The Features of Antique Moonstones
The primary appeal of an antique moonstone engagement ring is the adularescence - the way the light shimmers just below the surface of the stone. Many of our antique pieces feature moonstones with a rare blue tint, which was highly sought after in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These stones are usually cut as high-domed cabochons, which maximises their light-reflecting properties and gives them a smooth, tactile quality.
Historical Designs through the Ages
The design of your ring will depend on its specific era. Georgian moonstone rings may feature silver-topped gold settings, while Victorian versions often include elaborate floral engravings. This variety ensures that when you shop our antique collection, you are finding a piece of wearable art that is truly one-of-a-kind. Each setting is a masterclass in the artisanal techniques of its respective period.
A Magical Proposal
Proposing with an antique moonstone engagement ring is a way to offer your partner something as rare and luminous as your relationship. The moonstone is traditionally a stone of protection and luck in love, making it a wonderful omen for a marriage. Its soft, neutral palette means it will never clash with other jewellery, making it a practical yet magical choice for daily wear.
