Hand made Sterling silver ring with Moonstone. This piece has a harmonious balance between the rustic texture of the silver and the delicacy of the gemstone, offering a unique alternative to the traditional polished engagement ring.

To create this piece we employ the ancient method of sand casting, where molten Sterling silver is poured in a sand mold. Each mold is carefully prepared to yield a ring in the precise size needed for each customer and the texture is added by hand with a very small tool before pouring the metal. The whole process is unique to each ring, and therefore the result is a one of a kind piece that cannot be exactly replicated.

We also offer this ring in 10 other styles.

Moonstone

Moonstone is a milky-to-clear bluish stone with a faint yellow and sometimes iridescent shine which has been described as “a beam of moonlight on calm water”, called adularescence, which will change depending on the ambient light. Pliny the Elder described the stone as white or transparent with a reflected colour like that of honey, with a figure within it like that of the moon that would vane and shift with the phases of the moon.
Moonstone has been believed to protect travellers and to strengthen memory and Moonstone’s tranquil shine has also been said to calm the nerves, reduce anxiety and make the wearer peaceful and serene.
Moonstone is the birthstone of June and the zodiacal birthstone of Cancer.
Historically worn for: protection during travels, calming nerves and to reduce anxiety.

Every piece we create is entirely hand made to order in our workshop in Oslo, Norway. We do not have any ready to ship products and only begin working on a piece once your order comes through. When you purchase a ring, a pendant, or any other piece from us it will always slightly differ from the one photographed. This is a natural part of the process of hand making and it adds character and uniqueness to your jewelry.

Since the very beginning of Maru Jewelry we have tried maintaining a minimal and organic feel in our designs and continue to draw inspiration from all around us. Our designs are inspired in the beautiful diversity of natural landscapes, the abundance of shapes, textures and colors found in the vast wilderness of Norway. Some of our pieces are particularly rough, emulating the resilience of the flora that manage to survive the harsh Norwegian winters. These pieces tend to be weighty and oxidized, are typically cast in sand in a centuries-old technique, and are made to feel and look like ancient treasures.

We take pride in our production process, featuring only ethically-sourced stones purchased from certified distributors, and using the most natural materials available on the market. We substitute all animal-derived products typically used in jewelry making such as beeswax, leather hammers and aprons, with vegan alternatives, and we try to further minimize our impact on the environment by only using renewable energy to power our tools.

Please contact us for any custom requests or enquiries, as we all always happy to assist our customers and to collaborate.
