Crab Zodiac Brooch gives form to the celestial Crab as a creature of protection, instinct, and the sea.
A sculpted gold-tone crab rises around a luminous blue center, its raised claws framing the stone like guardians around a captured moon. Clear and pale blue stones cover the shell, while curling gold-tone lines and turquoise accents beneath the body echo the movement of water.
Within CELESTIAL BODIES, the zodiac is not reduced to twelve familiar symbols.
Each sign is given a body again.
For the Crab, that body belongs to the shoreline.
Its shell protects.
Its claws guard.
The tide advances and retreats.
Yet something luminous remains held safely at the center.
The round blue stone becomes the emotional heart of the piece. Surrounded by an armored body, it suggests an inner world kept private, precious, and protected.
That contrast defines the design.
Strength on the outside.
Sensitivity within.
The Crab does not reveal everything it carries. It chooses what to protect and when to emerge.
The name Acubens connects the piece back to the celestial world from which this zodiac figure was imagined, while the sculpted crab returns the constellation to a living form.
This is not simply a crab made into jewelry.
It is the zodiac’s Crab reimagined as a celestial body: intuitive, protective, tidal, and quietly luminous.
Part of HORMTN’s CELESTIAL BODIES collection.
The Keeper of the Tides carries its moon within.

Materials Overview

At HORMTN, we use only premium materials—crafted with durability and brilliance in mind. Every detail is designed to last, ensuring elegance that feels timeless.

18k Gold Vermeil

A thick layer of genuine 18k gold bonded over sterling silver—about five times thicker than standard plating—for lasting shine and luxury.

Zircon

High-grade zircon, precision-cut to maximize brilliance—mirroring the sparkle of natural diamonds with clarity and strength.

Freshwater Pearls

Handpicked for natural luster and shape; each pearl is carefully set to highlight its organic beauty and individuality.

925 Sterling Silver

We use certified 925 sterling silver made of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals. This blend is far more durable than pure silver alone, with no compromise to color or lustre.

Returns Policy

You may return most new, unopened items within 100 days of delivery for a full refund. We will also cover return shipping if the return is due to our error (incorrect or defective item).

Typical timeline: carrier transit to our facility takes 5–10 business days; once received, we process returns in 3–5 business days; your bank then completes the refund in 5–10 business days.

To start a return, email contact@hormtn.com. We will notify you by email once your refund is approved and issued.

Shipping

We ship worldwide. Certain items may have restrictions and may not be eligible for international shipping.

After you place an order, we provide estimated shipping and delivery dates based on item availability and the method selected. Depending on the carrier, estimates may also appear at checkout.

Many shipping rates are weight-based. Item weights appear on product pages, and—per carrier policy—are rounded up to the next full pound.

Warranty & Care

We want your most-loved jewelry to last beautifully. That’s why we offer a 1-year warranty covering every piece at no cost. After that, our repair service is available for a small fee—so you can keep wearing your jewelry again and again.

Replating

If your plated jewelry gradually loses color over time, we’re happy to re-plate it for you.

Resizing

Our rings can be resized up to two sizes higher or lower than the original measurement. Several designs can’t be resized due to their construction—please contact Customer Care if you’re unsure.

Repairing

Where possible, we’ll repair your piece and send it back—good as new. If repair isn’t possible and you’re within your 1-year warranty, we’ll offer a like-for-like replacement or a voucher.
