Moonstone, milky and translucent, holding captured starlight in its depths. A blue shimmer — adularescence — drifts across the surface like moonlight floating on water, appearing and vanishing as the bracelet moves. A phenomenon that has fascinated civilizations for millennia. Set in a bezel to protect the soft stone and frame its glow. A small brilliant diamond nestles beside it, bezel-set in solid gold — a spark of clarity that sharpens the moonstone's dreaminess without competing with it. Mystery and clarity, side by side. A talisman for quiet moments, for those who carry the promise of light through darkness.
There are two metal choices:
• All Gold: Solid 14k yellow gold.
• Silver + Gold: Solid fine silver and solid sterling silver, with a solid 14k yellow gold frame around the diamond.
The bracelet circumference is 6.5". If you require a different size, please contact the studio.
Moonstone comes from the mineral adularia, named for an early mining site near Mount Adular in Switzerland. This site also birthed the term adularescence, a billowy effect caused by the microscopic layers of feldspar that scatter light and give the stone its milky glow.
Moonstone has been admired and used in jewelry across cultures since ancient civilizations. Ancient Romans believed moonstone was formed from solidified moonlight, often associating it with their moon goddess, Diana, and believing it could bestow love, passion, and wisdom. Ancient Greeks called moonstone Aphroselene, merging the names of their goddesses of love (Aphrodite) and the moon (Selene). Believed to be formed from Selene’s tears, the stone was a sacred talisman representing passionate love, fertility, and divine protection. In Hindu mythology, moonstone is revered as a sacred "dream stone" formed from solidified moonbeams, representing divine feminine energy, love, and passion. In more recent history, moonstone became popular during the Art Nouveau period.
