More than a beautiful piece

Light on the surface.
A little wonder within.

Moonstone and labradorite belong to the feldspar family, yet each has its own light effect. Moonstone is loved for a floating sheen; labradorite can reveal vivid directional flashes. Ask to see the exact piece move in ordinary light.

At David’s, discover vintage, antique and modern designs with details that reward a closer look. See each listing for the piece’s own story and specifications.

A little knowledge, a better choice

What makes
a piece yours?

You do not have to know every gemstone term to make a thoughtful choice. Start with these four questions.

Read David’s buying guide ↗

01

See the light move.

Ask for a short video from several angles. A single photograph may capture only one moment of the effect.

02

Confirm the material.

Moonstone, rainbow moonstone and labradorite names can overlap in trade. Ask for identification of the exact stone.

03

Choose the right setting.

Pendants and necklaces can enjoy the light with less impact than a ring. Check clasps and stringing as well as the stone.

04

Look at the whole piece.

Some designs include pearls or other materials. Their care needs may determine the gentlest cleaning method.

How to make it yours

A little character. Entirely you.

Good to know

A few good questions.

Are moonstone and labradorite both June birthstones?

Moonstone is one of June’s birthstones, alongside pearl and alexandrite. Labradorite is a related feldspar admired for its flashes of color, but it is not a standard modern monthly birthstone. Read more on David’s ↗

What should I ask before choosing a piece?

Moonstone is generally not treated, but trade terminology can be confusing. Material sold as rainbow moonstone is often a variety of labradorite. Ask about the exact identification and any known treatments or assembly, rather than assuming a name establishes the material. Read more on David’s ↗

How should I care for it?

Use a gentle cloth and lukewarm mild soapy water only when suitable for every material and construction detail. Avoid steam, ultrasonic cleaning, hard blows and rapid temperature changes. Pearl-strung or glued designs need individual advice and should not be soaked. Read more on David’s ↗
