Rainbow moonstone single-stone ring, 'Princess Gem'





By Shawn
This ring is beautiful, it makes me happy
I never take this moonstone ring off. It is gorgeous and comfortable and just makes me happy to look at it. Moonstone gives a woman her power. I lost a moonstone ring and replaced it with this one. I just love it. TY
Peridot and garnet pendant necklace, 'Moon Ancestor'





By Amy
Beautiful detail...
It took me about two months to talk myself into getting this pendant and I am happy to say it is as nice as I had hoped it would be. Its a nice design and the stones are clear and well cut. I did move the pendant off of the chain it came with to a leather braided necklace - it gave it an extra shot of wow.

About Handcrafted Jewellery
Men and women have adorned themselves with jewelry since long before the age of reason! Garlands of flowers, bracelets of woven grass, shells, and stone; such were the first decorations to beautify the human body. We may have been wearing jewellery as far back as 75,000 years ago - 30,000 years earlier than previously believed - according to a recent report by National Geographic News. Over the millennia, jewellery styles and materials have evolved in step with the advances of civilization. From the Stone Age to the Bronze Age, from the Iron Age to the Industrial Revolution (and seemingly back again!), jewellery styles have transformed, modernized, and then often returned to their most basic forms and essential elements.
