FAQs

A festoon necklace is a design featuring swags, draped elements, or suspended drops connected by fine chainwork. During the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, jewelers crafted these pieces using natural moonstone cabochons set in silver or gold, highlighting the optical phenomenon known as adularescence.

Jewellery from this period typically features sterling silver or low-carat gold mountings with rub-over bezel or collet settings. Natural moonstones were shaped into polished cabochons to best display their characteristic luminous sheen.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-finished collet settings, fine wirework or chain link joins, and subtle surface patination on the metal. Natural moonstones often display faint internal inclusions, unlike synthetic or glass imitations.

Festoon necklaces sit close to the collarbone and pair with open necklines, formal evening attire, or bridal ensembles. The suspended drops create vertical movement that accents structured necklines.

Clean silver components using a soft, dry jewellery polishing cloth, avoiding chemical dips that can strip historical patination. Moonstone is a relatively delicate mineral that should be protected from impact, harsh detergents, and ultrasonic cleaners.
