Whether together or separately, moonstones and pearls can be the perfect addition to an elegant outfit.
Stick around and let's discover together why they have been so valuable throughout history and some must-have sets you can wear.
Traditionally speaking, some mythologies believed that pearls originated through the interaction of divine beings.
For the oldest Japanese legends, a beautiful pearl found in the sea was the crystallization of a nymph's or mermaid's tear. According to their wonderful stories, they lay in the mouths of ancient dragons and whoever managed to remove them would gain great wisdom.
Have you ever heard the phrase "a mother has many pearls of wisdom"? It is an allusion to the longevity of this beautiful gemstone and its tradition as a gem of knowledge. The oldest one is almost 7,500 years old.
For the Greeks, pearls were the tears of the goddess of love, hence they were the favorite gift for brides on their wedding day.
Although pearls are originally from the sea, being formed inside certain mollusks, overfishing turned them into very scarce elements.
To solve this, complex cultivation techniques were developed. Depending on the cultivation method, and the activating methods, we can find rare midnight black pearls and snow-white pearls. In between, there is an exquisite variety of colors, each more brilliant and delicate than the last.
A high quality pearl possesses beautiful well-defined edges a natural luster and an attractive color.
Pearls have inspired a large number of Albert Hern designs.
From details with freshwater cultured pearls, whose silky and seductive luster contrasts perfectly with beautiful geometric style diamonds. To pearls of marine origin, rare and completely unique.
Albert Hern's most demanding pieces use only perfect round pearls, studied down to the smallest detail to make a statement of timeless luxury.
Moonstones have been praised by all cultures that have believed in the moon as a deity, from the ancient Celts, to the Greeks themselves.
Given the peculiar physical characteristics of the moonstone, which distinguish them from any other gemstone, there has always been speculation as to their origin, either as a crystallized fragment of moonlight or a stone extracted from the moon itself.
Although we know this is not the case, its particular adularescence, a unique effect that makes its interior seem to glow naturally, makes it very clear why this ancestral belief.
A curious fact is that in 1970 the moonstone became the official gemstone of the state of Florida, as a commemorative reference to the Apollo 11 moon landing. The fact is that neither in Florida nor on the moon can you find these beautiful stones.
Moonstones are simply unique and beautiful. Their physical characteristics are best used in elegant cabochon cuts or delicate beads.
While their forte is not dazzling brilliance, their curious inner light gives them a mystical, alluring and special aura.
Moonstones often fall victim to many inclusions, so the best pieces tend to be clean, revealing their spectacular inner layers with exquisite faded tones.
