Crystal Ball ring

Description

Moonstone's delicate beauty and its long heritage make it perhaps the most familiar gem quality member of the feldspar group. Moonstone is composed of two feldspar species, orthoclase and albite. The two species are intermingled. Then, as the newly formed mineral cools, the intergrowth of orthoclase and albite separates into stacked, alternating layers. When light falls between these thin, flat layers, it scatters in many directions producing the phenomenon called adularescence.

Handcrafted sterling silver setting encases a rainbow moonstone. I love the organic nature of moonstones with layers that look like cracks and hint of blue that catches you by surprise. Loaded with detail and finished with a patina to enhance contour. Although the ring pictured has sold, I can recreate in any size.

Setting measures 8 mm high and 12 mm wide
Band is 6 mm wide and has an etched floral detail
