"Living alone on her phantom globe, beautiful and dressed in her dreams." - Max Ernst.

This ring has many threads of inspiration. For a while, I've been wanting to make a 'fortune telling' ring and in part this resembles my first version of this inspiration of a crystal ball. Divination and communicating with the spirit world have been inspirations for me since my trip to Lily Dale last summer. The idea of being able to use a stationary object to communicate with those crossed over, or with the inner psyche, a means of communicating with ones self (inner alchemy).

Also, I'm often inspired by the collages of Max Ernst & recently got a hold of a copy of his first collage novel, 'La Femme 100 Têtes' or '100 headless women'. There is a section in the novel that explores a phantom globe & this idea of a globe existing within these surreal landscapes inspired me.

Moonstone is closely tied to the moon, with some cultures believing the stone is solidified moon rays, while others think of them as embodiments of the moon's tears. Acting as a kind of Psychic armor, it is thought to protect its wearer from not only dark nights, but dark times; it helps sooth grief, loss, and other emotional turbulence.

Moonstone is known for its powerful psychic abilities. Used to protect empaths & sensitives from absorbing other people's emotions, it is also is known to be used during meditation for connecting to ones inner selves. As a romantic stone, it is known to strengthen the bonds between lovers when given as gifts, especially during the full moon.

As they are entirely natural, earth made stones, color and clarity will vary from stone to stone but each is selected by hand for its high quality. Moonstone often has a milky appearance and natural inclusions that appear as lines or inner 'cracks.’ The flash will contain shades of blue, violet, or teal, and occasionally hints of warmer / golden tones.  

These jewels are hand cut and therefore may have very slight differences in size and may have small signs of the carver's hands along the edges. These are not fabricated by a machine, they are made by hand and therefore aren't uniformly perfect. The photographs accurately portray the quality of the stones and the cuts.
