I set a natural white moonstone cabochon inside a 925 silver textured setting. I added an open wire sterling silver crescent moon to the bail. This comes with an 18 inch 925 sterling silver chain. The moonstone has natural inclusions and cat's eye flash. It is 12mm in diameter.

Moonstone is found in many countries including Burma, Sri Lanka, Norway, and Canada. Moonstone's name is derived from a visual schiller effect caused by light diffraction within the layers of the stone.

Moonstone helps with emotional stress problems and aids with feminine energy. It is believed to bring good fortune and to balance yin/yang. Legend says that Moonstone is a highly prized gift for lovers as it arouses tender passion. Moonstone is a very personal stone. It is a reflection of the person who wears it, and only shows the true self. It is known as the mother stone and is sacred to the Goddess.

Moonstone was used in jewelry by the Romans who believed that the stone was formed from the light of the moon. It is also a talisman of good fortune. In ancient times, it was thought that the future could be foretold if you held the stone in your mouth during a full moon. It absorbs negativity, promotes confidence and psychic opening.

The moon has different phases and those phases affect us in different ways. The crescent moon symbolizes new beginnings and dreams come true. The waxing moon represents the Maiden Goddess and can bring positive change, creative influences, and good fortune. The continuing cycles of the moon bring rebirth and renewal to us every month.
