Description
This description was automatically translated from German. If you have any questions about this piece of jewellery, we will be happy to help!
Moonstones are named after their bluish-white colour and their shimmering sheen, which is reminiscent of the light from the Earth's satellite. The surface of the moonstone appears to change depending on the incidence of light. This effect, known as adularescence, is due to the lamellar crystal structure inside the stone - and ensures that no two moonstones are the same. This ring from the 1960s has a deliberately simple design - and is entirely focused on the effect of the moonstone. The cabochon-cut stone seems to glow on its own and shimmers between bluish and white-grey depending on the light. The contrast with the clear, powerful yellow gold setting is particularly effective. The piece was crafted at the Steiner goldsmiths in Freiburg, as the signature on the inside of the ring band reveals. It is an unusual and expressive accessory that has found its way to us from Stuttgart.
