Moonstone Ring Magic: A Timeless Symbol of Light, Love & Intuition
Mysterious, glowing, and rich in ancient lore, the moonstone ring is more than just a beautiful accessory—it’s a piece of wearable magic. Known for its shimmering, ethereal glow called adularescence, moonstone has captivated jewelry lovers and spiritual seekers for centuries. Today, moonstone rings offer a unique way to celebrate inner wisdom, feminine energy, and celestial elegance.
At Vermont Gem Lab, we create exquisite custom moonstone rings that reflect your personal story. Whether you're designing an alternative engagement ring, a birthday gift, or a personal talisman, our moonstone pieces are as unique as the moon itself.
What Is Moonstone?
Moonstone is a variety of feldspar prized for its glowing visual effect—an optical phenomenon called adularescence. When light hits the surface, it scatters between internal layers and produces a soft blue, silvery, or rainbow sheen that seems to float inside the stone.
Key Characteristics:
- Appearance: Milky white or clear with a floating, inner glow
- Hardness: 6–6.5 on the Mohs scale (suitable for occasional or protected daily wear)
- Origins: Found in Sri Lanka, India, Madagascar, and the U.S.
- Spiritual meaning: Associated with intuition, new beginnings, and divine feminine energy
At Vermont Gem Lab, we source only top-grade moonstones—selected for clarity, cut, and radiance.

Moonstone & Metal: What Pairs Best?
The beauty of moonstone is how well it complements a wide range of metals:
- Sterling Silver: Enhances the stone’s cool tones and dreamy glow
- Rose Gold: Adds a romantic, celestial warmth
- White Gold: Offers refined elegance and a timeless aesthetic
- Yellow Gold: Creates contrast and highlights the stone’s internal light
- Platinum: Strong, hypoallergenic, and luxe—perfect for heirloom-quality pieces
We help you choose the ideal metal to match your skin tone, personal style, and long-term goals.
What to Know Before Choosing a Moonstone Ring
Moonstone is softer than diamonds or sapphires, which makes it best suited for:
- Occasional wear (unless it’s well protected)
- Earrings or pendants if you prefer higher durability for daily wear
- Settings like bezels, which help shield the stone from damage
Our expert jewelers at Vermont Gem Lab ensure your moonstone ring is crafted with both beauty and durability in mind—making it easy to wear and love.
Caring for Your Moonstone Ring
To keep your moonstone looking luminous:
- Clean with warm water and mild soap (avoid harsh chemicals)
- Avoid ultrasonic or steam cleaners
- Store separately from harder gemstones to avoid scratches
- Remove before heavy physical activity or exposure to impact
We offer professional cleaning and maintenance for all our custom moonstone rings.
