SEARCH for Moonstone jewellery gifts in our SHOP
Moonstone is considered by some to be a sacred and magical gemstone, with the power to bring about pleasant and beautiful dreams. With its ghostly glow, this feldspar gem is indeed magical. Moonstone jewellery is an inspirational gift for your friend or loved-one for many events: At a Wedding for example (or Engagement), for the bride or bridesmaids – or as a lucky gift for a relative or colleague who is having a Confirmation or whose son or daughter is having their First Communion. (Or even as an inspirational good luck gift at a Baby Shower to celebrate the arrival of a new baby.)
To look at Moonstone is to see a truly magical gemstone. The Europeans of the Middle Ages thought that by looking into a moonstone, one could fall into a deep sleep and see the future, and so gifts of Moonstone jewellery were thought to be ideal for people who had dreams of a better life – whether in love, in their work / job or even in business. It can be associated as a birthstone for June.
Presents made from Moonstone are ideal for special events or occasions where a calm thoughtfulness is required, like First Communion or Confirmation. It is also suitable for guests at a Wedding who might be dreaming about their own future and happiness:
- 1st Communion – moonstone or other jewellery gifts of faith – like these gemstone necklaces
- Moonstone or other jewellery gifts of faith for a Confirmation – like this faith jewellery
- Wedding Day Gifts – moonstone or other wedding day jewellery

Indalo Man . . symbolic of luck and protection
This eye-catching necklace features the lucky Indalo Man, recognised in Andalucía, southern Spain, as a symbol of protection and good fortune. Even today, in the small village pueblos that lie hidden behind the giant sierras that roll down to the Mediterranean shores, the Indalo is known for its good luck qualities.
Inspire your friends to be lucky and positive by sending this symbolic piece of jewellery. It makes an ideal gift for a special event or occasion and shows someone you really care.
Dimensions: This dancing Indalo pendant is Gold-Filled and measures 24mm long (including the hanging bail) by 18mm wide. It hangs on a fine 16" 14ct Gold-Filled trace chain. (Chapado de oro.) An 18" chain is also available, please choose in Options Box
Is Gold-Filled the same as Gold-Plated / Vermeil?
No, it is much better: Gold-Filled is a layer of solid gold, pressure-bonded into another metal (in our case 925 sterling silver). Whereas Gold-Plating is a very thin layer of gold that is 'plated' onto the surface of a variety of other metals. (Vermeil just means that the plated item is made of silver: Nothing more; it is still just Gold-Plated.) So, Gold-Filled has a much higher value than simple Gold-Plating or Vermeil because it contains a much greater quantity of gold; and is of higher quality because of the way that gold is included: Once termed “Rolled-Gold” it has a long history - although the modern process wasn't patented until Victorian times in England. It is much more precious and tarnish-resistant than Gold-Plated / Vermeil: It does not rub off or flake or change colour. No es baño de oro, sino chapado oro: El chapado que llevan las piezas es de 2,5 micras, lo que equivale a un chapado oro de 23 kilates.
Everyone needs a guiding spirit to help them through life's challenges. Let this little Indalo be it. Comes gift-wrapped, like all our presents (with an information card about the Indalo) - and we can print a personal message on your behalf.
