925 Sterling Silver Blue Moonstone Hexagon CZ Stud Earrings
The moonstone holds the moon inside it. This is not a metaphor — it is the optical phenomenon that gemologists call adularescence: the blue-white glow that appears to float beneath the surface of the stone, that moves as the angle of observation changes, that makes the moonstone appear to be lit from within by a light source that is not there. The ancient Romans believed that moonstone was formed from solidified moonlight. The ancient Hindus considered it sacred, a stone of divine feminine energy. In the Art Nouveau era, René Laliqué and other master jewelers made moonstone the centerpiece of their most celebrated pieces, because no other stone could capture the ethereal, otherworldly quality that Art Nouveau demanded. This 925 sterling silver stud earring sets a blue moonstone in the hexagonal frame alongside white zircon CZ accent stones using the inlay technique, in 14K gold plating, at 1.81g. The June birthstone. The earring that holds the moon on the earlobe.
Why You'll Love It
-
Blue Moonstone — The June Birthstone — Moonstone is one of the June birthstones — the stone of intuition, emotion, and feminine power, the gem that the ancient Romans believed was formed from solidified moonlight. The June birthstone earring that delivers the ethereal glow of blue moonstone in 925 sterling silver fine jewelry — the perfect June birthday gift, the birthstone earring that carries the mystery and the meaning of the moon.
-
Adularescence — The Glow Within — The blue moonstone's defining characteristic is adularescence — the blue-white glow that appears to float beneath the surface of the stone, that moves as the angle of observation changes, that makes the moonstone appear to be lit from within. The optical phenomenon that no other stone can replicate, the glow that made moonstone the favorite stone of Art Nouveau master jewelers who needed a stone that could capture the ethereal and the otherworldly.
-
Hexagon Frame — The Perfect Container — The hexagonal frame — the six-sided shape of mathematical perfection — contains the moonstone's ethereal glow within the most precise geometric boundary available. The contrast between the organic, shifting glow of the moonstone and the rigid, mathematical precision of the hexagon creates the visual tension that makes this earring more interesting than either element alone.
-
White CZ Accent Stones — White zircon CZ accent stones set in the inlay technique alongside the blue moonstone — the diamond-look brilliance of the white CZ creating a sparkling frame around the ethereal moonstone center, the contrast between the concentrated sparkle of the CZ and the diffused glow of the moonstone making both appear more beautiful than either would alone.
-
14K Gold Plating — The Moon's Metal — 14K gold plating — the warm, classic finish that has always been the traditional setting for moonstone, the gold that complements the cool blue-white glow of the moonstone by creating the warm-cool contrast that makes the stone's adularescence appear most luminous and most mysterious.
