MOOD Stone Eye Necklace // Color-Changing Gemstones // Moonstone, Sterling & Brass

As kids, if you accidentally got your glass mood ring wet, it went in the trash. But the rings were cheap, and thermochromic mood pigments have a shelf-life, so they all went in the trash eventually.

In 2021, I set out to make my own mood stones using high quality translucent gems such as moonstone, labradorite, aquamarine, citrine, topaz, etc. I wanted to create a piece of FOREVER mood jewelry; mood stone jewelry that would still look amazing even after the pigment died. I first searched high & low for any companies/artists already making classic GEMSTONE mood jewelry and was thrilled to discover this was an untapped, niche market! I dove right in and spent months working out all the kinks - the process is a bit trickier than glass and because there were no gemstone instructions/help to be found, there was a lot of trial & error, blood & tears, failures & successes... but it was all worth it.

My 2022-2023 MOOD Stone Collections feature only gems with natural rainbow flash &/or colorful iridescence to insure a forever-color-show even after your mood resin dies. The gemstones range from partially translucent to opaque, which produces a more subtle & natural looking color-change compared to glass or clear gems. 

The thermochromic mood pigment hits a rainbow of shades, but seems to favor a deep blue at warmest, to an earthy green at room temp, and a dusty purple at coldest. The colors also appear to change hues in different light and at different angles, which is wild. When dormant (or dead) the pigment will rest at a very convenient shade of silver. 

I do my best to seal the settings to protect from moisture, but please note the mood pigment & resin are NOT WATERPROOF. Water will cause the resin to separate from the glass and deactivate the color change. I tried everything; nothing is 100% guaranteed to work. However, with proper care the color-change will last through thousands of color changes over many years. Please note, I cannot accept returns on water-damaged mood jewelry.

COLOR CHANGING PIGMENT CARE:

*Per thermochromic pigment manufacturer: Color change effect may need to be reset if item is too warm; place item in cold area to bring tempurature back down for color change to reset.(A couple minutes in fridge will do)
