Why Are Celestial Rings The Best Moonstone Rings?
Posted: Sep 21, 2018
Jewelry has come a long way since the Art Nouveau period when the beginning of moonstone jewelry was marked as we know it today. Moonstone’s use was prominent even thousands of years ago, and there are thousands of stories of ancient European people relating this exceptional gem with their deities. They wore jewelry and ornaments with moonstone studded in them to honor these gods and goddesses, most of who were connected to the moon, or some celestial force of the night sky. The Art Nouveau period was the time when a French goldsmith, Rene Lalique, made use of moonstone and all the other artists followed.
It didn’t really start off as the jewelry we know now, but it started as shaping the moonstone in different shapes to make sculptures out of it because he was a glass artist famous for his vases, chandeliers, wine bottles, perfume bottles, and of course, jewelry. He created the Rolls Royce hood ornament made of glass which was later used in a special edition Silver Wrath from Rolls Royce in 1956, 11 years after Rene passed away. It is so surprising how moonstone started its journey in the modern era and made its way into jewelry because its healing powers ask you to keep it always close to you so that it can heal your spirit and mend your soul.
Healing Of MoonstoneIt is always said that these healing powers are the moon’s blessings on moonstone because many believed that moonstone was formed on the earth by hardened moonbeams falling on the rocks. It is said to carry the moon’s character of wisdom and serenity, which are the most significant attributes it can provide the wearer or the preacher with. There are many more talismanic and amuletic properties of moonstone which make it the king of gems, at least in the spiritual world. It is worn by frequent voyagers, travelers, gypsies, bohos, etc., for a blessed life and a nurturing hand of god on them. Let us see how the two most magical aspects of moonstone’s history have been used to make moonstone jewelry designs by Gemstone Silver Jewelry.
