According to the astrological calendar, the sign of Cancer<\/a> rules from June 21 to July 22.\u00a0 Cancer is the Latin word for crab<\/a>, which is why the zodiac sign is represented by a crab and why my Jewels of the Month are my crab emoji designs.<\/p>\n

You might not be familiar with the crab emoji because it’s not available on your phone — only in Gmail<\/a>. It’s ridiculously pixelated but, on the plus side, it runs back and forth on the screen, clicking its claws.<\/p>\n

My gorgeous ex-employee Eryn<\/a> is very fond of the crab. She often uses it in lieu of iPhone’s dancer emoji<\/a>, who wears a red dress and holds one arm aloft. Sometimes Eryn uses the dancing crab in a celebratory way. Sometimes she uses it in a sarcastic way. Sometimes I think she uses it to say “WTF?!” because you can kind interpret the crab as shrugging. I initially made a tiny rose-gold crab ring just for Eryn.<\/p>\n
