Moonstone Jewellery – June Birthstone

Moonstone Jewellery

Moonstone is one of the world’s most mysterious gemstones—known for its softly shimmering, bluish-white luster that glides across its surface like moonlight. This characteristic glow is caused by an optical phenomenon called adularescence—a unique play of light that makes no other gemstone quite as distinctive. At Velur, you’ll find high-quality moonstone jewellery in two elegant finishes: gold vermeil (925 sterling silver with a 14K gold plating) and 14K solid gold. Each piece is personally designed by our founder, crafted by the finest goldsmiths, and comes with a lifetime warranty—with no middlemen and at fair prices.

Moonstone Rings, Earrings, and Pendants – Our Collection

Whether it's a ring with a moonstone, earrings, or a pendant featuring this shimmering gemstone—all pieces at Velur are available in two high-quality finishes:

• Gold Vermeil – 925 sterling silver with a 14K gold plating (2.5 µm), elegant and contemporary
• 14K Solid Gold (585) – Durable and Valuable in Yellow Gold

Our collection includes:

• Moonstone Rings – as solitaire rings with cabochon-cut stones or faceted designs, for women and men
• Earrings—from minimalist studs to elegant dangling earrings with shimmering moonstone
• Moonstone Pendants & Necklaces – can be stylishly paired with matching chains made of the same material

Gold Vermeil or 14K Solid Gold—Which Goes Best with Your Moonstone?

Both versions use real gold—the difference lies in their construction:

The bluish-white sheen of moonstone harmonizes particularly well with white gold—cool, mystical, and elegant. When paired with yellow gold, it creates a warm, classic contrast that makes the stone truly shine. If you’re looking for moonstone jewellery with a silver finish, gold vermeil offers the same look as gold, with a core of 925 silver—high-quality and durable. Both versions are made from recycled gold and certified sources.

Genuine Moonstone – Quality That Lasts

Jewellery featuring genuine moonstone, with no compromises—that’s Velur’s standard for materials, craftsmanship, and quality control. Here’s what that means in practice:

• Each moonstone is examined under a microscope for luster, play of colour, and inclusions
• Each frame is digitally optimized to make the best use of incoming light
• Every surface is inspected multiple times before a piece of jewellery leaves our workshop.
• Lifetime warranty against all defects in materials and workmanship

Moonstone belongs to the feldspar mineral group—more specifically, to orthoclase—and derives its characteristic sheen from overlapping crystal layers that scatter light and produce the typical phenomenon of adularescence. Rainbow moonstone, a particularly sought-after variety from Madagascar, displays not only a bluish sheen but also a full spectrum of colours when viewed under varying lighting conditions.

What distinguishes a genuine moonstone:

• Shimmer – gently shimmering, ranging from bluish-white to a full rainbow effect, depending on the variety
• Cut – usually cut as a cabochon to best showcase the adularescence
• Transparency—ranging from milky white to nearly clear stone with deep play of light
• Origin – High-quality moonstones come primarily from Madagascar and Sri Lanka
• Labradorite—a related gemstone from the same mineral group, often with a similar sheen

Modern & Classic Moonstone Jewellery

Modern Designs

Minimalist shapes, clean lines, maximum impact—modern moonstone jewellery showcases this shimmering stone in contemporary settings. Rainbow moonstone set in white gold, in particular, displays a mesmerizing play of colours that enhances any look. Each design is hand-drawn by the founder himself—not a mass-produced item, but a thoughtfully crafted piece of jewellery with a magical elegance.

Classically Inspired Designs

Warm yellow gold, organic shapes, timeless aesthetics—classic moonstone jewellery with the character of a precious one-of-a-kind piece. The soft sheen of the moonstone harmonizes beautifully with intricate settings and floral motifs—stylish, elegant, and distinctive.

Moonstone as a Gift – Meaning & Occasions

For centuries, moonstone has symbolized intuition, femininity, and inner strength—making it one of the most meaningful gemstones for personal gifts. As the birthstone for June, it holds special significance for those born under the zodiac signs of Cancer and Gemini.

Suitable occasions:

• Birthdays in June—the most personal gift for people whose birthstone is moonstone
• Engagement or anniversary—a unique alternative to the classic diamond ring
• Special Milestones – Graduation, Promotion, Anniversary
• Heart Shapes & Unique Designs – For Anyone Looking for Jewellery with a Personal Touch
• Just because—because real moonstone jewellery doesn't need a special occasion

Every Velur piece of jewellery comes with a lifetime warranty—which makes Mondstein jewellery not only beautiful but also a lasting investment.

Moonstone Cleaning & Care

Moonstones are beautiful, but more delicate than harder gemstones. Here’s how to keep your jewellery looking flawless for a long time:

• Clean with a soft cloth and lukewarm water
• Do not use ultrasonic cleaners—they can damage the stone
• Avoid direct sunlight—prolonged exposure can dull the moonstone's luster
• Store separately—do not store together with harder gemstones
