Moonstones rocks ring

Moonstone, Iolite and Labradorite Ring in Silver

This ring is big but very beautiful, it is made from silver wire and has white and black moonstones and labradorite stones . Although it is big it is very comfortable to wear and will get noticed and commented on. Black moonstones are one of my favorites at the moment but the white monstones are gorgeous and labradorite are just to die for!!!

Check more of them on my website.
