Art Deco Moonstone Jewelry | June Birthstone

This post includes one or more affiliate links. If you purchase something after clicking through, we may receive a small commission from the designer, retailer or shop (thanks!) More info here. 

Updated for 2020, some gorgeous Art Deco moonstone jewelry to ooh and ahh over. Moonstone is one of three June birthstones (the other two June birthstone pics, Pearl and Alexandrite already got their own posts). Moonstone was a favorite of the Art Nouveau and ’20s eras.

From GIA:

According to Hindu mythology, moonstone is made of solidified moonbeams. Many other cultures also associate this gem with moonlight, and it’s easy to see why. Its internal structure scatters the light that strikes it, creating a phenomenon known as adularescence. The visual effect is reminiscent of the full moon shining through a veil of thin, high clouds.

Legends say that moonstone brings good luck. Many believed that you could see the future if you held a moonstone in your mouth during a full moon. […] Great designers of the romantic Art Nouveau era, such as René Lalique and Louis Comfort Tiffany, featured the pale gem in custom jewelry.

 

Take a look below for some gorgeous examples of Art Deco moonstone jewelry!

How’s that for a beauty? That breathtaking art deco diamond and moonstone ring is circa 1915, and as the seller says, “the strong Art Deco shape and wonderful Greek key motif are bright with early 20th century style. It lights up your finger like the New York skyline at night, moon and all!”. Gorgeous! Another shot:

Next up, these art deco style moonstone earrings by Ermani Bulatti, the blue flash is so beautiful with the warm glow of that bronze deco setting…

And speaking of glow… check out the beautiful lit-from-within quality of this simple, lovely art deco moonstone ring, circa 1940:

Now this next one is really interesting to me, it has that powerful art deco starburst style design, but it’s actually a Victorian moonstone pin, circa 1850…

Ahead of its time, it’s a stunner!

Finally, this mixed metals moonstone ring from 1st Dibs is a stunner in its own way, with an odd sort of handmade look but also somehow streamline moderne-y with those lines and the mirrored look of the stone? I don’t know, I think it’s pretty and very cool…

Finally, last by most certainly not least, this unbelievable art deco moonstone necklace, which I would like for me now please and thank you.

So gorgeous. That piece really captures the otherworldly quality of moonstone. It’s just so unique, and in a setting like that, it is truly breathtaking.

Happy birthday to all those June-ies out there, maybe this year you celebrate with a little moonstone bling (on your finger or just browsing these pretties). Cheers!
