Description from the seller
Ring size 59
Exclusive moonstone ring - set in 925 silver
This elegant ring is naturally exceptional.
The earliest historical reference to the moonstone comes from Pliny the Elder (23-79). Writer, historian, naturalist, soldier, poet, and philosopher, Pliny the Elder compiled the knowledge of his time into 37 volumes. Pliny the Elder's natural history remained a reference in many fields until the end of the Middle Ages.
In his concise work, Natural History of Precious Stones, Pliny the Elder writes that the Lunar Stone (Astrion) 'contains the image of the moon, which, if the story is true, waxes and wanes daily according to the state of the light.'
The idea that moonstones would change in size and luster according to the phases of the moon was repeated by many other ancient and medieval lapidaries.
Antoine Mizuald, a renowned 16th-century doctor-astrologer, in his book the Centuriae, studies the changing size of the moonstone and its shimmer, which he compares to the moon's position in the sky. His research led him to conclude that there was in fact a direct correspondence between the moonstone and the moon's position.
Moonstone has always fascinated the peoples who know it.
