Moonstone's jewelry history spans from Roman antiquity to Art Nouveau's most celebrated makers. Rene Lalique's use of the stone was among the most prominent in the Art Nouveau period, where moonstone's adularescence aligned with the movement's emphasis on organic, luminous materials. For a June birthstone with documented design heritage, moonstone's trajectory from ancient adornment to Lalique's workshop is one of the more compelling in the calendar.
