Cabochon Cut 16.08ct Moonstone Earrings in 18ct White Gold

Two ethereal cabochon cut moonstones (16.08cts) catch the eye with a prized moonlike schiller that has been coveted for centuries. Securely rubover set into polished 18ct white gold each has been backed to ensure a truly striking impression when worn in the ear. Each moonstone has been perfectly complemented by a small sparkling brilliant cut diamond (0.20ct) set above each stone. These beautifully illuminate each moonstone and intensify their appeal. A birthstone for the month of June, moonstone was highly regarded by the Victorians and seen as a bringer of good luck. The later Art Nouveau period favoured this gemstone, which was used to define naturalistic creations where cabochon cut examples were used to resemble dew droplets.
