MOONSTONE
Icy blue moonstones are the best-known variety of the gem but it’s the ones in warm, delicious colors that spark Karin’s creativity. Think tones of chocolate, honey, olive, peach and mango green all set in luxe 18K yellow gold. The luminous, mysterious stones are instant conversation starters. “Whenever I wear my moonstone jewelry, I get asked about it. No one has seen anything like it before. The stones are totally natural and unique.”
