There's a Carol Brodie Moonstone ring on sale for something like $70. It also has the black rodium. I'm tempted to try it.

Sanna: I'm sorry your rings were a disappointment.

Thank you LyndaGee. I am disappointed I Carol's jewelry too. I have tried her pieces including moonstones too, all went back. The quality of her stones are not good even though overall design looks great on TV.

Maybe I am too picky, maybe I am too spoiled by old Shopnbc stuff that I have and is great. Who knows?

oh , forgot to mention that I ordered a moonstone ring from Etsy yesterday.

Its on the way to my house already. Looked good on the picture. It is set in bronze though.... It was really cheap, $30. The stone is 15 mm in diameter, pretty large.

If the quality turn out to be good ( I want no large superficial cracks,inclusions and I want a blue chatoyancy ) I can always reset it in gold or silver.

So I will post after I see it. I am very obsessed with moonstones, love it but so far wasn't able to find a good one. (((

Thank you for the warning, Sanna. I will definitely pass on that ring.

I love moonstones but have found that so many when sold via mass production are horrible quality. HSN sells many and often they are rainbow moonstones; when the stone is an excellent quality, it's gorgeous. However, often they are white and opague and or have cracks/lines running in them or just under the surface. In the past 3 months, I have ordered 12 different moonstone items from HSN; all went back except for a pair of earrings as every moonstone was milky white /opague and/or had cracks in the stone.

Shame.
