Lightning captured in stone: the mystical allure of moonstone.

Blue moonstone has an iridescent electric blue flash when viewed at certain angles, and is a June birthstone. No two pairs are alike! The base color is a milky white; moonstone is inherently imperfect and it is in the nature of the material to have visible inclusions and seams. These are stones for imperfectionists and lovers of magic and mystery. The "flash" of color you see in the images appears only at certain angles, so please be okay with a milky white stone that sometimes rewards you with lightning. 

It's no surprise that such an unusual quality sparked many beliefs ancient and modern. Many people feel moonstone represents feminine energy, new beginnings, and good luck. The shifting auroras of color on its surface, called adularescence, have been believed to indicate a powerful benevolent spirit lived in the stone. People in India, where much moonstone is found to this day, believed the gem to be sacred. Modern-day mystics describe moonstone as a bringer of good sleep, a balm to trauma, and a psychic protector. 

Many celebrities are fans of moonstone; Michelle Obama, Taylor Swift, Cheryl Crow, Drew Barrymore, and Tina Fey among many other stars have been spotted wearing beautiful moonstone jewelry.

Pick the perfect jewelry for your unique vibe!

Moonstone is unbelievably versatile and could work with anything. Think summer earrings paired with flowy linens or a sundress - a boho or cottagecore dream. In winter, the icy tones will suit a professional presentation or a day on the slopes. And the possibilities for witchy jewelry looks, fantasy, sci-fi, or even mermaidcore vibes are endless.

Why waste money and environmental resources on "fast fashion" jewelry when you can invest in the clean luxury of pieces that can endure for decades?

How to choose a stud earring size:

3mm is a tiny stud earring perfect for cartilage and multiple piercings. 4mm is a dainty stud earring that also works well for cartilage piercings. 5mm is a good minimalist everyday stud earring size. 6mm is large, but still casual. 8mm are statement stud earrings with a bold look.

What to know about gemstone jewelry:

Gems (yes, even lab created gems!) are individual pieces of nature's art with minor variations in pattern, color, size, and shape. Gem sizes can vary +/- .2mm. Often, large gems are darker than small ones. I do promise you'll be happy with them, and accept exchanges as well as special requests like "Prefer darker green over lighter" which I will do my best to match within my stock. Some gems are fragile and should not go in an ultrasonic or steam cleaner.
