Love, love, love these outstanding moonstone dangle earrings, circa 1950's. What a wonderful birthstone these are for you girls with June birthdays! I adore the beautiful cabochon cut moonstones, the three dimensional sculpted design of the gold work, the lovely French wire dangles. Such a wonderful pair of earrings for your sweetheart or to gift yourself!
There are two prong set round cabochon cut moonstones measuring 8.00 x 4.10mm, weighing approximately 3.64 carats. The moonstones have a blue adularescence, meaning it has the quality of seeing a milky or bluish iridescence.........gorgeous! The moonstones are well polished and well matched and have a moderate intensity.
The earrings are set in a 14K yellow gold pierced sculpted design and dangle from French wires, meaning they have 58.3% fineness of pure gold. Notice the four balls of gold at the top of the gold work. The earrings measure 1 1/6ths of an inch from top to bottom, 1/2 an inch from east to west. The earrings weigh 4.65 grams.
