Some Moonstone Jewelry That I Made

I’ve been creating jewelry for a couple of years now and moonstone is one of my favorite gemstones. These are some the pieces I made, using silver plated wire and moonstone cabochons.

Moonstone has been used in jewelry for centuries, including ancient civilizations. The Romans admired the moonstone, as they believed it was born from solidified rays of the moon. Both the Romans and Greeks associated the moonstone with their lunar deities.

Like labradorite, moonstone also looks like it lights up internally (adularescence).

Adularescence is an optical phenomenon, similar to labradorescence and aventurescence, that is produced in gemstones such as moonstones.

Deposits of moonstone occur in Armenia (mainly from Lake Sevan), Australia, the Austrian Alps, Mexico, Madagascar, Myanmar, Norway, Poland, India, Sri Lanka and the United States.

And that’s about it. I hope you like my creations :).
