- Demi Lune - Demi-lune is a French word translating to half-moon or crescent-shaped. In jewellery the demi lune shape is used in the design of pendants and earrings. The crescent shape adds a touch of elegance and femininity, and is often used to symbolize the moon or to evoke a sense of mystery and magic. In furniture design, a demi-lune table is a narrow, crescent-shaped table that is often used as an accent piece or in small spaces where a full-sized table would not fit. Demi-lune tables were popular in the 18th and 19th centuries and were often decorated with intricate carvings or inlaid designs.
