Moonstone: June's Birthstone
If you were born in June, congratulations—you've landed one of the most magical birthstones out there. Moonstone is like wearing a whisper from the cosmos, all soft shimmer and subtle glow, like it’s been gently kissed by stardust. Basically, it’s moonlight you can accessorise with.
This isn’t a gemstone that screams for attention. Moonstone does things differently. It glows instead of sparkles, whispers instead of shouts. Forget bold and brash, this gem is all about understated magic. The kind that turns heads without even trying. It’s soft, stylish, and quietly powerful. A dreamy little talisman that proves sometimes, the softest glow shines the brightest.
The Power of Moonstone Jewellery
Moonstone radiates good vibes. Known as the stone of new beginnings, it’s your emotional cheerleader wrapped up in a shimmering gem. When life feels a bit wobbly, moonstone steps in with emotional balance, inner strength, and that gentle nudge of reassurance you didn’t even know you needed.
Imagine it as your personal calming pep talk you can wear around your neck. The kind that doesn’t roll its eyes at your mid-week existential meltdown or side-eye your habit of overthinking every text message. Moonstone quietly whispers, “You’ve got this,” even when you’re facing a nerve-wracking presentation or trying (and failing) not to ugly cry in public.
Why Choose a Moonstone Necklace?
A moonstone necklace is where the real magic happens. Worn close to the heart, it’s a power move wrapped in subtle shimmer. This little gem catches the light like a well-kept secret, casting a soft glow that lifts any outfit—from jeans-and-tee to “I swear I tried” workwear.
Plus, it’s the ultimate layering star, pairing effortlessly with everything from delicate chains to bold statement pieces. It adds magic without stealing the spotlight. Effortless style? Check. Everyday enchantment? Double check.
No need to shout for attention when you’ve got this kind of effortless charm—and who wouldn’t want to carry that little pocket of calm and confidence everywhere?

Caring for Your Moonstone Jewellery
Moonstone might look ethereal, but it’s not indestructible. Treat it like your favourite silk shirt: gently and with just a bit of fuss. Here’s how to keep it looking radiant:
- Skip the ultrasonic cleaner. Moonstone is a softie and doesn’t love aggressive spa treatments.
- Clean with warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth. No scrubbing like you're tackling a burnt casserole dish.
- Keep away from perfumes, hairsprays, and harsh chemicals. Think of it like skincare: gentle is best.
- Store it separately to avoid scratches. Give it the solo star treatment it deserves.
Ethical and Sustainable Sourcing
Moonstone might be all soft light and good vibes—but that doesn’t mean we skip the serious stuff. The jewellery industry isn’t always known for playing nice, which is why we make sure our moonstones are ethically and sustainably sourced.
We use recycled metals, work with responsible suppliers, and only select stones that meet our high standards—because jewellery should never come at the cost of people or the planet. Look good, feel good, do good. That’s the real moonstone magic.
