Moonstones Gallery is where American imagination takes shape. We present one of our nation's finest collections of Finely Crafted American Artwork. Artisans working in a variety of media express their passion in imaginative moonstone jewelry, fashion accessories, intricate hardwood jewelry boxes, kinetic sculptures, wind and garden sculptures, colorful kaleidoscopes and other beautiful handmade creations.
We chose the name Moonstones for our gallery because there is a beautiful beach in Cambria called Moonstone Beach. It is covered with many colorful stones. One of the small stones found there is a translucent white chalcedony that seems to glow with the Moon's light.
Moonstone, like Cambria, is considered by locals and travelers alike to be a very special find.
Another unique find is the gift of finely crafted American Art at Moonstones Gallery.
Nearly all of the art and craftwork we carry at Moonstones is exclusively American in origin. We have chosen to specialize in American Art for several reasons.
The number one reason is that America is where we live, physically, emotionally and spiritually. We believe in our country and we are very proud of the progress we have made as a relatively new nation and in the contributions we have made to the world. We believe that the concept of America is an Art in itself. We choose to support our country by helping to support its creativity represented by its artisans.
The craftspeople we deal with have become our friends, some are our neighbors, all are our countrymen. We have found that our business relationships took on more meaning when we knew the people who made our products. Our artisans in many cases are the people we grew into adults with. We have seen them raise their kids, buy their houses and develop their craft. This brings a depth to our lives that most other retailers may not have the opportunity to enjoy.
