A substantial Edwardian 9ct gold ring set with a large domed pale cabochon moonstone, held in a simple bezel setting with split shoulders. The stone has an ethereal soft milky translucency, with the quiet, lunar quality for which moonstone has long been prized.
Traditionally associated with intuition, dreams, protection and feminine energy, moonstone was especially favoured around the turn of the 20th century, when jewellery often drew on celestial and mystical symbolism. Its shifting, clouded surface was thought to echo the phases and light of the moon.
