Description

Fabulous large pointed cabochon moonstones mounted in silver with gold earring fittings. The rare sugarloaf moonstones and their silver settings were originally antique Arts and Crafts (c. 1880-1910) hatpins which we have had converted to earrings with the addition of solid gold wires. The stones are a soft milky blue-grey with a beautiful shimmering adularescence.

SIZE: Approx 1.7cm total drop from the top of the ear wire, the moonstones are 1.4cm diameter and around 8mm deep.

WEIGHT: 5.9g.

MATERIALS: Nine-carat (375) gold, 925 sterling silver, moonstone.

HALLMARKS/STAMPS: The mounts are stamped STERLING SILVER.

CONDITION: In excellent antique condition. There is an inclusion at the bottom of one of the moonstones which looks like a dark line across (see photos); it's inside the gem and the surface is smooth and unblemished.

ERA: Victorian (c.1837-1901) with later gold wires.
