Moonstone

This ring centers an oval cabochon moonstone inside a sunburst-style halo of twelve round sapphires that alternate between larger and smaller stones for a dynamic, dimensional frame. The moonstone is held with four prongs sized to secure its domed profile, while the halo stones were sourced in a pale, periwinkle-leaning blue to complement the stone’s natural undertones. The band splits into a V-shape at the shoulders before merging into a single yellow gold shank at the back, echoing the silhouette of the client’s original inspiration piece. Designed as a replacement for a delicate ring worn daily for years, this piece was built to be a long-term, everyday ring rather than an occasional-wear piece. It suits someone drawn to moonstone’s soft glow and looking for a halo design with movement and asymmetry, rather than a uniform ring of identical stones.

This three-stone ring centers a cabochon-cut moonstone in a scalloped, milgrain-beaded bezel, flanked by two round black diamonds set in matching beaded frames. The design draws from a video game motif representing a shift from an undead to a living state, translated into a tactile, dimensional band with beading that runs continuously around the shank. Finished in black rhodium over sterling silver, the piece has a brushed, antiqued surface that softens the metal’s shine and gives the beadwork an aged, textured quality. The center stone’s pale, glowing flash sits in deliberate contrast to the two dark side stones, echoing the light-versus-hollow theme that inspired the design. It suits someone who wants a piece with real symbolic weight and enough dimensional detail to reward a closer look.
