Basically moonstones are a kind of mineral in the feldspar family which is a classification that encompasses over half the rocks on earth. Moonstone specifically constitutes of potassium aluminum silicate and typically possesses a very light blue hue. However moonstones are also seen in a range of colors including green, peach, gray, pale yellow, brown, or creamy white. There are many mythological secrets associated with the magic shimmer of moonstone. The mineral has been named as moonstone because as light moves across the stone, its shimmer changes like the shades of moon. The stone is also called as Selenite, named for Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon.

There are a variety of settings available for moonstone engagement rings. However the bezel settings and other smooth flowing designs are mostly preferred as they compliment the nature of the stone. The art deco and vintage are also suitable for moonstone engagement rings. Accent stones may be incorporated in the rings. But this is not always done. Diamonds and pearls are common choices and couples also select similarly unusual stones to accompany the center moonstone.
