Pear-Shaped Rainbow Moonstone in Sterling Silver Braided Bezel Ring, Stackable Unique Alternative White Stone Engagement Ring Made to Order

Beautiful and unique, this lovely ring would make a perfect alternative to a traditional diamond engagement ring! The shining pear-shaped moonstone glows with its own internal light, reflecting blue, orange, and yellow flashes of color. The 9x13mm stone is encased in a hand-made 935 silver bezel setting and surrounded by a hand-formed sterling silver braid. The setting sits atop a double band, which both lends extra support to the large stone and makes the ring more comfortable to wear, as the 3mm band helps keep the stone from turning on the finger. The band has a hammered texture, and the whole ring has been brushed, giving it a silky finish that beautifully compliments the inner glow of the moonstone. Wear this beautiful ring by itself, or combine it with your favorite stacking rings to really make a statement!

In fact, its name is owed to the almost magical, bluish white shimmer it exhibits, which closely resembles that of the moon. Gemologists refer to the shimmering phenomena as 'adularescence'. As light enters the stone, it is refracted and scattered, producing an extremely unique and attractive play of both color and light. With moonstone, the aura of light actually appears to glow from deep within the surface of the stone. Few gemstones have accumulated as much lore and legend as that of moonstone. Moonstone has been revered for thousands of years by cultures from every part of the world. According to Hindu legend, moonstone was formed from moonbeams; at one time it was believed that if you held one in your mouth during a full moon, you could see your future. In India, moonstone is regarded as a sacred stone and it is widely believed to bring good fortune for those who wear it. In Arab countries, women were known to sew moonstone into their undergarments, because they were thought of as a symbol of fertility. In ancient Rome, moonstone was associated with the moon. It was speculated that the gem was formed from drops of moonlight. The gemstones were believed to possess the properties traditionally associated with the moon, including legends of romance, femininity, intuition, dreams, emotion and love. Moonstone is also highly prized among lovers, as it's thought to arouse tender thoughts and passion. Those who possess moonstone are thought to be able to foretell their future life together as a couple. Moonstone is the official birthstone for June and is associated with the zodiacal sign of Pisces. This lovely ring is made-to-order (MTO), and will be made just for you, in any size!
