We get a lot of questions about our Moonstone rings. Below, we've answered a few of the most popular and provided more information about this universally treasured gemstone.

Moonstone is a captivating variety of the mineral feldspar, best known for its shimmering effect called adularescence. This glow looks almost like moonlight moving across water, which is where the gem gets its name. As you move the stone, the light seems to float just beneath the surface, creating an enchanting visual that draws you in.

The most sought-after moonstones are nearly transparent with a blue sheen, but they’re available in a variety of other colors too. You’ll find moonstones in peach, gray, white, and even rainbow-like tones that display subtle flashes of multiple colors depending on the light.

Each type offers its own unique personality, making moonstone a wonderfully versatile choice for rings and other jewelry.

Moonstone rings carry a deep and meaningful symbolism that appeals to many wearers. They’re most commonly associated with intuition, emotional balance, new beginnings, and feminine energy.

Because of its lunar connections, moonstone is believed to enhance one’s connection to inner wisdom and emotional understanding.

In many ancient cultures, people wore moonstone to calm the mind, attract love, and protect against emotional turmoil. Today, moonstone rings are often chosen by individuals going through transitions—whether it's a new relationship, career change, or spiritual journey.

They serve as gentle reminders to stay centered and open-hearted.

Moonstone is especially connected to the zodiac sign Cancer, a water sign ruled by the moon. Cancers are known for their deep emotional intelligence, empathy, and nurturing nature, so it’s no surprise that moonstone resonates with them so powerfully.

Moonstone also has strong ties to Pisces, Scorpio, and Libra. For Pisces and Scorpio, the stone supports emotional healing and spiritual growth, while for Libra, it helps with balance and harmony in relationships.

Whether you’re one of these signs or simply drawn to moonstone’s calming energy, wearing a moonstone ring can help align your energy with the lunar cycles and your inner self.

Moonstone comes in several beautiful varieties, each with its own tone and style. Here are the most popular types:

Moonstone is believed to offer a number of emotional, spiritual, and even physical benefits. Here are some of the qualities most commonly associated with this gem:

• - Encourages emotional clarity and inner growth
  - Supports new beginnings and helps during times of change or uncertainty
  - Boosts intuition and spiritual awareness, helping you tap into your inner guidance
  - Soothes stress, fear, and anxiety, making it ideal for calming an overactive mind

While the benefits of moonstone are rooted in centuries of cultural tradition and personal belief (rather than medical science), many people find comfort and confidence in wearing it close to their heart.

Since moonstone is a softer gemstone (rating 6–6.5 on the Mohs scale), it’s important to clean and care for it gently to preserve its beauty.

Here’s how to clean your moonstone ring:

• 1. Use lukewarm water with a few drops of mild soap.
  2. Gently scrub the ring using a soft cloth or soft-bristled toothbrush.
  3. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
  4. Pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
  5. Store your ring separately to prevent scratches from harder gemstones.

Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, ultrasonic jewelry cleaners, or exposing moonstone to sudden temperature changes. With proper care, your moonstone ring will stay luminous and beautiful for years.

Moonstone is as versatile as it is beautiful. Thanks to its soft glow and neutral tones, it pairs well with many different colors and metals:

• - Rose Gold: Adds a warm, romantic feel that enhances moonstone’s natural glow.
  - Silver or White Gold: Perfect for a clean, modern look that highlights the stone’s ethereal tones.

In terms of fashion, here are some pairings that go great with moonstone jewelry:

• - Pastels – Soft pinks, lavenders, and baby blues bring out the inner shimmer of moonstone.
  - Navy, Gray, or Black – These darker shades offer an elegant contrast, making moonstone stand out.
  - Earthy Tones – Think beige, olive, sand, or terracotta for a grounded, natural aesthetic.

No matter your style, moonstone adapts beautifully—making it a favorite for both minimalists and romantics.

• - Moonstone has been used in Roman jewelry for over 2,000 years.
  In Hindu mythology, it was believed to be solidified moonbeams—a gift from the gods.
  - The stone was especially popular during the Art Nouveau era, particularly in France.
  - Interestingly, Rainbow Moonstone is actually a type of labradorite, not true moonstone—but it shares a similar look and energy.

These unique facts add depth to moonstone’s mystique and make it an even more meaningful choice for jewelry lovers.
