The ring was handcrafted with classic patterns in solid .900/.999 platinum with iridium and polished finish.

Chatoyancy
In gemology, is an optical reflectance effect seen in certain gemstones. Coined from the French "œil de chat", meaning "cat's eye", chatoyancy arises either from the fibrous structure of a material, as in tiger’s eye quartz, or from fibrous inclusions or cavities within the stone, as in cat's eye chrysoberyl or moonstones.
Star Blue Moonstone
This is a type of moonstone known for its rare blue star effect (asterism) and adularescence (milky glow), carries deep lore from ancient times, linked to lunar deities, intuition, fertility, and protection for travelers, with legends from Rome, India, and Greece, and remains a prized gem from Sri Lanka, India, and Madagascar, symbolizing new beginnings and feminine power.
