What Makes It Special
Moonstone gets its name from that floating shimmer (called adularescence) that moves across the stone's surface like moonlight on water. This particular stone shows blue and white flashes against a creamy base. The teardrop shape is oriented vertically on your wrist, creating an elegant line. The simple round wire cuff keeps the focus entirely on the stone, and the small wire wrap detail at the base of the setting adds a handcrafted touch without cluttering the design.
Perfect For Your Lifestyle
The open cuff design makes it easy to put on and take off - no fumbling with clasps. At 7¾" diameter, it fits most wrists comfortably, and the open back allows for slight adjustment if needed (you can gently squeeze or expand it by about a quarter inch). The round wire is smooth and comfortable against your skin. The stone sits off to one side rather than centered, so it's visible when you're working on a laptop or doing other activities. This works equally well alone or stacked with other bracelets.
About Moonstone
Moonstone is a variety of feldspar that shows a floating light effect caused by its internal structure. The stone has been valued for centuries and is associated with intuition and new beginnings. High-quality moonstone like this piece shows clear blue flashes rather than just a milky appearance. It's relatively durable but softer than quartz, so it benefits from the protective bezel setting.
Care & Longevity
Sterling silver maintains its finish with occasional polishing. Moonstone should be removed before heavy physical activity, swimming, or applying lotions. The bezel setting protects the stone's edges. Because this is an open cuff, avoid over-adjusting it. Gentle bending is fine, but excessive manipulation can weaken the metal over time. Store separately to prevent scratching.
Sizing Note
The 7¾" diameter is measured as the interior circumference. This typically fits wrists measuring 6½"-7½" comfortably. The cuff can be very slightly adjusted, but it's not designed for significant size changes.
