Magnificent Moonstones: Anything But Simple Designs Everyone Will Love



Do you have one of those go-to movies or TV shows, the kind you can watch over and over on a rainy day? I have a few old standbys, but the most recent addition to my smallish collection of repeatedly watched favorites is Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris. The soothing music, the beautiful scenery, the abhorrent fiancée who despises moonstone jewelry. Wait—what? Yes, the lovely Rachel McAdams plays an insufferable character who utters a line I simply cannot get past. When referring to a past gift of moonstone jewels, she seems to struggle to describe it, finally settling on “too simple.” Quelle horreur! Now, I am by no means insisting that everyone should love moonstones, and in the character’s defense, we movie viewers were not privy to a glimpse of this “simple” trinket to judge for ourselves. Still, for my own peace of mind, I’m determined to prove just how dazzling these gems can be. I’ve scoured Marketplace for the crème de la crème of moonstone designs, and found what I think are anything-but-simple designs bound to please even the most critical of jewelry admirers.
