Late Victorian Moonstone | Diamond & Gold |“Man in the Moon” Ring

Late Victorian Moonstone | Diamond & Gold | “Man in the Moon” Ring

A face long imagined in the night sky, captured here in glowing moonstone and encircled by antique diamonds, this late Victorian to early 1900s ring centers on a glowing cabochon moonstone carved with a serene “man in the moon” face. It has that unmistakable softness moonstone is known for, as though light is held just beneath its surface rather than reflected from it.

Framing the moon is a halo of old European cut diamonds, ten in total, adding a gentle shimmer that feels more like starlight than sparkle. The entire composition reads like a celestial portrait...romantic, nostalgic, and quietly enchanting.

The setting is crafted in a platinum-topped design over 18K yellow gold, a classic and highly desirable combination from the period that gives the piece both warmth and refinement. It is currently a size 6.25 and weighs 1.9 dwt, with marks for 18K and testing for platinum. 

A future heirloom, available with payment options at checkout.

CONDITION:

This piece is in good antique condition with wear commensurate with age. The setting shows gentle signs of history consistent with a well-loved late Victorian to early 1900s jewel, adding to its authenticity and character.

The moonstone displays beautiful adularescence, giving the carved “man in the moon” face a soft, glowing presence that seems to shift and illuminate as it catches the light. The diamonds remain well set within the halo, and the platinum-topped 18K gold mounting retains its integrity and period charm.

All of the jewelry listed here is antique and pre-owned, meaning it may show signs of wear, which is a testament to its rich history and the stories it carries. Far from being “perfect” or “brand new,” this is what makes antique pieces so special – they’ve been loved, cherished, and worn over time. I believe that these imperfections only add to their character and charm, and they’re ready for their next chapter with you.

As with all antique jewelry, the stones may show subtle signs of wear, like surface abrasions or a natural patina, which only add to their unique character. Antique cuts and settings can differ from modern styles, contributing to their charm and individuality. Any significant imperfections or repairs will be clearly noted in the listings. Thank you for appreciating the beauty of their uniqueness!

Shipping insurance is required and INCLUDED in cost for any item over $200 to ensure your purchase is fully protected during transit.
