About this piece: "Luna Halo"

This lovely handcrafted, one of a kind solid sterling silver ring is set with an exquisite, expertly cut and polished Moonstone with blue flash cabochon. Excellent quality and color in this stone. I have set it within a "crown" of little flattened sterling dots.

I took photos outdoors in natural light.
The ring is a size 9. The ringtop itself, including the stone, is approximately .65" or 17mm square.

The silver has been oxidized (blackened) to bring out the beauty of the design.

Our logo and hallmark also whimsically appear on the reverse of the ring. This is a breathtaking ring that will be treasured by its owner.

All of my jewelry is handmade in the form of centuries old tools - torch, hammers, anvils and saws. As such, you may see the rustic marks of forging. This never interferes with the structural integrity of the piece, and is considered to add to the beauty of something labored over - not cast from a machine or mass factory.

About the Stone & How It's Formed:

Blue flash Moonstone forms from alternating, microscopic layers of two feldspar minerals (orthoclase and albite) that separate as magma cools, creating lamellae; when light enters, it scatters off these layers, producing the optical effect called adularescence, with thinner layers yielding a more intense, floating blue glow.

Metaphysical Properties

Blue Flash Moonstone's metaphysical properties center on intuition, emotional balance, and connection to divine feminine/lunar energies, enhancing inner wisdom, calming anxiety, and supporting spiritual growth through cycles and new beginnings, often used in meditation for clarity and dreamwork. This feldspar variety shows a vibrant blue sheen (adularescence) and is believed to strengthen spiritual insight, helping users embrace change and trust their inner guidance.

Intuition & Inner Wisdom: Activates psychic abilities and helps you tap into your subconscious for guidance, bringing flashes of insight.
Emotional Healing: Soothes emotional stress, calms anxiety, and promotes serenity, connecting you to lunar cycles and feminine energies.
New Beginnings: Supports fresh starts, personal evolution, and embracing life's natural rhythms and phases.
Spiritual Growth: Aids in spiritual development, fostering inner clarity, reflection, and a deeper connection to universal energies.
Feminine Energy: Aligns with the divine feminine, encouraging acceptance of emotional shifts and cyclical patterns.

About the Artist:

I'm Bonnie Swensrud, and my family and I proudly design, forge, and finish every item you see in this shop. I've been a silversmith for 25 years, and this business is the heart of our family. Most of our work is in soft metals like fine and sterling silver, copper, brass, bronze, and gold. We love to include natural stones and minerals, adding to the meaning and energy of our pieces. Our small shop is in the Pacific Northwest, in the shadow of the beautiful Mt. Rainier. Our work is inspired by beautiful thick green forests, abundant marine life, teeming lakes and ponds, the smell of rain, ancient petrified wood and agates, the profound experiences of everyday life, and the bounding laughter of our five children.

Each of our collections has a special story. Every member of our family is involved in our process - from the choosing of the stones from all over the world, to the design ideas, to the strength and architecture of the pieces. Every single item in our collections is one-of-a-kind - from the hand-sawing of the silver, to the rare and beautiful stones, to the hand-pressed dies made from antique hubs, the soldering of the accents, and finally to our quality mark.

When you purchase our art, you are not just obtaining a beautiful, handcrafted item - you are also receiving a piece of our story. Our heart, our energy, our effort and our family all come bundled in every piece we make. We hope you love it.
