Vedic Moonstone Necklace 26.64 Ct., 18K White Gold

This necklace is an exercise in quiet elegance, entirely set in 14K white gold, centered by a striking translucent grey moonstone that weighs 26.64 carat. The gem is cut as a round cabochon, with precise dimensions of 22.37 by 22.31 by 7.31 mm, and it presents with a soft, lunar sheen that reads as subtle and refined. The overall silhouette of the pendant is deliberately minimal, allowing the stone to command attention without ostentation, and the cool tone of the white gold complements the very light grey saturation of the moonstone. This piece is an excellent choice for someone who values both presence and restraint, as the large, well finished cabochon provides a palpable focal point while remaining versatile enough for daily wear or for more formal occasions.

From a gemological standpoint, this moonstone is noteworthy for its combination of size, clarity, and finish. The clarity grade is very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and those minor internal characteristics do not interrupt the pleasing translucency or the overall appeal of the gem. Very light color saturation gives the stone a neutral palette that reads as sophisticated and wearable, and the excellent polish enhances the cabochon shape to produce smooth reflections and a refined surface. There has been no enhancement to this moonstone, which preserves its natural character and contributes to its desirability among educated buyers who prefer untreated material. The origin of the stone is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a region known for producing moonstones with clean translucency and balanced tone, and provenance from a respected locality adds an additional layer of assurance and value.

The craftsmanship of the setting reinforces the gem's quality, with secure mounting and a finish that mirrors the polish of the moonstone, allowing light to interact with the surface in a unified way. The 14K white gold setting provides a durable and enduring framework, and its neutral color helps maintain focus on the moonstone rather than on the metal. Given the stone size and weight, the mounting is designed for stability and comfort on the neckline, and the overall construction reflects careful consideration of both aesthetics and longevity. It is important to note the physical properties of moonstone when considering everyday wear, moonstone commonly registers around six to six and a half on the Mohs hardness scale, and while it is suitable for regular use with care, it should be protected from hard knocks and abrasive contact. Proper storing and occasional professional cleaning will help maintain the polish and the appealing lunar glow that make this gem so special.

Beyond technical attributes, this necklace is an object of sentiment and personal meaning, and that is where its true value often resides. A large, gently glowing moonstone carried close to the heart can act as a wearable emblem of memory, transition, or intention, its subtle grey hue offering a quiet backdrop for the stories of daily life. The moonstone can mark a milestone, celebrate a calming presence, or become an heirloom passed between generations, because its understated beauty lends itself to emotional attachment without shouting for attention. At The Natural Gemstone Company we understand that provenance and craftsmanship are part of the story, and we are happy to discuss the origin, the unenhanced nature, and the detailed grading of this piece to help you make a confident choice. If you are seeking a piece that combines considered gemological quality with a capacity to hold deep personal meaning, this 14K white gold moonstone necklace offers both, a balanced marriage of material integrity and sentimental potential.
