The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Moonstone jewellery gained significant popularity during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, favoured by Arts and Crafts artisans for its adularescent glow. Pendants from this period often combined cabochon moonstones with accent gemstones like sapphires in delicate gold settings.

Edwardian pendants were typically crafted from 9ct or 15ct yellow gold, platinum, or silver. Gemstones were secured using bezel or collet settings, frequently featuring open wirework, filigree, and hand-cut natural stones.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-finished stone settings, subtle natural internal inclusions within the moonstones, and historical hallmarks on the bale or reverse. Construction techniques, such as hand-drawn wirework and collet settings, distinguish original antique items from modern reproductions.

Antique pendants are frequently suspended from modern fine gold trace chains to pair with modern necklines. Their classic proportions allow them to be layered with understated contemporary chains or worn as single statement pieces.

Moonstones are relatively soft gemstones measuring 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, requiring gentle care. Clean with lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth, avoiding ultrasonic cleaners, harsh chemicals, and sudden temperature shifts.
