Beautiful blue-tinted moonstones set in pretty nine-carat gold flower mounts. The natural moonstone cabochons have a lovely cat's eye chatoyancy - the luminous glowing optical effect from reflected light moving beneath the surface. Not to be confused with the more commonly found "rainbow moonstone" which is actually not moonstone but white labradorite.
• Condition: In excellent vintage condition. The moonstones, likely hand polished, are unique in shape, colour and size.
• Fixing: Posts and nine-carat gold butterfly scrolls.
• Hallmarks/stamps: The butterflies are stamped 375 (nine-carat gold); the earrings are unmarked but have been tested.
• Era: Estimated mid 20th century.
• Size: The moonstones are approximately 5mm diameter and the face of the earrings is 8mm across.
• Weight: 1.3g.
PLEASE NOTE! All items are vintage or antique and as such show light general wear appropriate to their age. Bear in mind photos are very magnified and flaws which can be seen in the pictures are often imperceptible to the naked eye in real life. I always do my very best to point out any additional flaws, but please look carefully at all the photos as they are an important part of the listing - and do ask if you have any questions!
