August: Moonstone

Moonstone beautiful moon-like qualities have made it a sacred stone for some, and associated with goodness as well as good fortune.

Its characteristic pearly, opalescent lustre has always made it highly valued.

Moonstone is a feldspar, like fluorite, and its name derives from the light diffraction that made the Romans believe it was born from solidified rays of the moon.

It has been used in jewellery for millennia, and became particularly popular during the Art Nouveau period. Today, it is the state gem for Florida to commemorate the moon landings, which took off from there.

We have now created a bespoke birthstones collection now available here at a very significant discount (£150+) on the original retail price, and you pay only a small premium on the website price of stocked scarves.

They are printed in England, and normally delivered in less than 6 weeks, often 4 or 5 weeks. We'll notify you when it's about to be sent.

As this scarf is being produced exclusively for you, you will appreciate why bespoke orders cannot be cancelled prior to delivery, and returns are only accepted if delivery takes longer than stated, or there is a fault with the printing of the scarf.
