Big enough for a statement ring, comfortable as a pendant: at 17.05 carats this moonstone gives you both options. A ring wants a bezel or a deep setting, since hardness is only 6 to 6.5, while a pendant is the easier choice for regular wear. We can discuss a custom silver ring setting on WhatsApp.

The stone is from Ceylon (Sri Lanka), milky white, with a bluish adularescence that slips across the surface as you move. Treatment is uncommon in moonstone, and for this exact piece we are glad to share what we have noted. Independent lab testing is your choice if you want it. The reference is AG-000411.

With a stone this size the sheen shows from across a room, so a plain mount usually lets the glow do the work better than a crowded design. Gold warms up the milky body; silver keeps the blue looking cool.

Look at the other weights in the moonstone listings if you want to see what a smaller or larger stone would do for the same design.

This particular stone

This listing is one natural moonstone with a weight of 17.05 Carat. Its price is Rs. 10,350 — roughly Rs. 607 for each carat. Origin: Ceylon (Sri Lanka). Treatment: treatment not tested. Quote reference AG-000411 when you message us about it. The photographs show this exact stone, so what arrives at your door is the piece you chose on screen.

Above twelve carats you are into collector territory. Pieces this heavy are usually set as pendants or kept loose, and they are prized for the size of rough they came from. If you do set it, choose a bezel or a heavy claw to protect the edges.

On the Mohs scale moonstone rates 6 to 6.5. That is middle-of-the-road hardness: comfortable in pendants and earrings, and in rings worn with some care. Store it apart from harder stones so it does not pick up scratches, and wipe it with a damp cloth rather than scrubbing.

Whoever you buy moonstone from, make sure of three things: the stone is natural rather than lab-grown, glass or glass-filled; any treatment is stated in writing; and the weight quoted is the weight of the finished stone. We check every moonstone for those three points before it is listed, and because you pay on delivery you can look at the stone — or have it tested — before any money changes hands.
