Moonstone Festoon
Moonstone Festoon
They call them statement pieces for a reason. The blown glass chandelier in the foyer. The sculpture in the center of the back garden. The necklace you’ve been eyeing in the neighborhood jewelry store’s front window every morning. You just have to stop on the way to pick up your latte from the Parisian style cafe, the one with the round tables on the sidewalk. And, maybe sneak a peek on the way back. The coffee needs to cool a bit, anyway.
This antique Edwardian moonstone festoon is a statement, for sure. But it’s also so very wearable, with lovely articulation and movement. It features 34 blue-flash moonstone cabochons; 15 are graduated oval dangles and 19 are round cabochons set into the chain, for a total carat weight of approx. 90CTW. All stones are bezel set in rosy-tinged 15K gold, secured with a slender bayonet clasp.
This necklace is in excellent antique condition. It measures 15.5" in length.
