Moonstone is the popular name used for gem-quality feldspar that exhibits the phenomenon of adularescence. When light falls on the gemstone, it scatters in many directions, producing adularescence. This beautiful and intriguing adularescence that gives the gemstone’s surface a glowing appearance is what makes the moonstone so popular.

The name “Moonstone” was given because its appearance resembles the glow of the moon through a thin cloud cover. In fact, the most powerful time to wear the gemstone is during a full moon.

Sri Lanka is the world's most important source of fine-quality moonstone. Moonstone is also produced in significant quantities in Brazil, Myanmar and India.

The moonstone is the birthstone of June and is known for bringing good fortune. It enhances intuition, promotes fertility and brings success in love as well as business matters. Moonstone is a very personal stone. It is a reflection of the person who owns it. It does not add or detract, only shows how it is. This is why the moonstone is said to perceive that which "is". Moonstone is an excellent stone to use in meditation to understand oneself. It’s also a particularly good gemstone for women as women’s fertility cycles connect with the waxing and waning of the moon.

Our Swan Collection is inspired by one of the world’s most powerful and ancient totems—the swan, a symbol of loyalty, strength, and grace. Even the word swan is among the oldest names in the English language, a testament to the bird’s enduring significance throughout history.

Swans are renowned for their elegance, gliding effortlessly across the water with an air of serenity. Yet, beneath their graceful exterior lies remarkable power—these birds are strong, resilient, and fiercely protective. This duality reflects the inner strength and beauty that emerges when we embrace our own power.

Beyond their symbolism of strength, swans are also known for their lifelong devotion. They mate for life, making them enduring representations of fidelity, loyalty, and deep connections—a fitting inspiration for jewelry that marks lasting love and commitment.

Swans are found across North America, Europe, and Asia, particularly in temperate and colder regions. In Norway, both the mute swan and the whooper swan are commonly seen gliding through lakes and fjords, embodying a sense of peace and timeless elegance—just like the pieces in our Swan Collection.
