What is Moonstone?
Moonstone is a beautiful and popular gemstone known for its unique optical phenomenon called adularescence, which gives it a glowing, ethereal appearance. It is a type of feldspar mineral that typically appears semitransparent with a white or light blue hue, shimmering with flashes of blue or white light. Polished Moonstone exhibits an unusual white light reflection under light, also known as the "cat's eye" effect.
History of Moonstone Rings
The history of moonstone can be traced back several centuries and can be divided into five main periods: Ancient Civilizations, the Middle Ages, the Victorian Era, the Art Nouveau Movement, and Modern Times. Here's an overview:
- Ancient Civilizations:
Roman Empire: The Romans believed that moonstone was formed from solidified moonbeams and dedicated it to the goddess Diana, the goddess of the hunt and the moon. They used moonstones in jewelry to harness their mystical properties.
India: In Hindu mythology, Moonstone was considered sacred and associated with good luck and prosperity.
- Middle Ages:
During the Middle Ages in Europe, moonstone continued to be valued for its mystical properties and was often incorporated into amulets and talismans.
- Victorian Era:
Moonstone gained significant popularity in jewelry, often symbolizing love, mystery, and feminine beauty. It was often used in romantic pieces such as brooches and rings, representing deep emotional connections.
- Art Nouveau (late 19th and early 20th century):
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, designers like René Lalique embraced moonstone for its ethereal beauty, incorporating it into nature-inspired creations that emphasized flowing lines and organic forms.
- Modern times:
Today, Moonstone remains a popular gemstone for jewelry, prized for its unique adularescence (the shimmering, pearly luster) and its association with romance and femininity.

How to Clean Moonstone Rings?
Moonstone is a relatively soft mineral, so when cleaning moonstone rings, avoid using chemicals or abrasive brushes.

When not wearing the moonstone ring, store it separately in a pouch to prevent scratching against other jewelry.
