Moonstone and Diamond Ring in 14K

The ancient Romans theorized that moonstone, with its unearthly shimmer, was formed from frozen moonlight. This beautiful gem, once worn as a love charm, does shine like the full moon in summer. The glow that makes moonstone so special, which is called schiller or adularescence, is caused by the intergrowth of two different types of feldspar. The ethereal shimmer moves across the surface of the gem as you tilt it in a mesmerizing way. Moonstone is a birthstone for June.

With a warm sunny glow, 14k gold is the standard for fine jewelry, valued in every culture for its beauty as well as its long history as a store of wealth and a symbol of success. Gold doesn’t tarnish, rust or corrode. Pure 24K gold is alloyed with other metals, including silver, copper and zinc, to make it more durable. 14K yellow gold, 58.5% gold, is the most popular alloy in the United States because it holds gems securely and resists wear and scratching. Your gold jewelry will shine for generations.
