15.36 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, this exceptional grey moonstone is an object of quiet, undeniable desire, a stone that speaks to connoisseurs who appreciate understatement as the highest form of luxury. At 15.36 carat, it is a substantial specimen, large enough to command attention, yet subtle enough to reward those who know to look closely. The oval shape and classic cabochon cut create a perfect dome of soft lunar glow, a surface that draws the eye and encourages the mind to linger. Translucent and serenely grey, this moonstone offers an intimate glow that evolves as light moves across its surface, an optical personality that reveals different facets of character with each turn. For the collector seeking a piece that signals refined taste rather than ostentation, this moonstone is a measured and sophisticated statement.

The gem measures 17.95 x 14.27 x 8.00 mm, dimensions that make it ideal for a range of high end designs from a centerpiece ring to a pendant that rests against the décolletage, or an heirloom brooch that will be passed down through generations. The clarity grade is very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a testament to the integrity of the stone that preserves its ethereal glow while maintaining the natural inclusions that affirm its authenticity. Color intensity sits at medium light, a tone that is neither clinical nor heavy, but one that offers an elegant neutrality, allowing complementary metals and accent stones to perform with discretion. The polish is excellent, lending the surface a glass like finish that enhances the stone's soft adularescence, while the absence of any enhancement confirms that what you see is entirely natural, a direct expression of the earth's artistry. Origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source renowned for producing gemstones of refined character and history, and this provenance adds a layer of provenance and prestige that collectors and designers recognize and value.

Imagine this moonstone set in a 18 carat white gold bezel, a hand crafted platinum custom setting, or partnered with a halo of pale diamonds to create contrast and depth, each design choice elevating what is already an elegant gem. The stone's oval silhouette flatters and elongates, creating a sense of balance and harmony in jewelry that is worn close to the skin. Because there is no enhancement, the gem will respond to light and wear as a living object, developing a personal appearance that is unique to its owner. For those commissioning bespoke work, our gemologists and artisans at The Natural Gemstone Company are available to advise on proportions, prong placement, and metal selection, ensuring that the final piece complements the moonstone's natural virtues rather than overpowering them. This stone is ideal for a discerning client who seeks jewelry that operates on a plane of quiet authority, an object that announces taste through subtlety.

Owning this moonstone is not merely a purchase, it is an acquisition that signals a cultivated sensibility, a celebration of materials that possess both provenance and poise.
