⚠️ MOONSTONE SPECIES MUST BE CONFIRMED BEFORE PUBLISHING
This product lists an oval lab-created moonstone as the centre stone. As with SKU 21282 in this catalog, lab-created moonstone (orthoclase/albite feldspar) is not commercially produced at scale — confirm the exact material with your supplier before publishing. The alexandrite and moissanite disclosures are likely accurate and do not require the same level of verification. Replace all “[MOONSTONE]” placeholders once the centre stone species is confirmed.
A lab-created oval [MOONSTONE — confirm species] at the centre, flanked on each side by a pear-cut lab-created alexandrite, with round moissanite accents set along the prong details — handcrafted in Jaipur in 925 sterling silver, yellow plated, or rose plated. The three principal stones create a layered optical composition: the soft adularescent glow of the oval moonstone at the centre, the colour-shifting alexandrite pears on each side (green in daylight, purplish-red in incandescent light), and the white-brilliant moissanite rounds at the prong tips adding a frame of sharp light return around the setting.
Stone Details
-
Centre Stone: Lab-created [CONFIRM: moonstone feldspar / synthetic forsterite / opalescent glass / other] — oval cut; prong set; adularescent blue-white glow; June birthstone equivalent [confirm if species changes]
-
Side Stones: Lab-created alexandrite (synthetic chrysoberyl) — pear cut; prong set; colour-change: green to blue-green in daylight / fluorescent light → purplish-red to red in incandescent / candlelight; June birthstone (alexandrite is also a June birthstone alongside moonstone and pearl)
-
Accent Stones: Lab-created moissanite (silicon carbide) — round cut; set along prong details; colourless
-
Lab-Created Alexandrite: Synthetic chrysoberyl (BeAl₂O₄) with vanadium as the chromophore; the same mineral species and colour-change mechanism as natural alexandrite; the colour change is produced by vanadium absorbing strongly in the yellow-green region of the visible spectrum, allowing both blue-green and red wavelengths through; under cool daylight the eye reads the blue-green component; under warm incandescent light the red component dominates; commercially produced via the Czochralski pulling method; a legitimate and verifiable lab-created gemstone
-
Adularescence (centre stone): The floating, billowy internal glow characteristic of moonstone — produced by light interference between alternating mineral layers within the stone; appears to move within the stone as the viewing angle changes
-
Moissanite Mohs Hardness: 9.25
-
Alexandrite (chrysoberyl) Mohs Hardness: 8.5 — excellent durability for daily ring wear
-
Centre Stone Mohs Hardness: [Confirm once species identified] — natural moonstone feldspar: Mohs 6–6.5
- All stones lab-created and conflict-free
Ring Details
-
Style: Three-stone vintage celestial ring — anniversary ring, promise ring, or statement piece
-
Format: Oval centre stone flanked by two pear side stones (classic three-stone east-west orientation), with moissanite rounds at the prong details
-
Metal: 925 sterling silver, yellow plated, or rose plated (select above)
-
Band: Slim low-profile band with elevated three-stone setting; vintage-inspired prong detail; moissanite accent rounds at the setting shoulders
- Hypoallergenic & nickel-free base
-
Ring Sizes: US/CA 3–10 (custom sizes on request)
About the Stone Combination
The pairing of moonstone and alexandrite is unusual and optically deliberate. Both stones are known for their dynamic optical behaviours rather than a static body colour: moonstone for adularescence (a moving internal glow) and alexandrite for colour change (a shift in hue between light sources). In this ring, both phenomena operate simultaneously but differently: the moonstone’s glow is a consistent blue-white shimmer that responds to viewing angle; the alexandrite’s colour change responds to the light source. In daylight, the alexandrite pears read green-to-blue-green, framing the cool blue adularescence of the moonstone in a cool-toned composition. In incandescent light, the alexandrite shifts to purplish-red, creating a warm/cool contrast with the moonstone’s persistent cool blue glow. The moissanite accent rounds at the prong details add white-brilliant light return that reads as neutral across both lighting conditions, providing a consistent sparkle anchor as the other two stone colours shift.
About Lab-Created Alexandrite
Natural alexandrite is one of the rarest and most valuable gemstones in existence — fine natural alexandrite with a strong colour change can exceed the price of ruby or emerald per carat. Lab-created alexandrite (synthetic chrysoberyl) is produced via the Czochralski method and has exactly the same chemical composition (BeAl₂O₄ with vanadium) and colour-change mechanism as the natural stone. It is one of the most technically accurate and verifiable lab-created gemstones in the trade, with well-documented production methods dating to the mid-20th century. The colour change in lab alexandrite is typically stronger and more consistent than in most natural alexandrite specimens at equivalent price points, because the vanadium content can be precisely controlled in the lab environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Are the stones natural or lab-created? All lab-created — moonstone [confirm species], alexandrite (synthetic chrysoberyl, Mohs 8.5), and moissanite (silicon carbide, Mohs 9.25); all conflict-free.
-
Does alexandrite really change colour? Yes — lab alexandrite is a genuine colour-change stone; green-to-blue-green in daylight, purplish-red in incandescent light; the same mechanism as natural alexandrite.
-
Will the gold plating wear off? Gold-plated silver plating can wear with frequent use and exposure to moisture; keep away from water, perfumes, and chemicals to extend the finish.
-
Does the ring box in the photos come with the ring? No — ring boxes and props in the photos are for presentation only; your ring arrives in our standard secure packaging.
-
Can I wear this every day? The alexandrite and moissanite are both durable for daily wear; handle the ring with care regarding the gold plating and confirm the centre stone species for hardness guidance.
-
Can I get a custom size? Yes — message us before ordering.
