Moonstone Jewelry

The Moonstone's name is derived from a visual effect or sheen, caused by light reflecting internally in the Moonstone from layer inclusions of different feldspars.

The Romans thought that the Moonstone was formed of moonlight and began wearing it in jewelry around 100 A.D. This gemstone has always been considered sacred in India, and Europeans of the Middle Ages thought that by looking into a Moonstone, one would fall into a deep sleep and see the future. The Moonstone was very popular in the early 20th century and was used extensively in art nouveau jewelry. Legend suggests that Moonstone awakens tender passions if placed beneath the tongues of lovers during a full moon.
