The planet Jupiter has eighty moons; an extravagance rarely matched on earth, that is until this necklace came along. It’s set with an impressive eighty-three moonstones, each aglow in its unique blue haze, in fearless competition with Jupiter’s giants; Callisto, Io and Europa. Each smooth cabochon is wrapped in a ring of rosy gold, and linked side by side to form a long chain with a large moonstone drop at the center. At its longest the chain measures 33.0 inches, though is cleverly affixed with a clasp midway, which allows you to quickly double the chain without any fuss. It’s not every day that a jewel eclipses the planets; so, go ahead earthling, outdo Jupiter.
