Kali - Moonstone kite & diamond ring

We want everyone to have the perfect Cinderella fit. 

If you require a size other than what is available online, please use the note section when checking out to specify your size. We can accommodate resizing up or down 2-2.5 full sizes depending on the ring. There may be a sizing charge for some of our gold rings that need to be sized up. 

If you require a size beyond this range please contact us info@katcadegan.com or call in store: 250-683-9037

If you are unsure of your ring size, we recommend going to a jewellery store to have your size checked. If you are not able to make it to a jewellery store, you can order a free ring sizer HERE.

We understand that sometimes you realize you need your ring sized after wearing it for a while. We are happy to offer complimentary sizing for the first 6 months following your purchase. Sizing requests beyond the six month mark will be subject to a sizing fee. 

Please note:

• If your ring was complimentary sized at the time of purchase, it is not eligible for an additional complimentary sizing. 
• Once an in stock ring has been sized, it is considered final sale and can not be returned or exchanged. 
• Resizing of rings by a goldsmith that has not been authorized by Kat Cadegan Jewellery will void the warranty. 

Moonstone

Hardness:

Moonstone possesses a moderate hardness, typically ranging from 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale. While moonstone earrings and pendants can be daily drivers, we recommend mindful wear for moonstone rings. 

Color Range & Varieties:

Moonstone is renowned for its adularescence, a phenomenon where light dances across its surface like moonbeams on water. This captivating effect gives moonstone its otherworldly glow, with colours ranging from milky white to soft gray, and occasionally displaying hints of blue or peach. Some varieties of moonstone, such as rainbow moonstone, exhibit a stunning array of colours, adding to their mystical allure.

Origin:

Moonstone is found in various regions around the world, including India, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, and the United States. Each locale yields moonstones with unique characteristics, contributing to the diversity and beauty of these mesmerizing gemstones.

Stability:

Moonstone exhibits good stability under normal wear conditions, though it may require gentle care to maintain its lustrous appearance. Avoid exposing moonstone jewelry to harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures, or abrasive surfaces to ensure its longevity and beauty.

Treatments:

Moonstone is typically untreated, allowing its natural beauty and unique characteristics to shine through. However, some specimens may undergo enhancement techniques such as irradiation to intensify their color or clarity.

Spiritual Properties:

Moonstone holds deep spiritual significance, symbolizing intuition, feminine energy, and inner harmony. It is believed to enhance emotional intelligence, intuition, and psychic abilities, guiding the wearer on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening. Moonstone is associated with the energy of the moon, embodying qualities of reflection, intuition, and emotional healing. As a stone of new beginnings, moonstone inspires creativity, fosters emotional balance, and nurtures a deep connection to the rhythms of nature and the cycles of life.

Kat Cadegan Jewellery is handcrafted with love and as such requires the proper care and attention. Wearing your pieces regularly is one of the best ways to prevent tarnishing. When you are not wearing your jewellery, it is important to keep your pieces properly stored. Rings should be kept in their ring boxes and sterling silver & bronze pieces should be stored in the plastic bag provided to reduce oxidation.

Over time- air pollutants, dust, perspiration, perfumes, and other natural elements can dull the lustre of metals and gemstones. We recommend using a soft polishing cloth to polish your pieces. You can also use a soft bristle toothbrush with warm soapy water to help to remove any residues that build up on the metal. If your jewellery has a matte finish, you may also use baking soda to help remove any residue.

The following guidelines will help you to maintain your jewellery in its original condition. If you find yourself thinking you should take your jewellery off- listen to that voice.

Do

• Follow the rule of last on, first off. 
• Apply all of your lotions and potions and perfumes before putting on your jewellery 
• Remove your jewellery prior to physical activity to avoid unnecessary stress or friction.
• Remove jewellery before sleep.
• Remove jewellery before swimming in chlorinated pools or hot tubs to avoid tarnishing and discolouration. The chemicals found in pools and hot tubs can be very damaging to your jewellery. 
• Wipe your jewellery with a clean, soft cloth before returning it to storage to remove oils and dirt.
• Use a polishing cloth to give your pieces a bright shine
• Avoid oxidization (tarnishing) and scratching by storing your jewellery individually in the velvet pouches and ring boxes provided
• Bring your jewellery in annually for a cleaning and inspection. This is a required part of our warranty. If you notice a stone moving, a prong catching or you’ve had an incident- don’t wait, bring your piece in for a check up. It’s always better to be safe than sorry. 

Do Not

• Do not use cleaning solutions with abrasives or ammonia, as harsh chemicals can damage gemstones and metals. Warm soapy water with a soft bristle toothbrush is your best friend.
• Do not garden, lift weights, change tires or kick box with your rings on.
• Do not wet oxidized (blackened) or patina (blue & purple) Kat Cadegan jewellery pieces. The patina is a surface treatment and can be removed or damaged by water. If you make a mistake and get it wet- fear not, we can fix it for you. 

When in doubt, use common sense. If you think you shouldn’t have your jewellery on- take it off! 

If you have any questions, feel free to send us a message. We are always happy to help. 

At Kat Cadegan, we believe in the power of connection and the importance of sharing our passions. We handcraft pieces to celebrate life’s moments, to hold memories and to bring beauty into the world. With each piece we make, our goal is simple: to create heirlooms that will be treasured for generations to come.

Our gemstone pieces feature carefully selected stones,  sourced from trusted suppliers around the world. Each gemstone or diamond is chosen for its unique qualities, ensuring that every item is truly one-of-a-kind. While we may recreate certain styles, the natural variation of gemstones means that no two pieces are ever exactly alike. As a result, we do not restock identical rings, guaranteeing the distinctive nature of each creation.

In our photography and videos, we strive for authenticity to accurately represent gemstone colours. However, we acknowledge that differences in monitor or phone settings may affect how colours appear to you.
