Ancient Heirloom Ring - Moonstone

Inspired by ancient rings that graced the hands of Roman Empresses, this is a piece to be treasured for decades and passed down through the centuries. A detailed braided solid gold band encircles your finger, displaying a substantial cabochon rainbow moonstone in a handcrafted bezel setting. This setting is the same used by ancient goldsmiths from the earliest known periods of history. The most delicate and ethereal of gemstones, a moonstone is a column of moonlight plucked from the midnight air and solidified. The milky color obscures its secrets until turned and peered at just so; within, one will find a soft, feverish blue. The Romans believed that to wear a moonstone on a moonless night is to heighten prophetic gifts, or even divine the future. For a young woman in the entourage of Artemis, a moonstone protects her as she walks the woods by night. The Ancient Heirloom Ring is crafted in 100% recycled 14k solid gold. Each piece is made to order for you in our NYC studio and takes roughly 2 weeks to ship.
