Antique 1910s Victorian 10K moonstone dress ring
A handsome early 1900s prong-set moonstone ring. The mounting is 10K rose gold with six-prongs holding a moonstone cabochon with a sugarloaf profile. Simple and lovely.
Moonstones display an optical phenomenon called adularescence. As light passes over a moonstone, we see a blue sheen effect that appears to glow. This mystical quality is caused by tiny inclusions in the stone that interfere with the light entering the stone. Some other gemstones can produce this effect but none quite like the hazy, pillowy sheen seen in moonstones. This ring was made during the transition between Victorian and Art Nouveau periods, with the sweet design details popular in Victorian jewelry and the soft, graceful palette of Art Nouveau.
