MOOD STONE Ring - Color-Changing GEMSTONE Mood Jewelry - Moonstone, Labradorite, Topaz, Ametrine, Citrine - Sterling Silver

 *More MOOD STONE jewelry to come!*

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, so I dove right in and spent 6+ months working out all the kinks. A lot of trial & error, blood & tears, failures & successes... but in the end, 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 mood pigment is NOT WATERPROOF so these pieces should be considered water resistant only. I've tried every trick in the book, but moisture can cause the resin to separate from the stone, and water will 100% deactivate the pigment on contact. But with proper care, the mood resin 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 mood pigment manufacturer: Color change effect may need to be reset if item is too warm; place item in cold area to bring temperature back down for color change to reset. (A couple minutes in fridge will do; don't play with extreme cold/heat aka ovens or freezers!!)
