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

Many carry with them a St James's Cross - believed to help promote faith and good fortune.

In Xacobeo 2010 - a Holy Year (Año Santo) in Spain because the Feast of St James (on 25th July) fell on a Sunday, over 272,000 pilgrims completed the final 100 km walk to Santiago and qualified for the 'Compostela' or certificate. The Way of St. James criss-crosses Western Europe, arriving at Santiago through Northern Spain. It is generally regarded as a journey of the body, mind and spirit. Modern pilgrims choose to do the Camino for personal, spiritual and/or religious reasons - or simply to take time out from their busy, modern lives. For many, the walk is to find inspiration - improving their outlook on life, bringing them into closer contact with nature and expanding their cultural horizons through contact with other pilgrims. Everyone experiences the journey in a different way.
