Ancient Heirloom Ring - Moonstone
Free global shipping
100% recycled solid gold
Handcrafted in New York
Fairly made, fairly priced
Inspired by ancient rings that graced the hands of Roman Empresses, this is a piece to be treasured for decades and passed down through the centuries. A detailed braided solid gold band encircles your finger, displaying a substantial cabochon rainbow moonstone in a handcrafted bezel setting. This setting is the same used by ancient goldsmiths from the earliest known periods of history.
The most delicate and ethereal of gemstones, a moonstone is a column of moonlight plucked from the midnight air and solidified. The milky color obscures its secrets until turned and peered at just so; within, one will find a soft, feverish blue. The Romans believed that to wear a moonstone on a moonless night is to heighten prophetic gifts, or even divine the future. For a young woman in the entourage of Artemis, a moonstone protects her as she walks the woods by night.
The Ancient Heirloom Ring is crafted in 100% recycled 14k solid gold. Each piece is made to order for you in our NYC studio and takes roughly 2 weeks to ship.
Why Solid Gold ✨
Solid gold is the best option if you:
1. Want to wear your piece forever or pass it down as an heirloom. Solid gold will last for centuries without degrading.
2. Want to invest in jewelry as an asset rather than an accessory. Gold traditionally appreciates in value and can always be melted down and made into a new piece
Unlike many brands, our gold is never hollow - it is always 100% solid, cast using the lost wax method, meaning there is a lot more gold in each piece.
Our gold is 100% certified recycled and each piece is handcrafted here in New York.

Solid gold orders ship from our NYC studio and the time to ship is indicated above the "Add to cart" button on those pieces.
Why don't you make rings in Gold Vermeil?
While we love the affordability of vermeil, it's not an ideal metal for rings because our hands are exposed to so much wear and tear.
Vermeil necklaces can last 2 - 3 years with proper care, but we've never seen a vermeil ring last more than 6 months.
We would be wrong to sell these rings to you in anything but solid gold.
Does your jewelry come in a box or a pouch?
Both! Our packaging is made in Chicago and consists of a peach-colored vegan suede pouch in a branded box, so they’re easy to wrap up as gifts.
